by Hourly History

By November 1923, the value of the mark against the U.S. dollar was 4,210,500,000,000 to 1.

Whoa, what a financial crisis...

“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.” —Adolf Hitler

when asked what should be done with the Jews of Russia, Hitler responded, “exterminate them as partisans.” Historians note this remark is the closest to a definitive order from Hitler regarding the genocide carried out during the Holocaust.

Holy cow...

In an effort to ensure justice for the victims of these atrocities, surviving Nazis who escaped when the war ended have been hunted down and prosecuted for their crimes. Many are still hunted to this day.

Perhaps the sentiment was best expressed by noted Holocaust survivor turned Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal: “For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing.”

Humanity may not always be able to predict who among us will become a monster or why, but after witnessing the atrocities committed by Adolf Hitler, perhaps the resolve to prevent such horrors in the future has been strengthened.
