Goebbels and the Berlin Jews query

Post by LAstry2 » 01 Aug 2022 03:39

The gauleiter of Berlin Dr Josef Goebbels is said to have reacted to the death of SS general Reinhard Heydrich in one of two ways:
1) Ordering 152 Jews in Berlin shot as a reprisial
2) Recording in his diary the deportation of 152 Jews from Berlin to the east with their property going to the Reichsbank

Which version is correct?
What was his exact diary entry?

Suggest you consult JG's diary entries surrounding the days immediately before and after 27 May 1942 and in particular the entries for 2 June 1942 and 4 June 1942.

Although it needs to be noted that the author doesn't give any source for his statement.
