Even if you're a holocaust denier, can you at least admit that Germany's leader predicting the annihilation of the Jewish Race in Europe is a bit of a problem?

Looking at the video now, the word he uses here is actually "Vernichtung" (to bring to nothing), but it has essentially the same meaning. He goes on to explain:

I believe the earlier this problem is resolved, the better. For Europe cannot find peace before it has dealt properly with the Jewish question.

It is possible that the necessity of resolving this problem sooner or later should bring about agreement in Europe, even between nations which otherwise might not have reconciled themselves as readily with one another. There is more than enough room for settlement on this earth. All we need to do is put an end to the prevailing assumption that the Dear Lord chose the Jewish people to be the beneficiaries of a certain percentage of the productive capacities of other peoples’ bodies and their labors. Either the Jews will have to adjust to constructive, respectable activities, such as other people are already engaged in, or, sooner or later, they will succumb to a crisis of yet inconceivable proportions.

In context it's clear that "Ausrottung" should be translated as "uprooting" i.e. removal, deportation.

OK, and that's not a bit of a problem?

Ultimately it seems like the best option for all parties involved. The term "the final solution" originates with Theodor Herzl, and his hope was that once the Jews had their own state, they would learn to become a self-sufficient, upstanding, decent nation. He understood that parasitism was not sustainable - that as a nepotistic, paranoid, status-climbing minority, the Jews will inevitably wear out their welcome among any host population. And Hitler agreed. Zionism has no greater hero than Adolf Hitler. A little gratitude would be nice.
