Richard Korherrs „Bericht über die Endlösung der europäischen Judenfrage
2019
Overview
The life and career of the statistician Richard Korherr offers a clear illustration of the entanglements of German academics in the Nazi regime. Born in 1903, Korherr started his career as an academic in the relatively new discipline of demography. The Italian dictator Benito Mussolini wrote a preface for Korherr’s book Geburtenrückgang (Declining Birth Rate), with Heinrich Himmler writing another after the Nazis took power in Germany. In 1942, Himmler became his supervisor. Korherr compiled and wrote the first survey of the Shoah, the “Report on the Final Solution of the European Jewish Question”, which later came to be known as the Korherr Report. So far, little is known on how Korherr came to write this expert report and which sources he relied on. This article is based on Korherr’s recently-released personnel files that are held at the Federal Ministry of Finances. In these files, Korherr revealed five sources: data from Jewish and non-Jewish academics, German Church statistics, official statistics from Austria and Germany, data from the Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland (Reich Association of Jews in Germany), and the SS-Reichssicherheitshauptamt (Reich Main Security Office). He might also have got information directly from the concentration camps and death camps, as Adolf Eichmann told the interrogators in Jerusalem. This article evaluates this newly found report and briefly describes Korherr’s career in the fledgling Federal Republic of Germany.
