Hitler’s Control of the Masses:
“The great masses of the people will
more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.”
“If you tell a big enough lie and
tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”
“Make the lie big, make it simple,
keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”
“By the skillful and sustained use
of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely
wretched life as paradise.”
About the Jewish Citizens:
“The personification of the devil
as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew.”
“The Jew has always been a people
with definite racial characteristics and never a religion.”
“Conscience is a Jewish invention.”
About Dictatorship:
“Sooner will a camel pass through
a needle's eye than a great man be 'discovered' by an election.”
About Religion:
“Hence today 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.”
About America:
“I don't see much future for the
Americans ... it's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem,
and the problem of social inequalities ... my feelings against Americanism
are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance ... everything about the
behavior of American society reveals that it's half Judaised, and the
other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?”
