It is perhaps too complimen-

display there existed also a man
of genuine knowledge and some

fited from an apostate Jew's
generosity, from his godfather
Dr. Herman Epenstein. The

Friday, January 31, 1964—THE DETROIT JEWSH
Goering Exposed in Demoniacal
c)
Role of Giving Order for 'Final
z
Solution of the Jewish Problem'
enough he was prepared to
overlook the Jewish blood in
his veins. The case of Erhard
Mulch, whose father was a Jew,
is notorious; in order that
Mulch should become the State
Secretary of Goering's Air
Ministry, his mother was re-
quired to sign a declaration
that she had conceived him
with -a non-Jewish lover. 'It is
I,' said Goering, 'who decides
if anyone is a Jew!' "
When Jewish stores and ware-
houses were being burned, Goer-
ing said: "It's insane to clean
out and burn a Jewish ware-
house and then leave a German
insurance company make good
the loss! The goods that I need
desperately, whole bales of cloth-
ing and what not, are being
burned; and I miss them every-
where." It is on this ground
that he opposed destruction of
Jewish property: because he
needed their property!
This man became Germany's
Maecenas. He acquired wealth—
and confiscation of Jewish prop-.
erty helped him attain his greedy
goal. The barbaric glutton. Ac-
cording to (Bruno) Lohse, "Goer-
ing gave a certain measure of
concealed protection to Jews
who had given him valuable
service in his art deals."
Two hours before his execu-
tion was to take place, on Oct.
15, 1946, Goering asked and
was refused the last rites of the
Lutheran • Church, since he had
made no effort to repent for his
crimes while in prison. "Nor
was repentance in his heart." He
succeeded in securing the vial
of poison and he lay dead at 10
minutes to 11 on that night in
his prison cell. And the authors
of the Goering story conclude:
"Two hours later, in the
small hours of the night, Rib-
bentrop took Goering's place
as the first man to die by the
rope. Then followed the others,
Keitel, Kaltenbrunner, Rosen-
berg, Frank, Frick, Streicher,
Sauckel, Jodi, Seyss-Inquart.
Their dead bodies were burned
and their ashes were scattered.
Goering, who had cheated the
scaffold, was thrown with the
others into the fire."
To the end, this criminal con-
sidered himself a martyr. He
feared the psychologists' inter-
pretation of his life and he asked
to die like a soldier, not by
hanging. There was no remorse
in this cruel being; and like
Adolf Eichmann, whose course
he must have chartered by or-
dering the "final solution," he
was burned so that his ashes
could be strewn to the winds.
