EXTERMINATION OF JEWS PLANNED BY HITLER LONG BEFORE HE CAME TO POWER

In 1919, fourteen years before he came to power, Adolf Hitler called for an 'Aliens Law' and wrote, 'The ultimate objective of such legislation must, however, be the irrevocable removal of the Jews in general.'

The first known document in which Adolf Hitler wrote about the 'irrevocable removal' of Jews has been bought by a Holocaust museum in Los Angeles.

The 1919 diatribe charts his plans for their extermination a full 21 years before the massacres began in Russia and in death camps in occupied Poland.

The paper, known as the 'Gemlich Letter' were sent to Adolf Gemlich who was in charge of the post-World War One German army.

Writing about the 'Jewish Question' he describes Jews as being 'like a racial tuberculosis' and that there needs to be an 'elimination of the privileges of the Jews' and calls for an 'Aliens Law'.

The most chilling line, however, is a line in which he makes no apology and does not try to cover up his intentions when he writes: 'The ultimate objective of such legislation must, however, be the irrevocable removal of the Jews in general.'

The letter has been bought by the Holocaust remembrance organisation for £100,000 and will go on display at the Museum of Tolerance which charts the slaughter of six million Jews.

Scholars have been known about the letter for some time and it is considered significant because it shows just how far back Hitler started vocalising his ideas to wipe out Jews.

Historian Saul Friedlander said: 'It is Hitler's first written statement about the Jews. It shows that they were at the very heart of his political passions from the beginning.'

Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, said he acquired the four-page letter through a dealer last month.

He said: 'In terms of the Holocaust we have nothing that would compare to this document.'

At the time of the letter, Hitler was in Munich where he was struggling to find a purpose after the slaughter in the trenches of WWI.

In July that year he was appointed a police spy of an intelligence commando when he was sent to infiltrate the German Workers' Party.

However, he became obsessed with the notion of a 'non-Jewish' idea of Socialism and like the antisemitic, anti-Marxist ideas of the party.

Just two months later, founder Anton Drexler became impressed with Hitler's oratory skills and invited him to join the party.
