The idea, "There are no such thing as bodies that live forever" was projected into the Jew. Killing Jews was a struggle to kill the source of death: that force within bodies that negates the idea that bodies live forever. The Final Solution was an effort to kill death.

Hitler's desire was to fuse the German people into a single “melting pot:” uniting them as if to create a single, omnipotent body politic. The word "fuse" means to unite together by smelting or welding.

Hitler's deepest wish was to destroy the idea of separateness: Germans would abandon their individuality or individual selves to come to together to create a single, gigantic, powerful body.

The gas chambers show the other side of the coin of people melting together.  In this instance, fusion means loss of individuality, degradation and death. Jews in the gas chambers convey the other-side-of-the coin of people bound closely together.

Whereas the Nuremberg rallies represented a demonstration of the power and glory of "unity," the death camps reveal bodily closeness as destruction of individuality and death. Many bodies fused together as if a single mass of flesh.

The relationship between an individual and one's nation may be described as the creation of a “selfobject:” human being and nation united as constituting a single entity. In  nationalism, one's own body and the body politic fuse into one. 

Nations are conceived as immortal objects: entities that "live on" even while individuals die. A "nation" is the idea of the self--plus an immortal object fused into one.

For Hitler, the German nation was an immortal object. Attachment to the Germany constituted a denial of death. The immortal object, Germany, was more important than individual Germans. "The individual must die so the nation might live."

Hitler insisted that the German body politic had to be different every other body: it could not contain a death instinct. Each and every organism is doomed to die. Hitler aspired to create a different kind of organims: one that could live forever. In order to create an organism that could live forever, Hitler had to forge a German nation that did not contain defect or disease.

The Nazis projected the idea of weakness, defect, disease and death...into “others.” Jews crystallized that which leads to death. Jews symbolized the death instinct, what would cause the German nation to become like every other living creature. Jews represented what would lead to the death of Grmsny.

Killing Jews, therefore, was killing death, the force within the German body politic that would cause its death. The Final Solution was a desperate struggle to destroy death, that is, the source of death,  Jews.

In Hitler's mind, if every single Jew was killed, then there would no longer be a disease or death within within the German body politic--and Germany could live forever.

Hitler's realization that all bodies die was projected into the Jew, who consequently was conceived and perceived as a “force of disintegration” (the metaphor that appeared most frequently in Hitler's speeches) within the German body politic. Hitler repressed his knowledge of the reality of death and externalized the idea of death into the Jew.

The idea, "There are no such thing as immortal bodies...bodies that live forever," was projected into the Jew. Killing Jews was a struggle to kill death, that is, to kill the cause or source of death: that force within bodies that negates the idea that a body can live forever. The Final Solution was an effort to kill death: killing that force within bodies that prevents them from being immortal.

Nationalism was the fundamental ideology shaping the Twentieth Century. "Nations" were objects that structured the history of the Twentieth Century. Each nation constituted its own immortality fantasy. The history of the Twentieth Century grew out competition between omnipotent bodies politic, each containing its own principle of immortality.

Nazism reveals this dream of nations as immortal entities and conveys the destructiveness of this fantasy.  Creating the Final Solution, Hitler  enacted the fantasy of the nation as a body that could be “immortal” if only destructive forces—national enemies—could be removed from within. the national body. The Final Solution represented a collective fantasy of “saving the nation:” killing the disease lying within the nation; killing the Jew; killing the death instinct; killing what prevented Germany from living forever.
