Note : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given in the last :
“A man who has no sense of history,” Hitler declared, “is like a man who has no ears or eyes”. He himself claimed to have had a passionate interest in history since his school days and he displayed considerable familiarity with the course of European history. His conversation was studied with historical references and historical parallels. More than that Hitler’s whole cast of thought was historical, and his sense of mission was derived from his sense of history.
Like his contemporary Spengler, Hitler was fascinated by the rise and fall of civilizations. He was himself born at a critical moment in European history when the liberal bourgeois world of the nineteenth century was disintegrating. What would take its place ? The future lay with the ‘Jew-Bolshevik’ ideology of the masses unless Europe could be saved by the Nazi racist ideology of the elite.
