“Not only did waging war against Hitler fail to save the Jews, it may be that the war itself brought on the Final Solution of genocide. This is not to remove the responsibility from Hitler and the Nazis, but there is much evidence that Germany's anti-Semitic actions, cruel as they were, would not have turned to mass murder were it not for the psychic distortions of war, acting on already distorted minds. Hitler's early aim was forced emigration, not extermination, but the frenzy of it created an atmosphere in which the policy turned to genocide.” MindMayWarActionActingResponsibilityFailingPolicyMassSolutionsEvidenceMurderAimFinalsJewAtmosphereGermanyRemoveGenocideNaziPsychicsDistortionFrenzyExterminationAnti SemiticEmigrationWaging War Book:The Zinn Reader: Writings on Disobedience and Democracy Source: The Zinn Reader: Writings on Disobedience and Democracy

“I don't know when the idea of suicide first occurred to me. In some ways, it had been in the back of my mind for years. Yet, oddly, I would never have thought of it as an option. It was the perceived lack of options-the final, unacceptable solution to a grave and insoluble dilemma. I had always thought of it in the same way: If all else fails, if I have nowhere else to turn, I can do this.” IfsKnowsWayYearsMindFirstsI CanIdeasTurnsChoicesCan DoFailingSolutionsSuicideFinalsGravesSuicidalDilemmaOf My MindI Can Do This Book:The Beast: A Journey Through Depression Source: The Beast: A Journey Through Depression

“The proposed liberal solution was always negotiation.
