Ίσως επειδή, η μητέρα του πέθανε από καρκίνο, ο Αδόλφος Χίτλερ, ανέπτυξε ένα βαθύ ενδιαφέρον για τα σχετιζόμενα με την υγεία θέματα – ιδιαίτερα, όσον αφορά τον καρκίνο.
“Ποτέ μην αμφιβάλλετε ότι μία μικρή ομάδα σκεπτόμενων αφοσιωμένων ανθρώπων, δύναται να αλλάξει τον κόσμο – πράγματι, αυτό είναι το μόνο πράγμα που ανέκαθεν έχει συμβεί.”
—Margaret Mead, πολιτισμική ανθρωπολόγος
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
By Dr. Walter Gross Head of the Reich Bureau for Enlightenment on Population Policy and Racial Welfare
Of all the measures introduced in the new Germany those bearing on National Socialist racial policy caused the greatest stir internationally, for here was a State setting its feet upon paths hitherto almost untrodden and leading through untouched preserves, whose aims were in many respects liable to clash with established Liberal views. Relevant legislation served to corroborate and achieve these aims and it was no wonder, therefore, that – in the beginning at least – this particular phase of National Socialist reconstruction met with universal misunderstanding and prejudice. We are happy meanwhile to be able to discern that other nations have come to realise that Germany is, indeed, taking to new paths, but they are right ones and are necessary and, more than that, Germany is in many respects blazing a trail for others; mention need only be made of our law for the prevention of the transmission of hereditary diseases (Sterilisation Law) which has been followed in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland by similar laws or draft proposals. However, no one will wholly understand or sympathise with our legislation who is not wholly familiar with the fundamental change in the philosophical. conception . of life which has come with National Socialism in the light of history.

Os dirigentes não se propõem, uma vez atingidos os fins anunciados nele, conceber propósitos novos, com o só objetivo de aumentar artificialmente as aspirações das massas e assegurar assim a continuidade da existência do Partido.

At first glance it may seem strange that a poet and writer of fairy-tales has been chosen to write this article on German culture policy, when so wide a choice from among leading politicians was available. Perhaps, however, the selection was symbolic, because creative artists in Germany to-day are concerning themselves, as never before, with the rising and falling fortunes of their fellow-countrymen. Certainly that romantic age which consigned the writer to an isolated garret existence has gone for ever. If only in this respect, we, in Germany, have turned from the romantic period of Europe to the classic, when some of the great creative thinkers were also leading personalities in the State.
“Το χέρι που δίνει, βρίσκεται πάνω από το χέρι που λαμβάνει. Το χρήμα δεν έχει μητέρα πατρίδα, οι χρηματοδότες (οικονομικοί κερδοσκόποι), είναι άνευ πατριωτισμού και άνευ αξιοπρέπειας, ο μοναδικός τους αντικειμενικός σκοπός είναι το κέρδος.”
— Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)
“The hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland, financiers are without patriotism and without decency, their sole object is gain.”
