Best Answer

The Nazis wanted to exterminate (kill, destroy, completely eradicate) the Jews as a people. Eichmann and others involved in the planning made a point of stressing that the SS had to kill all Jews. He said there was no point in killing adult Jews if the children stayed alive, became adults and in due course produced children.
