Why does Brimlow think that “it is curious that we take Hitler as the figure and symbol for the embodiment of the utmost evil” (p. 107)? Why does he think this is the case?

Answer:

Robert Brimlow, in his book “What about Hitler?: Wrestling with Jesus’s Call to Nonviolence in an Evil World,” argues that it is curious that we take Hitler as the figure and symbol for the embodiment of the utmost evil. He thinks that this is the case because we have a tendency to externalize evil and project it onto others, rather than recognizing it within ourselves.
