So I opened up the book, and began to read. I was searching for something of interest to blog on. I barely made it through the first page when I read a quote from Adolf Hitler's book Mein Kampf:
"[A totalitarian government is] the guardian of a millennial future in the face of which the wishes and the selfishness of the individual must appear as nothing and submit."
I found this quote to be very powerful, and I feel that it truly shows the inner beliefs that Adolf Hitler held so dear. The quote basically says that the individual person has no rights -- that they are merely property of the governing body -- people who will do as they are told, eat what they are given, kill when they are told to kill, and die when they are to die.
Adolf Hitler was appointed to power in January of 1933, 8 years after he wrote Mein Kampf. Did people not know the past history of the man that they put in total control? I think that there was a critical mistake made by the people of Germany when they chose to ignore his book. People merely had to read the book to see his detailed promises of genocide and war:
"The [Nazi party] should not become a constable of public opinion, but must dominate it. It must not become a servant of the masses, but their master!"
"...the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew."
"I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
"Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless."
You do not have to read deeply into the book to feel his hatred of the Jewish people. You do not have to search for long to find that he longs for war. You do not have to deeply study Hitler to see that he was mental. The German people led to their own demise when they willingly put Hitler into power.
