<P> Cesarani notes that by 1943, as the military position of the German forces deteriorated, the Nazi leadership became more openly explicit about the Final Solution . In March, Goebbels confided to his diary: "On the Jewish question especially, we are in it so deeply that there is no getting out any longer . And that is a good thing . Experience teaches that a movement and a people who have burned their bridges fight with much greater determination and fewer constraints than those that have a chance of retreat ." </P> <P> When Himmler addressed senior SS personnel and leading members of the regime in the Posen speeches on October 4, 1943, he used "the fate of the Jews as a sort of blood bond to tie the civil and military leadership to the Nazi cause ." </P> <P> Today I am going to refer quite frankly to a very grave chapter . We can mention it now among ourselves quite openly and yet we shall never talk about it in public . I'm referring to the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish people . Most of you will know what it's like to see 100 corpses side by side or 500 corpses or 1,000 of them . To have coped with this and--except for cases of human weakness--to have remained decent, that has made us tough . This is an unwritten--never to be written--and yet glorious page in our history . </P> <P> Journalist Ron Rosenbaum, in his book Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil, found that the phrase "final solution" had been used much earlier . An investigative report by the Münchener Post, a socialist newspaper that was an early opponent of Hitler, found as early as 1931 Nazi Party and SA documents using the phrase as part of a description of plans for what became the Nuremberg Laws and a suggestion that "for the final solution of the Jewish question it is proposed to use the Jews in Germany for slave labor or for cultivation of the German swamps administered by a special SS division". </P>
