Rare Adi Photo 📸

I’m just too excited not to share! A super rare pic of Adi that I have never seen before - This is HitIer departing the Reichswehr Ministry Bendlerblock building in Berlin (Reichswehrministerium) after negotiations with Kurt von Schleicher and Franz von Papen regarding his Reich Chancellorship on 13 August 1932. HitIer had demanded the post of Reich Chancellor, but was only offered the post of Vice Chancellor, which he rejected. His uncompromising resolve paid off, and less than 6 months later he was appointed as Reich Chancellor.

I love her as far as I am capable of it, but the love lies buried to the point of suffocation under fear and self-reproaches.

-Franz Kafka, diary entry of 15 August, 1913.

How suicidal happiness can be!

Dark. Very still. Night. Its livingness I want to feel and quiet.
