« Hitler made known to the world, through his behaviour, how his father-in-law had treated him as a child: with a destructive barbarity, mercilessly, as an insensitive despot, full of pride, boastful, perverse, narcissistic, which is stupid. By imitating him unconsciously, the son remained faithful to him. `...` The unscrupulous tyrant asserts his authority over the repressed fears of the beaten former children who have never been able to accuse their father, still cannot, and, despite the tortures he has inflicted on them, remain faithful to him. `...` The more enormous the crimes of a tyrant, the more he can apparently count on broad tolerance, as long as, among his admirers, access to the sufferings of their own childhood remains hermetically locked. »

« Not having memories of your childhood is like being condemned to carry around a crate that you don't know about. And the older you get, the heavier it looks to you, and the more eager you get to finally open this thing. Jurek Becker »
