A historic look at how conspiracies poison democracy, as detailed in Richard J. Evans book, “The Hitler Conspiracies: The Third Reich and the Paranoid Imagination”
I've read every one of Evans's books. I've read Arendt's Origins of Totalitarianism and Eichmann in Jerusalem. I rear The Destruction of the European Jews. I read Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. I read Who Voted for Hitler. I read They Thought They Were Free. As I read these books I knew that I'd already learned what facts they contained yet I couldn't stop reading until the books ended, not because I thought there was one more thing in any of them that would logically explain why it all happened. But there is no sane logic to any of it. Hate and evil are the mirror of love and goodness and they will never be erased from human life because we're human. What I realized is that I was looking for an answer that doesn't exist
