"Hans had swallowed the bait alright, and these were the men who baited the hook. Why? So that Hans could come to power? No, of course not, so they could come to power! They would merely use Hans to help them get there! He would do the "dirty work" for them."
"The Nazi Party will provide land for the farmer, work for the worker, and profits for the small businessman. Who is getting these things now? The Jew... The Jew who has stolen our nation and our birthright! Who makes all the money and takes all our jobs? The Jew!!! He must be shunned, he must be ostracized, he must be eliminated!"
"You who are true Aryan Germans will share the glorious destiny of our Fatherland!!! You are the pure blooded! The master race! It is your divine right to rule, and the Nazi Party stands ready to put you into power! It is for you to command All-Germany, and some day, the entire world!"
"So lets not be suckers. We must not allow the freedom or dignity of any man to be threatened by any act or word. Lets be selfish about it. Lets forget about "we" and "they", lets think about us!"
"There is no "Aryan race" – and more important – there is no "master race."
"In this country we have no "other people", we are American people, all of us."
