What if
What if Hitler had won the war?
Don't you ever ask yourself that?
I mean, doesn't it scare you, don't you tremble every time that you imagine what could have been?
Try to close your eyes and just imagine, try to see a world where Hitler won. A world where all is left of the jews is their ashes, a world where imperfections are not accepted and you need to be perfect in order to survive, a world where love is not that awesome feeling but just a way to reproduce and to help the growth of the great Reich; a world where if you're not useful to the society you're a 'useless eater", a world where you're constantly afraid, a world where you can't trust anyone because everyone could be your enemy.
A world of fear.
And, worst of all, you believe in all this. You truly believe in your heart that killing disable kids is an act of mercy, that jews are worse than animals, that the Aryan race is superior to any other race, that every disturbing, awful, disgusting act ordered by Hitler was for the good and honor of the Reich. You would really believe that because is what they taught you since you were a wee kid.
Maybe I'm out of my mind, or maybe not, but I'm not the only one who asks herself that. There are so many writers that have imagined a world where Hitler and the Reich had won the world. Fatherland and The man in the high castle (which later on became a TV serie) are only 2 of the many books that have been written about this.
Some say: "The world was better when Hitler and Mussolini were in charge"
but do you truly believe that? Would you really like going back to a world where freedom was merely a dream, women were only as worthy as many MALE kids they managed to give birth to and where your loyalty had to lie exclusively with the Führer?
I once read a quote, on a wall in a concentration camp in Germany; a quote that sums up my hopes pretty well:
"May we never forget what it means to be human."
