Want to Read $ 9.99"For me, in the ashes, it’s not enough to describe what happened, but to focus unforgivingly on what actually happened, to provide a road map, a game plan for how hell happens, not just in Nazi Germany, but in Stalin’s Russia too. Not surprisingly, since this is a new phenomenon, there is no word to describe it. So I have to make one up. The new force unleashed on the world is...Totalitarianism. As fire lives on oxygen, the oxygen of totalitarianism is untruth. Before totalitarian leaders can fit reality to their lies, their message is an unrelenting contempt for facts. They live by the belief that fact depends entirely on the power of the man who makes it up."-Ken Krimstein, The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt: A Tyranny of Truth
