Koenigsberg's Lecture at California State University (excerpt)

(SCROLL DOWN FOR INFORMATION)

"Hitler developed and promoted a theory about the nature of the Jewish people. Jewish destructiveness, he believed, was built into their genes. By virtue of their biologically given nature, Hitler imagined that Jews sought to destroy Germany, indeed not only Germany, but all nations. Strange as this idea seems, Hitler believed Jews were genetically programmed to act to destroy nation-states.

      "Jews could not help doing what they were programmed to do. Hitler was convinced that If the German nation was to survive, Jews had to be exterminated. If Jews lived, Germany would die. This was the thinking that generated the Holocaust."
