"An evil exists that threatens every man, woman and child of this great nation, We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland."

(writing about creation of the Gestapo in Nazi Germany)

What good fortune for those in power that people do not think.

The great masses of the people... will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one.

The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.

Instruction in world history in the so-called high schools is even today in a very sorry condition. Few teachers understand that the study of history can never be to learn historical dates and events by heart and recite them by rote; that what matters is not whether the child knows exactly when this battle or that was fought, when a general was born, or even when a monarch (usually a very insignificant one) came into the crown of his forefathers. No, by the living God, this is very unimportant. To 'learn' history means to seek and find the forces which are the causes leading to those effects which we subsequently perceive as historical events.

(Mein Kampf)

When an opponent declares, I will not come over to your side, I calmly say, your child belongs to us already.What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.

(From a speech given on November 6, 1933)

The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with her might. And the republic is in danger. Yes! danger from within and without. we need law and order! Without law and order our nation cannot survive.
