Wherever other government agencies are involved, they are to cooperate with you.” This was a turning point in history. All government agencies, all military forces, all branches of the state were to participate in the pursuit of the annihilation of a specific group. GENOCIDE THE PERPETRATORS: Those who took part in the Final Solution 1. CIVIL SERVANTS, LAWYERS, ACCOUNTANTS, BUSINESSMEN AND OTHERS, EACH USING HIS OWN EXPERTISE, DEVELOPED PLANS TO HELP CARRY OUT DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE “FINAL SOLUTION.” THIS INCLUDED DEVISING TECHNIQUES FOR REMOVING, RELOCATING, CONCENTRATING OR GHETTOIZING AND THEN KILLING JEWS.
