By Micah Halpern
Thursday September 7, 2017 I've Been Thinking: A small town in Germany still has a Hitler Bell. What's a Hitler Bell? A Hitler Bell is a bell inscribed with a swastika and a quote from Hitler. This quote reads: "Everything for the Fatherland" - Adolph Hitler. The small German town is called Herxheim am Berg. The bell is situated in a Protestant Church. It is causing quite a hoopla. The mayor of the town defended the bell. He was so defensive that he even quoted a 95 year old resident who said that the Nazi period also had some "good things." Obviously, most Hitler Bells and other Nazi and Hitler structures were destroyed immediately after World War II. No one can explain why this bell remained. The best answer is that no one thought it necessary to remove it. That, in and of itself, is telling. And as for the mayor, he has since resigned. Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
