[=noun] Dr Jekelius. Alleg[ed] Son
of Molotov. Jew Transport from Berlin. No
Liquidation." Comments:
Molotov had no son; Dr. Jakelius was a Viennese
neurologist involved in the Euthanasia program; and the
consignment of 1,000 Jews from Berlin had that morning
arrived at Riga and had already been liquidated by the
local SS commander by the time that Himmler scribbled
down Hitler's injunction. See David Irving,
Goebbels.
