Zensur: Die jüngere Schwester der Inquisition - #1508

'Der Mythus des 20. Jahrhunderts' von Alfred Rosenberg ist eine zentrale ideologische Schrift des Nationalsozialismus. Rosenberg entwirft eine rassistische Weltanschauung, in der die arische Rasse als überlegen dargestellt wird. Er propagiert den Antisemitismus und lehnt christliche Werte zugunsten einer germanischen Mythologie ab. Das Buch glorifiziert den Nationalismus und fordert die Expansion Deutschlands. Es diente als eine der Grundlagen für die NS-Ideologie und die Verbrechen des Dritten Reiches. Rosenbergs Werk trug maßgeblich zur Verbreitung von Hass und zur Rechtfertigung des Holocaust bei.

In 'Über die Freiheit', John Stuart Mill discusses the historical struggle between authority and liberty, emphasizing the importance of individuality and the protection of individual rights. He argues that the only legitimate reason for state intervention is to prevent harm to others. The essay is divided into chapters that address the freedom of thought and discussion, the liberty of tastes and pursuits, and the limits to the authority of society over the individual. Mill's work is a cornerstone of liberal philosophy, advocating for the sovereignty of the individual over their own body and mind.

Mein Kampf, written by Adolf Hitler while he was imprisoned following the failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, is a two-volume work that combines autobiography and political treatise. The book details Hitler's early life, his experiences during World War I, and his increasing antisemitism and militarism. It outlines his vision for Germany, including the need for Lebensraum (living space) in Eastern Europe, and his racist and anti-Semitic views. The work became the central text of National Socialism and a blueprint for Hitler's policies, including aggressive foreign policy and the persecution of Jews and other minority groups.
