Quotations
"[Nazi] Social policy has been given a clearly defined task. . . [T]o achieve the ends which are fixed for the nation by National Socialism: developing the resources of the nation in line with totalitarian population and manpower policy; it does not recognize the humanitarian ideal of the preservation of human values nor the integrity of each individual being." ("Social Services in Nazi Germany." Cornell Law School, p. 4, 1944; photo sbk-koeln.de)
