You must be getting RSI in your old artheritic fingers with all that thumbing Lisa, lol

The budget will be decided in accordance with requirements for certain periods at a time, and the necessary sum made available to the Council of Elders in Theresienstadt. The capacity of Theresienstadt to accommodate Jews is quite large. When I was asked how many Jews from Vienna might be considered for Theresienstadt, I named a figure of about 12,000 persons; SS Obersturmbannfuehrer Eichmann declared that the number of Jews from Vienna could be settled there.

It's so obvious you live alone Lisa. Nobody with family or friends would waste hours every day thumbing, lol

@HauptFurzHebel You are insane Lisa. Only an insane Nazi lives on a dead video trying to burn books, but I'll carry on adding more to keep you busy and entertained. It certainly entertains me.

At the end of the war, Baer fled and lived near Hamburg as Karl Neumann; he was found and arrested in December 1960, and died in detention in 1963. He was a member of N.S.D.A.P. (no. 454991) and the SS (no. 44225).

Another year later, in 1943, Baer became adjutant of SS-Obergruppenführer Oswald Pohl, then chief of the Wirtschaftsverwaltungshauptamt­; he took over department D I in November the same year before succeeding Arthur Liebehenschel as commander of Auschwitz from May 11 1944 until the final dissolution of the camp in early 1945.

Baer was born in Bavaria in 1911; originally a confectioner, he became a guard in Dachau concentration camp after becoming unemployed in 1930. In 1939, he joined the SS-Totenkopfdivision, and was appointed adjutant of Neuengamme concentration camp in 1942

Richard Baer was a Nazi official with the rank of SS-Sturmbannführer and commander of the Auschwitz I concentration camp from May 1944 to February 1945.

SS Obersturmbannfuehrer Eichmann declared that the destination for emigration was decided together with departments of the Wehrmacht, and that it was not possible to say in advance where the transports would go; he would see what could be done in this matter.

[DeadOzone]

I also asked that a part of the Jews designated for emigration, particularly the children at present in youth and children’s homes, who are under my care as guardian of orphans, should be sent to Warsaw with the personnel looking after them, because I could then be sure that they will receive the proper care and attention in a large Jewish center.

[DeadOzone]

I pointed out that a total evacuation of Jews from Vienna was scarcely possible, because as a result of the large-scale emigration and the unusually high age of the remaining population there is a disproportionate number of aged and sick persons, who must be considered as incapable of travelling. In any case a fairly large number of Jews will remain in Vienna owing to the exclusion from deportation of [members of] Jewish mixed marriages.
