When Hitler committed suicide, he had sixteen thousand books. Currently, about 1,300 are preserved in the United States, between the Library of Congress and that of Brown University. They are books underlined and with his annotations in the margins of the pages. What does a person's library say about its owner? This is the question that the documentary The Books Hitler Didn't Burn aims to answer, which Channel 33 broadcast on Wednesday night. It's worth recovering it from the 3Cat platform. Produced by German public television and the Arte channel, it delves into Hitler's book collection with Timothy Ryback, the world's leading expert on his library. Hitler was a great reader and knowledgeable about European literature and the history of science. But in no way does the documentary try to investigate his tastes. The documentary asks more ambitious questions: what do these books tell us about the origin of Hitler's murderous ideas? What do they tell us about the current far-right?Hitler preserved publications that Nazism had burned. Also revealed are all the businessmen who gifted the genocidal dictator with books and left the trace of their dedications. From a guide to Berlin written by a Jewish cultural critic to a vegetarian cookbook, passing through a treatise on urban heating systems and a manual on how to improve cigar factories.Hitler has often been considered an ideologue, but the documentary shows how the dictator fed on cultural currents of the time that extended beyond Germany and influenced many other leaders and their immigration laws. The documentary recovers the underlined passages from Peer Gynt, by Henrik Ibsen; Fire and Blood, by Ernst Jünger, or The Passing of the Great Race, by Madison Grant, among other titles. The text is juxtaposed with archival footage of Hitler and Nazism, and the result is very impactful. It is sickening to discover how some of the ideas that emerge from Hitler's library connect with current discourses by Vox or Aliança Catalana. The documentary shows how some of these books are still used by far-right criminals. It also explains the origin of the replacement theory and how Nazism used it.But the documentary is not limited to an exercise in memory: it highlights how current media are repeating the strategy. It delves into books that talk about eugenics, analyzes antisemitic literature with experts, and highlights the texts that Hitler read before launching the genocide. The ideas contained in Hitler's three great libraries, in Berlin, Munich, and his Alpine residence, are still chilling today. The Books Hitler Didn't Burn is not a look at the past but at our present to demonstrate how all his theses were already there before Hitler. And how they still endure.

"Hitler only had one…". Regarding the famous music from the film The Bridge over the River Kwai –a British military march composed in 1914, and which was adapted ad hoc For the David Lean and Alec Guinness film—during World War II and even many decades later, all British children grew up singing an irreverent song mocking the Nazi leader. The title: Hitler has only got one ball (Hitler only has one eggThe full lyrics say: "Hitler only has one testicle / Göring has two, but very small ones / Himmler has something similar / but poor Goebbels has none / Hitler only has one testicle / the other one is in the old Town Hall / his mother stole the other one / and now Hitler has none."

The festivities in Tel Aviv and Sharm al-Sheikh, Trump's triumphant speech before the Knesset and the signing of the peace agreement in a Red Sea resort in the presence of some thirty world leaders, all this euphoria of power, should be read in parallel with realities such as the one Cristina Mas told us in her Sunday report in this newspaper. It explains how the olive groves of the West Bank, the basis for the survival of so many families, have been razed without ceremony: ten thousand olive trees uprooted in forty-eight hours by squads of bulldozers protected by the Israeli army. For Palestinians, olive trees represent the economy, but also the landscape, heritage, culture, memory, identity. This event reminds us of the fiercely colonial nature of a war that is also one of ethnic cleansing. The worst thing about war is the dead, but war is not only the dead. It is many things at the same time, and anyone who wants to believe that hatred for one side or the other will subside, and that the pressure on Palestinians to leave their homes will no longer be wrong. The children of farmers whose olive trees have been taken from them before their helpless eyes, and who have been abandoned to desolation and the elements, do not jump for joy at the passing of official delegations. They will live with the mark of the humiliation inflicted on their parents.

Conservatives believe that order comes first, so that justice and freedom can follow. Without the first, second, and third, order are impossible. Churchill expressed this in the 1930s. The political void and disorder from 1914 to 1918 made war inevitable in 1939.
