Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Book Preview: #1 The human mind is susceptible to political coercion. In 1933, the German Reichstag building was burned to the ground, and the Nazis arrested a Dutchman, Marinus Van der Lubbe, and accused him of the crime. Van der Lubbe was known by Dutch psychiatrists to be mentally unstable.
#2 The trial of van der Lubbe showed the world the danger of systematized mental coercion in politics. The world began to realize that the Bolsheviks had turned their old comrades into puppets, and that they were being systematically changed into sheep.
#3 During the Second World War, the Nazis forced confessions out of prisoners, and those who were resistant or did not comply were subject to further torture. We learned from this experience, and decided that it was better not to be in touch with one another, in order to avoid being betrayed.
#4 The Nazis used a variety of psychological strategies to break their prisoners, from torture to playing the coward, to confessing too much. I had to flee Holland after a policeman warned me that my name had been mentioned in an interrogation.
