Thom Filicia Quotes
Referring to Richard Nixon's campaigning tactics in his first congressional campaign against Jerry Voorhees:
Defending the death penalty for a heinous murderer:
Dr. Moreil was Adolph Hitler's personal physician for most of the Fuhrer's political life. He had a broad practice over the years which included Jewish Patients. He had treated the family of the young Jewish man for years and after 1933 the official anti-Semitism began and by 1938 was a large part of the Nazi perverse logic and political credo. Although Moreil was a member of the Nazi Party, he personally did not have the animus toward Jews that most other Nazis had. However when the young man came in for his checkup in 1938, the doctor was very cold and almost nasty. When his nurse left the room for him to do an examination of his private parts, he give this apology to the young patient whom he had been treating since he was a baby. The patient and his family got out of Germany shortly thereafter to escape the Holocaust and the family emigrated to America, where he relayed this experience to most people interested in Nazi Germany. Dr. Morell was interrogated by the Allied Intelligence officers as he was one of the people very close to Hitler. He had not been active politically nor had he participated in any of the horrible experiments that many German doctors had inflicted upon many in the concentration camps. So there were no war criminal charges filed against Moreil nor was he banned from many activities as the high-ranking Nazis were. The son of the Jewish patient was interviewed on PBS where he gave this account which his father had realayed many times.
