Do you understand how scary this picture is

god forbid a real person do real person things he wasnt just a robot who killed people jesus fucking christ

uh yeah its not like he killed and tortured six million jews or anything

Hold on just a tick. Listen, I’m Jewish, so I’m perfectly capable of understanding that what he did was just…..well, there are no words for it. But let’s not round it up to simply Jews that got killed. It was six million people that died in those camps, not just Jews. Did you know that homosexuals were sent there, too? Yeah, I’m sure you did. They had to wear special little symbols on their clothes. Do you know what it was? It was a pink triangle.
It was six million PEOPLE.
But you let that roll over in your mind for a while and you are going to forever see this man as a monster, but that’s not what he was. He was someone who thought he was truly doing something right for his nation, no matter how shitty he was doing it. Believe me when I say that I don’t like him. I really don’t. My grandfather’s brothers died in those camps, and my grandfather escaped to Spain, then to Mexico. He was lucky.
This is not a monster holding hands with a little girl.
This is Adolf Hitler, a man, holding hands with a little girl.
Yeah. It’s fucking scary. It really is. Do you know why?
It’s because you’re seeing that he wasn’t, in fact, a monster. You’re seeing in this picture that he was a man. He was a man, and that’s really the saddest part of it all.

As a History major who specializes in the history of early modern Europe, I’ve studied a lot of dictators in detail, not just Hitler. The number one mistake anyone could ever make in history is making the assumption that only inhuman monsters are capable of doing terrible things. Stop dehumanizing Hitler just so you can reassure yourself that “normal” humans aren’t capable of doing bad things. Hitler liked children and dogs, he was a vegetarian and he cried like a little boy when his mother died. I’m not saying he was a good, innocent person, but when you stop attributing human characteristics to historical figures like Hitler, it’s how you overlook people just like him in real life, and it’s how people like him end up back in power.

That’s the real truth: Human Beings are scarier than any ‘monsters’ out there because we’re all born blank slates and BECOME our legacy.

This is the best post I’ve seen in a while.

this is amazing!

The entire post is bullshit.
It’s not scary at all.
BUT HITLER WAS NOT A NORMAL FUCKING PERSON AND HIS CIRCUMSTANCES WERE NO MORE EXTRAORDINARY THAN MANY MANY MANY OTHERS. The Edelweiss Pirates and White Rose Group were (not quite so) poor innocent children but they didn’t kill law-abiding people and become hypocrites by causing further poverty on a massive scale.
I think people overlook the fact that it wasn’t just a quick killing. It was not painless. Dr Mengela particularly was employed by the Nazis to torture people (twins for example) with surgical experiments.
The Nazis put people in rooms with opposite colour stripes on the wall until it crippled their perceptual abilities.
yes bravo lauriejuspeczyk we become our legacy by choosing our actions. We are genetically so similar. Many poor people have refrained from heading the persecution of millions of people. THEREFORE HITLER BECAME HIS LEGACY BY FUCKING CHOOSING TO MAKE OTHERS SUFFER.
Going back to the opening, it is not scary at all. But it is certainly a surprise that a usually inanimate creature (because he fucking was, he felt precious little about the suffering he caused, which is inexcusable although he suffered with the Treaty of Versailles, Wall Street Crash etc) would so readily bother to occupy a child. And a surprise that he could appear desirable (because he generally wasn’t) to this child who wouldn’t feel so much pressure to comply with him, as she’s so young.
I believe that some who support this post are not very very forgiving open-minded progressive conscientious individuals, but airy fairy rebellious attention-seeking pop-psychologist hipsters.
