This story is about Jim’s upbringing, his escape to Indiana and his eventual attempted return to Tennessee, recounted by a pastor named Thomas Addington. Jim found both friend and foe on his journey but yearned to bring his family into the freedom he had experienced. Jim Baker’s story is a reminder that we must both love God and ...

Kein Zweifel, Adolf Hitler war ein verbohrter Ideologe, dessen politisches Handeln von Rassismus und extremem Judenhass geprägt war. Zugleich aber konnte der faschistische Diktator durchaus anpassungsfähig sein und realpolitisch handeln. Tatsächlich handelte der Versager aus Österreich oft strategisch. Er kopierte das faschistische System seines Vorbildes Benito Mussolini in entscheidenden Punkten, bevor er es freilich zu einem totalitären Faschismus ausbaute und das Dritte Reich in den Holocaust und den Zweiten Weltkrieg führte.
