"In retrospect, what perhaps troubles me most is that my occasional spells of uneasiness during this period were concerned mainly with the direction I was taking as an architect (...) On the other hand I must have had the feeling that it was no affair of mine when I heard the people around me declaring an open season on Jews (...) The ordinary party member was being thaught that grand policy was much too complex for him to judge it. Consequently, one felt one was being represented, never called upon to take personal responibility.
The whole structure of the system was aimed at preventing conflicts of conscience from even arising."
- Albert Speer
