An amazing troubling 1st hand account of Hitler's rise to power.

Similarities today?

On their way to their banks, the US Congress threw Freedom, Justice and Liberty away.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
"
President Ronald Reagan

Never give up on America and those true Americans who understand the cost of freedom.

Great article...

Thanks. I found earlier account posted in another thread. Looked for the most recent version on the web and posted it.

It was not my original find. But I agree with you about how important it is.

The Left has been all over this testimony trying to discredit it.

Consider her testimony and experience as a warning. And yes, the parallels being drawn are alarming, to say the least.

I think the alarm bells have been going off full force for some time. But not everyone understands what the threat really is.

Complacency.

It is not the time for that. We stop this by political force or the consequences are unthinkable. But actions do have consequences.

Totalitarianism didn’t come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria.

So many thing to comment on. But the above statement reminds me of Obamacare.

Not everyone understands what the threat really is, in fact few do understand, because it is always about a Hitler, a mythical figure with horns on his head, sort of a Big Bad Wolf, and never about a, let us say, Juan Peron, just an almost regular lovable guy, like our Dear Leader Soetero. And let me tell you, Adolph was just a lovable guy then. No horns on his head.

“Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.

That plebiscite was about as free as the elections held in the old Soviet bloc.

“It seemed strange to me that our society changed so suddenly.”

How long has it taken here? Suddenly or not, it’s horrifying.

The press is now largely “owned” by the Left.

Even an apparent “free” election is no longer free.

That gave me chills. And only 5 years? That is NOT a very long time.

"The Left has been all over this testimony trying to discredit it."

I checked to see if SNOPES labeled it false yet? They can't bring themselves to state it is true so they labeled it "undetermined" . I guess that allows liberals to say, it's a myth, rumor or urban legend.

I searched her name and found this gem at the Daily Kos: “Nazism has not become the epitome of evil because Hitler promoted equality of women, universal health care or secular public education. He will forever be equated with evil because of a remorseless hatred that was divorced from reality. Our country has been immune to such excesses because with all of our disagreements about policy, we have preserved a common set of values, along with mutual respect for those whom we disagree with.

It’s sad that Kitty Werthmann who lived through the efflorescence of hatred that destroyed her country along with much of the world has learned the wrong lessen, and has made a career of fostering the very distortions that contributed to such a calamity.”

So, according to the left everything else Hitler did was great except for one little thing. I don’t kmow how many times I’ve had to explain to liberals that Hitler was a socialist, not “right winger” as defined in U.S.

I think the point of no return is fast approaching. With the constant assaults on the Constitution, and the American way of life in general. My Great grandparents emigrated here from Russia, to escape the bolsheviks. I heard the stories from them. I won't let what happen there, happen here. These commie wanna-be’s don't have the slightest clue of what they're up against if they decide to initiate a socialist-communist takeover.
