On the Aryan Race...
"All the human culture, all the results of art, science, and technology . . . are almost exclusively the creative product of the Aryan. . . . He is the Prometheus of mankind from whose bright forehead the divine spark of genius has sprung at all times, forever kindling anew the fire of knowledge which illumined the night of silent mysteries and thus caused man to climb the path to mastery over the other beings of this earth." -Mein Kampf

"The mightiest counterpart to the Aryan is represented by the Jew. In hardly any people in the world is the instinct of self-preservation developed more strongly than in the so-called 'chosen'. . . . " -Mein Kampf
|
"[History] shows with terrifying clarity that in every mingling of the Aryan blood with that of lower peoples the result was the end of the cultured people. . . ." -Mein Kampf

On Women...
On Jews...
"...the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew." -Mein Kampf
|
"If international finance Jewry...should succeed once more in plunging the peoples into a world war, then the consequence will be...the destruction of the Jewish race in Europe." -Mein Kampf
|
"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: 'by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.'" -Mein Kampf

It was considered proper to own a copy of Mein Kampf and to give one to newlyweds, high school graduates, or to celebrate any similar occasion. The beliefs stated by Hitler in it dominated the views of the Nazi party and fueled his decisions as leader of Germany. After World War II, the publication of Mein Kampf became illegal in Germany.
