  • Candles are set as evening falls,Small flames against the dark.Their quiet labor ancient still—To testify, to leave a mark. Outside, the city holds its breath,A southern sky, the harbor still.Where sudden terror cut the dayAgainst the human will to live.

  • Goebbels Declaration of Hate

    Goebbels was more than a Nazi. He was pure evil, and he dedicated all his life and, indeed, death to Adolf Hitler.
