Hitler Versus
Democracy
BY RABBI p. ZISSMAN
st. Augustine, Fla.

The democracies of the world
have seen that the dictator, Hitler,
was never satisfied with the ter
ritories he acquired by bluffing.
Chamberlain appeasement poll
cy encouraged Hitler's agrees
siveness until finally the Nazi
leader showed himself in his true
colors, and democracies today
know that the German monster
can no longer be trusted in any
manner whatever.
5itler's early success in raping
smaller nations inflamed him with
a passion for further power-and
this grasping for more rope will
eventually hang the Nazi tyrant.

St. Augustine
OLDEST CITY IN THE UNITED STATES
of the Fountain of Youth and Indian Burial Grounds

Our bible tells us that rich
man is one who is satisfied with
what he has. Thus, a man with
very humble holdings may be
considered rich because of his sat
isfaction. Contrariwise, Hitler's
base emotions have driven the
world into another war because
of his greed and lust for power
power far greater than what Ger
many is alleged to have lost in
the first world war.
