`    This is the memo that I meant - by the way my German appears really,really, really bad - the German version appears to be copied from the USA version. Of course this is just one of many memos between the participants. I note that the memos that you put forward, however, seem to show that the ``Jewish problem`` was being handled in ways other than gas chambers - ie deportation or sterilization ( both rather extreme injustices but not deadly - a little reading shows that Hitler, Himmler,etc... could be quite squimish about  killing people (ie the wiki article ``Night and Fog`` sugggests as much). There has been attempts to question this memo's provenace, however, this memo is just one of several that follow the same theme - ``leave the Jewish problem alone, at least till the war is over``. If there was any gassing - or any murder of  Jews - it was being done behind Hitler's back ( and  the backs of any loyal/ambitious Hitlerites ), a not very plausible scenario, but the one  the memos would force on believers.   The memo I meant was:  ``Mr Reich Minister Lammers informed me that the Führer had repeatedly declared to him that he wants to hear that the Solution of the Jewish Problem has been postponed until after the war is over. That being so, the current discussions are of purely theoretical value, in Mr Reich Minister Lammers' opinion. He will moreover take pains to ensure that, whatever else happens, no fundamental decisions are taken without his knowledge in consequence of a surprise briefing by any third party.`` July 1942  Unless some scholar can find a memo dated after this that reverses the  policy - and I believe all the memos and actions taken by various people  (ie Himmler,Luther, Morgan, etc ) instead tend to confirm the policy -  it appears that finding a memo with a Hitler ( ie official ) connection to the Holocaust is just a dream. ( Irving's $1,000 - or whatever amount - seems safe) I hope this memo can make it into the article - ( he may have been a nasty guy but honestly he was  probably just a bureaucrat, that seems to be the treatment he  received after the war by people on the scene).  Browsing/reading the German language wikipedia - I am not really a good German reader but correct me if you are - version of this article it appears they also avoid the relevant memo, but of course they have the fear of prosecution over their heads. In America our reluctance, at least, isn't legal.  Finding the Luther memo, it appears this memo is of an even later date.  It is even more revealing as to what the policy toward Jews was during the war. All Jews were to be expelled from Europe after the war was over - so it  appears Hitler was not talking gas chambers,etc quite late in the war.  Memos of this sort seem to crowd all the Holocaust gassing,etc into a very small time frame - an impossibly small time frame, probably why the  memos are ignored by all right thinking people.    PS I just found out that the Luther memo has a long history. It has been ignored  since at least the 1970s. I thought this was a relatively recent discovery by scholars etc - it appears to just be an old unanswerable embarrasment  to the Holocaust story. Thanks for pushing me to search harder. One of the troubles with trying to hide or falsify history appears to be that it takes very little work by very unknowledgeable people ( ie me )  to discover the truth. I found most of the information that seems more plausible than the ``official`` story by just hitting ENTER on more than the the first page of search engine results.     `
