This year, Easter coincides with the birthday of a man who, in the historic sense, must be called “great.” Eighty years after his death in 1945, Adolf Hitler’s legacy continues to define the post-war global order, through his words, deeds, and the radically varying ways in which they are remembered and interpreted.
Eighty years is both a short and a long time. It is a short time in the history of a civilization. But as the past decades have shown, it is plenty of time for fundamental changes to take place - political, ideological, demographic, social, spiritual – changes which define who we are collectively and individually in every possible sense, and which are not easily revocable. Our civilization now is fundamentally different, and with each turn of the sun, our course becomes further set, and the price of changing it increases.
If you look at the world around you and find that you agree with the direction it is headed, then this is good news. Otherwise, it is not.
No free people can survive which loses its memory and an accurate picture of the past. Our self-identified enemies know this well – we live in an age of censorship, intimidation, and obfuscation. This is why Antelope Hill Publishing does what we do: because if we and others like us did not, records of no more than eighty years ago would disappear – or be snuffed out. Whatever heroes and villains, glory and sins lie in our past, they are ours, and must be heard in their own words, and judged by us alone. Once our memory is lost, it is lost forever.
We at AHP believe with all our hearts that if our people know the truth, then it will set us free.
Happy 4/20!
