Nazi Officer's Wife

I have been reading a book called "The Nazi Officer's Wife: How one Jewish woman survived the Holocaust." It is really interesting to read the things that Edith Hahn Beer has to say about her life during the World War 2 era. There is a part in the book that I really found interesting. It was 1933, Edith and some of her friends were having a political discussion about whether to fear Hilter and his ideas. She made the comment, "I have read Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" and also some works by his colleague Herr Alfred Rosenberg because I am a fair-minded, objective person and I believe one should always hear out all sides before making a decision, and so I can tell you from firsthand knowledge that these men are idiots. Their ideas about how to Jews have poisoned their so-called superior Aryan race and caused all of Germany's troubles are utter nonsense. No intelligent person could possibly believe them. Hitler is laughable. He will soon disappear."
