"What does Christianity mean today? National Socialism is a religion. All we lack is a religious genius capable of uprooting outmoded religious practices and putting new ones in their place. We lack traditions and ritual. One day soon National Socialism will be the religion of all Germans. My Party is my church, and I believe I serve the Lord best if I do his will, and liberate my oppressed people from the fetters of slavery. That is my gospel."
—Joseph Goebbels, in his diary, October 16 1928

Quotes about Nazi Germany
|
"Where is my guilt? I can regret. I can regret that I made the party film Triumph of the Will in 1934. But I cannot regret that I lived in that time. No anti-Semitic word has ever crossed my lips. I was never anti-Semitic.[1] I did not join the party. So where then is my guilt? You tell me. I have thrown no atomic bombs. I have never betrayed anyone. What am I guilty of?"
—Leni Riefenstahl, The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl (1993)
