Mein Kampf Quotes
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?”
