...broad concrete stairs into the Underground station. Take a quick right, stop at a yellow, graffiti-covered steel door. Knock. Nina and Torsten Römer, curators of Project Paradise, open the door and lead the way deeper into the earth along a narrow concrete passageway to a Nazi-era bunker. During World War II, Berlin's huddled masses sheltered here as Allied bombs flattened their city. Until Nov. 2, you're more likely to bump into Hitler, as played by a Russian actor, begging for forgiveness; or a snake handler with a boa constrictor that's meant to represent...
...thesis of a new show at Frankfurt's Schirn Kunsthalle, which argues that the techniques the dictator used to promote communism in the 1930s presage those now used to sell products throughout the free world. Long before the creative directors of Western ad agencies and shortly before Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, Stalin understood how to use images to mold public opinion. "It was mass marketing," says Boris Groys, co-curator of Dream Factory Communism - the Visual Culture of the Stalin Era, at the Schirn through early January. "The difference was that Stalin's was conducted by a totalitarian state...
...mufti was apparently planning to return to Palestine in the event of a German victory and to construct a death camp modeled after Auschwitz near Nablus;” and on and on.

Nazi and fascist characterizations of America barely differ in either tone or content from those of the extreme left. During the Cold War years, the presence of the Soviet threat—perceived a greater evil—muted disdain for America. But once this danger disappeared, old antipathies reemerged with...
...gifted documentary filmmaker, whose two-part Olympia, a record of the 1936 Summer Games, pioneered techniques and attitudes copied in virtually all TV sports coverage. Instead, she is vilified as the venal genius who glamorized the Hitler myth in 1935's Triumph of the Will. This record of a Nazi Party Congress rally in Nuremberg still sickens with its close-up view of the spellbinding Fuhrer (this was the original Springtime for Hitler), still enthralls with the artful precision of its editing craft. A wily 101 at her death, Riefenstahl outlived most of her critics but not her reputation...
