Hitlerův vzestup a pád patří k základním dílům hitlerologické literatury a ani za více než třicet let od svého prvního vydání neztratil nic na své aktuálnosti, snad právě naopak. Autor na některé dobře známé skutečnosti nabízí zcela nezvyklé pohledy a zasazuje je do nečekaných souvislostí.
A gdybyście wy byli nadmiarami w świecie legalnych ludzi?Gdybyście nie mieli prawa żyć.Gdybyście byli zamknięci w zakładzie dla nadmiarów i nie znali świata za murami.Gdybyście uwierzyli, że nie macie żadnych praw i możecie tylko służyć innym.A gdyby wtedy zjawił się ktoś, kto opowiedziałby wam o prawdziwym życiu.Gdyby przekonał was, że Ziemia jest dla wszystkich ludzi, a wy nie jesteście nadmiarami, skoro ktoś was kocha i potrzebuje?Czy tak będzie wyglądać świat w przyszłości?
