"Heydrich […] had been given central authority over the implementation of the Final Solution, without any territorial limitations, hence Eichmann, his chief deputy in this field, was everywhere equally responsible. This was quite true for the framework of the Final Solution, but although Heydrich, for purposes of coordination, had called a representative of Hans Frank's General Government […] to the Wannsee Conference, the Final Solution did not really apply to the Eastern occupied territories, for the simple reason that the fate of the Jews there had never been in the balance […] The measures against Eastern Jews were not only the result of anti-Semitism, they were part of a parcel of an all-embracing 'demographic' policy, in the course of which, had the Germans won the war, the Poles would have suffered the same fate as the Jews—genocide."
