Frank Frison, Holocaust survivor:
"If fascism could be defeated in debate, I
assure you that it would never have happened, neither in Germany, nor in
Italy, nor anywhere else. Those who recognised its threat at the time and
tried to stop it were, I assume, also called "a mob". Regrettably too many
"fair-minded" people didn't either try, or want to stop it, and, as I
witnessed myself during the war, accommodated themselves when it took
over. People who witnessed fascism at its height are dying out, but the
ideology is still here, and its apologists are working hard at a comeback.
Past experience should teach us that fascism must be stopped before it
takes hold again of too many minds, and becomes useful once again to
some powerful interests."
Adolf Hitler:
"Only one thing could have stopped our movement - if our
adversaries had understood its principle and from the first day smashed
with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement."
