changed his identity?
:34:04
''Let someone else play Hitler,''
l thought,

:34:06
''Give someone else the role!''
:34:11
But the stain of defeat
:34:14
would not fade.
:34:19
And then...
:34:22
it came to me.
:34:25
Slowly at first,
like a--

:34:27
a blossom on tree
in spring.

:34:30
What l could do next.
:34:33
( nervous breathing )
:34:38
An old image--
:34:40
a primal hatred, crystallized.
:34:45
The answer.
:34:48
lt obsessed me
and lifted my spirits.

:34:51
A new plan
for these terrible times.

:34:55
lt was the one thought,
the one idea,

:34:59

:35:08
systematically
:35:10
and completely
:35:13
destroy all the Jews.
:35:19
lf my role as great conqueror
had ended,

:35:26
''The Great Destroyer.''
:35:34
l would be the architect
:35:37
of the greatest catastrophe
:35:40
of all time.
:35:46
That's how l would
be remembered,

:35:48
gain my immortality.
:35:55
Destroy
:35:57
all
:35:59
Jews.
