"Don't Let Freedom Slip Away"

An eyewitness account of what Hope and Change wrought in Austria during World War II.

Totalitarianism didn't come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria. Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were broom handles. The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that the state, little by little eroded our freedom.

As they say, read the whole thing.
