The Place and Time of The Final Solution In this essay I am going to explain how and where the final solution took place for the Holocaust. In my opinion and according to some historical evidence, I am going to explain how the final solution took place. Firstly there are the logistics, for example how Hitler began with the processes of transportation, and with the help of Echman, Heydrict and Himmler it soon led to the eviction of Jews from their homes then the running of Ghettos, the concentration camps and extermination camps. Also another reason of how the final solution took place was the Nazi policy towards the Jews. The Nazis acts of discrimination towards the Jews, for example the organizing of the ghettos, boycotting of Jewish shops and businesses, persecution, beatings and shootings was inevitably going to lead to something, however it was certainly not planned, that six million Jews were to be killed. Did Hitler actually plan the extermination of the Jews from the very beginning? It is highly doubtful that Hitler knew and planned the extermination of Jews worldwide. However, there were many things, which happened that led to the extermination, and the many people who had an influence on his views. For example the book 'Mein Kampf' which he wrote during his time in prison, his book was extremely anti-Semitic and his views on Jews, disabled people, black people etc. This more or less was how he was, and from there his discrimination towards the Jews began. What also led to the final solution were the speeches Hitler delivered to different audiences in society and how his anti Semitic view grew stronger and stronger with the followers he gained. Hitler was always quite reserved of what words he would use he mentioned often, 'if war is to break out' probably as an excuse for what was really going to happen. Nobody really suspected that Hitler had plans to exterminate the Jews, it was just a case of them being resettled in the East.
