Background
The antisemitic regime in Nazi Germany intended to achieve a permanent solution to what they regarded as the "Jewish question". They developed the "Final solution", the near complete extermination of the European Jews in the Holocaust. Before the "Final solution" was agreed on during the Wannsee Conference in 1942, some Nazis had envisioned a territorial solution of the "Jewish question". Except for the Nisko Plan, none of the territorial solutions progressed beyond the planning stage.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
