Letter to Camp Commandants On Death Rate
Thanks Paul
Oranienburg 20th January
1943
Adressed to Commandants of all Camps.
The enclosed letter is to inform you of following;
As I have already mentioned, you must use every method available
to lower the death rates in the camps.
By making all the rations available to you as tasty as possible,
and by including the many food parcels that are now being
delivered I believe this to be possible
I am making the Camp Commandants and the Office of Camp
Affairs personally responsible for carrying out these orders and
I will, when dealing with future personnel assessments keep in
mind whether you carried out your duties, in this area, to the
very best of your abilities.

interpreted to read...kill all Jews, throw children into burning
pits otherwise you are off the the Ruski front )
