Once you've done the mental work, there comes a point you have to throw yourself into the action and put your heart on the line. That means not only being brave, but being compassionate towards yourself, your teammates and your opponents. Philip Douglas "Phil" Jackson		Tuesday Jun 23, 2026

Selected Quote
I would not like it if Germans did such a thing gladly. But the conscience was in no way impaired, for they were soldiers who had to carry out every order unconditionally. I alone had responsibility before God and Hitler for everything that was happening, and I was acting from a deep understanding of the necessity for this operation. Heinrich Himmler

My honor is my loyalty.

I know there are many people in Germany who feel sick at the very sight of this black (SS) uniform. We understand this and we do not expect to be loved. All those who have Germany at heart, will and should respect us. All those who in some way or at some time have a bad conscience in respect to the Führer and the nation should fear us. For these people we have constructed an organization called the SD (SS security service) and in the same way, the Gestapo (secret state police).

Unconditional and highest freedom of will, comes from obedience, from service to our Weltanschauung (world view), obedience which is prepared to render each and every sacrifice to pride, to external honor and to all which is dear to us personally, obedience which never falters but unconditionally follows every order which comes from the Führer or legally from superiors.

The Führer has ordered the final solution of the Jewish question, We, the SS, have to carry out this order. I have therefore chosen Auschwitz for this purpose.

We had the moral right, we had the duty to our people, to destroy this people which wanted to destroy us. Altogether, however, we can say that we have fulfilled this most difficult duty for the love of our people. And our spirit, our soul, our character has not suffered injury from it.

I would not like it if Germans did such a thing gladly. But the conscience was in no way impaired, for they were soldiers who had to carry out every order unconditionally. I alone had responsibility before God and Hitler for everything that was happening, and I was acting from a deep understanding of the necessity for this operation.
