'München ein Farbenmeer. Die Kunststadt. Großer Aufbau. Hitler hält glänzende Rede über Neubau der deutschen Kunst. Und legt dann den Grundstein zum "Haus der deutschen Kunst".' 'Munich a sea of colour. The city of art. Hitler holds a brilliant speech about the new construction of German art. And then lays the foundation stone for the "Haus der deutschen Kunst".' Excerpt relating to opening of the Haus der deutschen Kunst (House of German Art) in October 1933, with Adolf Hitler himself laying the first stone. Today, the building is covered in Yiddish scrawl, and it's just called the 'Haus der Kunst'. They removed the deutschen from the name. A sad indictment of modern Germany. (Tagebücher: 16th October 1933.)
