5. Without consideration of traditions and prejudices, Germany must find the courage to gather our people and their strength for an advance along the road that will lead this people from its present restricted living space to new land and soil, and hence also free it from the danger of vanishing from the earth or of serving others as a slave nation. The National Socialist Movement must strive to eliminate the disproportion between our population and our area—viewing this latter as a source of food as well as a basis for power politics—between our historical past and the hopelessness of our present impotence. The German borders of 1914 were borders that represented something as unfinished as peoples' borders always are. The division of territory on earth is always the momentary result of a struggle and an evolution that is in no way finished, but that naturally continues to progress. It is dumb to simply take borders from any given year in the history of a people and establish it as a political goal.

The total number of Jews murdered during the Holocaust is estimated at 5.5 to 6 million people

12. Source
“The Nazis hated assimilated and converted Jews as much as they hated orthodox Jews. This was a struggle that was almost zoological, from the animal world. This was a struggle for survival between the human race and this Jewish species that the core group of the Nazis invested with almost a kind of supernatural demonic power, which was absolutely unprecedented.”

13. Propaganda
Propaganda was essential for spreading the idea of sub-humans
Aimed at every aspect of everyday life
Compared undesirable races to animals (Ex. posters and cartoons)

14. Interview To My Grandfather: Antonio Agosta
“When the SS came to town people already knew what was going to happen if people didn’t speak. The morning they arrived with about 10 soldiers, they “gently” asked people to tell them if there were any Jewish or any other Untermensch in the village. If people told them where they were hiding the village would have been safe, otherwise the SS would burn the village without any emotions in their eyes…Once I was talking to a Nazi marshal and I was shocked to see how they were brain-washed by what Hitler said, he told me that they looked at him as god-like figure which for the first time gave dignity to a “raped” country. It was all about honor, without honor the Nazis wouldn’t have existed”
