Episode 3 - Dictators - Part One - Hitler
The two dictators share a profound estrangement from the European political and legal tradition, the very foundation of democracy as a system of governance. Both Hitler and Stalin believe that the rights they claim for their own people need not be extended to others. Crude and devoid of moral scruples, indifferent to the human cost of their actions, the two men are strikingly alike. Yet, they are not identical. While the outcomes of their regimes—terror and extermination—are comparable, their personalities and methods differ.
The pages devoted to these dictators resonate with Imre Kertész’s reflections in his essay The Immortality of the Concentration Camps. Kertész compares Nazism and Bolshevism, identifying them as “the two murderous political movements of the twentieth century.” He highlights their differences—not in the fatal consequences of their actions, which are equally catastrophic, but in their underlying nature.
Readings from Ferdinanda Cremascoli's illustrated eBook.
You can read the book for free on amazon or buy your copy.
