You and me both, Ben. 🙂 Actually I didn’t read it because I had heard too much from its detractors. But then I talked to a real translator who had the original German of the “note-takers” Heim and Picker, and said the Cameron-Stevens translation compared accurately to those. So what is the problem, I ask? Mostly that some people don’t want Hitler to be saying some things he probably said.
This is fantastic! Table Talk is a fantastic book. Hitler in a very conversational style and much more readable than Mein Kampf, and including a couple of humorous recollections of his past, (like driving over the bicycles of communists). It’s also a window into Hitler’s thinking during the war, which in some ways seems different than the 1920’s Hitler of Mein Kampf, especially as it relates to christianity.
Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity.
-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782
Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787
History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.
-Thomas Jefferson to Alexander von Humboldt, Dec. 6, 1813.

Pretty excited about this. Table Talks is one of those books that I just never got around to reading but always really wanted too.

Thanks Carolyn, I was wondering what you were going to do next on Thursday night. Great topic and book. Then again, you always have great programs.
