Quotable Quotes...

I will not speak for Yaso, but will offer my own observations.

Anyone who is familiar with history will realize that Hitler represented the true embodiment of evil.

Speeches and words from this individual were not offered as enlightenment for the benefit of mankind, but rather to incite the populous and his troops into a state of extreme hatred toward specific ethnic groups and anyone not of the Aryan race.

The stated goal of Hitler was to conquer the world and eliminate those who did not conform to his standards. His ambitions spurred World War II which resulted in over 60 million people killed.

Even though 67 years have passed since his atrocities and genocide were practiced, we should never forget what this person stood for.  We should never allow that elapsed time to lessen the true hatred projected by his words.

I find no inspiration in his words except to be constantly on guard against such evil.

With that being said, I shall offer my “Quotable Quote”:

"Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it"

-Winston Churchill, (a variation from George Santayana)
