{{blockquote|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.{{r|Cesarani665}}}}
==Subsequent use of the phrase==
The term 'Final Solution', with apparent implied reference to the Holocaust, has been used occasionally since the end of the Second World War. Usage of the term typically attracts considerable controversy. The phrase was reappropriated directly after the war by the newly formed Communist Czechoslovak government, in what they called the "[[Expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia|Final Solution of the German Question]]"—their plan for the mass deportation of Germans from Czechoslovak territory. The terminology may well have been chosen as a vengeful reference to the Nazi treatment of Czechs and Slovaks during the war. More recently, the term 'Final Solution' has been adopted by radical right-wing politicians and commentators to describe potential plans to deport migrants from their countries and/or prevent further immigration.
