The Reverend shares what her friend, who grew up during the time of Nazi Germany, told her.
‘.. what I see going on in the world now and in the United States, it reminds me of my childhood in Austria and in that time, it was the Jews that were being maligned. Now it’s the Muslims.’
The Reverend continues: ‘The right hand man of Hitler, a Nazi in the Nuremberg trials, he said.. the people do not want war, that’s a given, but the people can be brought to the bidding of their leaders. It works the same in all countries. All you have to do is convince the people they are under attack, make them afraid, condemn the pacifists for being unpatriotic and the people will come to the bidding of their leaders.’
‘We are in the midst of such a time. People are afraid of they don’t understand. I implore you, do not fall for this ruse.’
