Hitler

The infamous Hitler and the Nazis were a subject of topic for this reading, and the minute I read Hitler I thought back to something I learned back in my English 103 class before I came to Notre Dame de Namur. We weren't really learning about Hitler or anything, but we started analyzing a work that analyzed why Hitler was able to do what he did for as long as he did without the outside world really realizing what was going on.
We, as human beings, have certain beliefs about what could go on in the world. There's only so much violence that we could think up. And it's usually violence that we've seen occur before. We all know there's murder. genocides. rapes. assaults. robbery. All kinds of those things we kind of learn on the way and we see it happen on the news. Something we've never really heard of before Hitler, was the encampment of a certain group of people by other people who thought they were superior and needed to do this to make the world a better place. I mean, there was always racism and slavery and we all know about that, but this took that idea to a whole new level. One that I don't think we could fathom without someone previously doing it. So, even if someone told us that this was happening in another place, we wouldn't believe them because, who does that? What kind of monster would do that? And how could he get away with it! It would be crazy! But, that's exactly how Hitler got away with it. He did the unimaginable, and people could not bring it to the forefronts of their minds.
So, who knows what the lesson here could be.  I guess expect the unexpected. Imagine the unimaginable. Believe the unbelievable. It's all out there. Someone will think of it. And you've got to be prepared for it.
