Google Play, the app store for Android products, has made
several applications available to users looking to "enjoy
the inspiration" of Adolf Hitler.
The app instructs users to download and "enjoy the
inspiration of Adolf Hitler on your phone." One application,
entitled: "Infamous Adolf Hitler Quotes" opens with the
following description: “Looking for Adolf Hitler Quotes??
Then this is the App for you!”
According to Google Play Store, in the last 30 days there
have been 10,000 – 50,000 downloads of the app. The app
contains numerous Hitler quotes including a special Quote of
the Day feature.
One user commented on the free English-language app in the
user review section, stating: "Wow I love most of these
words awesome apps and it really shows the real Hitler."
Other popular Hitler apps available on Google Play Store
includes "Adolf Hitler Thoughts," which states in its
description that "the wonderful leader has given a lot of
quotes that could motivate people to conquer the world."
The Anti Defamation League (ADL) blog last week responded
to Google Play's Arabic-Language app, “Hitler’s Sayings,"
slamming the "vile messages" it displays. The "Hitler's
Sayings" app lets users read and share what it calls
Hitler's "beautiful sayings that we could benefit from in
our lives."
"Hitler combines the charisma of the skillful physician
and the grand juggler…Read in this application all of
Hitler’s sayings and share them with your friends," the app
states.
One user commented on the application, saying: "Mr. Hitler
caused quite a furor with his deep thinking. A wise man,
whose predictions came true in almost all cases."
The app, according to the ADL blog, offers users quotes
such as "Jews are like the mosquitoes that suck our
blood," and "I could have killed all the Jews in the world,
but I spared some of them so you know why I killed the
rest.”
