It is not my intention to prove that Hitler was not not a mass murderer by offering pictures of him that present him a more postive manner. It is my contention that the commonly seen images of him have been chosen to make him look negative and evil. It is this negative image of him that leads too many people to believe him capable of mass murder without investigating the historical facts.
The negative, conditioned emotional responses evoked by the typical 'evil' Hitler pictures compromise people's ability to look at the historical record with unbiased eyes. Before people can make a rational appraisal of Hitler in historical terms, they must unlearn the emotionally conditioned responses that have been instilled in them.
The evocative, emotional power of images should not over-ride rational investigation of the facts. It is my belief that that is unfortunately the case today.

The Anti-semites Creed
The jews are a problem--not our ONLY or SOLE problem, not responsible for EVERY problem faced by gentiles, not some ALL-POWERFUL race that we shouldn't bother trying to resist, not an EXCUSE for avoiding responsibility for problems of our own making --but nonetheless, A REAL, SERIOUS PROBLEM.
White gentile responsibility includes recognizing, openly admitting, learning about and DOING SOMETHING about this problem. Anti-semitism does not imply hatred of or a desire to exterminate the jews.
I will stop being anti-semitic when the semites stop being anti-gentilic. Not a day sooner.--Burrhus
The Racist Creed
Racism is the belief that it is in the best interest of every individual to accord altruism and trust to others based on genetic relatedness. The degree of relatedness that determines each individual's sense of his race is a personal decision.
As a racist I care more about the welfare and survival of members of my race than I do for that of those in other races. That does not however imply that I hate other races, believe my race to be absolutely superior nor that I wish to abuse or harm those other races.
