Hitler, Sacrificed, Seemed Authentic, Madeleine K. Albright

“Hitler lied shamelessly about himself and about his enemies. He convinced millions of men and women that he cared for them deeply when, in fact, he would have willingly sacrificed them all.

They screamed, “Sieg Heil” with happiness in their hearts, because they thought they were creating a better world.” ― Madeleine K. Albright, Fascism: A Warning
