was a newsletter written by a very anti-Semitic writer named
Lanz. The newsletters were actually a series of pamphlets
written over the course of three years. Hitler frequently
bought the pamphlets, which described history as a constant

describes all of his ideas about the "Final Solution" to get rid
of all the Jews in Germany, and then on to all the Jews in the
World. He also talks about the perfect race of Aryans,
