Hitler, Nazism, the Holocaust, Holocaust Denial, Anti-Semitism, & Neo-Nazism

Hitler, Nazism, the Holocaust, 
Holocaust Denial, Anti-Semitism, and Neo-Nazism

Frank has written that ". . .HPB is regarded 
by some people as a forerunner of Hitler...."

Unfortunately, Frank does NOT explain 
how and why these people would come to
such a conclusion. Furthermore, Frank 
does NOT tell us whether he is of the
same opinion, i.e., HPB was a forerunner 
of Hitler.

As far as I can tell, HPB and Hitler are 
at opposite ends of the spectrum!

What pray tell does Hitler have to do 
with HPB, the Mahatmas and Theosophy?

Personally, I regard Hitler as a FIEND. The dictionary defines a 
fiend as "a devil; a demon; a person of great 
wickedness or maliciousness."

See HPB's article titled KARMIC VISIONS
http://www.blavatsky.net/blavatsky/arts/KarmicVisions.htm
where she writes:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
A hideous dream detaches itself from a group of 
passing visions, and alights heavily on his aching chest. The night-
mare shows him men, expiring on the
battle field with a curse on those who led them to their 
destruction. Every pang
in his own wasting body brings to him in dream the recollection of 
pangs still
worse, of pangs suffered through and for him. He sees and feels the 
torture of
the fallen millions, who die after long hours of terrible mental and 
physical
agony; who expire in forest and plain, in stagnant ditches by the 
road-side, in
pools of blood under a sky made black with smoke. His eyes are once 
more
rivetted to the torrents of blood, every drop of which represents a 
tear of
despair, a heart-rent cry, a life-long sorrow. He hears again the 
thrilling
sighs of desolation, and the shrill cries ringing through mount, 
forest and
valley. He sees the old mothers who have lost the light of their 
souls;
families, the hand that fed them. He beholds widowed young wives 
thrown on
the wide, cold world, and beggared orphans wailing in the streets by 
the
thousands. He finds the young daughters of his bravest old soldiers 
exchanging
their mourning garments for the gaudy frippery of prostitution, and 
the Soul-Ego
shudders in the sleeping Form. . . . His heart is rent by the groans 
of the
famished; his eyes blinded by the smoke of burning hamlets, of homes 
destroyed,
of towns and cities in smouldering ruins. . . .

"What have they brought thee or to thy fatherland, those bloody 
victories!"
whispers the Soul in him. "A population clad in iron armour," it 
replies. "Two
score millions of men dead now to all spiritual aspiration and Soul-
life. A
people, henceforth deaf to the peaceful voice of the honest 
citizen's duty,
averse to a life of peace, blind to the arts and literature, 
indifferent to all
but lucre and ambition. What is thy future Kingdom, now? A legion of 
war-puppets
as units, a great wild beast in their collectivity. A beast that, 
like the sea
yonder, slumbers gloomily now, but to fall with the more fury on the 
first enemy
that is indicated to it. Indicated, by whom? It is as though a 
heartless, proud
Fiend, assuming sudden authority, incarnate Ambition and Power, had 
clutched
with iron hand the minds of a whole country. By what wicked 
enchantment has he
brought the people back to those primeval days of the nation when 
their
ancestors, the yellow-haired Suevi, and the treacherous Franks
roamed about in their warlike spirit, thirsting to kill, to decimate 
and
subject each other? By what infernal powers has this been 
accomplished? Yet the
transformation has been produced and it is as undeniable as the fact 
that alone
the Fiend rejoices and boasts of the transformation effected. The 
whole world is
hushed in breathless expectation. Not a wife or mother, but is 
haunted in her
dreams by the black and ominous storm-cloud that overhangs the whole 
of Europe.
The cloud is approaching. . . . . .It comes nearer and nearer Oh woe 
and horror!
I foresee once more for earth the suffering I have already 
witnessed. I read the
fatal destiny upon the brow of the flower of Europe's youth. . . .
