“UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM The assertions, arguments, and conclusions contained herein are those of the author or other contributors. They do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.”
Franz Leopold Neumann, Behemoth: The Structure and Practice of National Socialism, 1933-1944

“the judiciary, and particularly to the change in legal thought and in the position of the judge that culminated in the new principle of judicial review of statutes (as a means of sabotaging social reforms). The power of the judges thereby grew at the expense of the parliament.*”
Franz Leopold Neumann, Behemoth: The Structure and Practice of National Socialism, 1933-1944

“National Socialism has no theory of society as we understand it, no consistent picture of its operation, structure, and development. It has certain aims to carry through and adjusts its ideological pronouncements to a series of ever-changing goals. This absence of a basic theory is one difference between National Socialism and Bolshevism. The National Socialist ideology is constantly shifting It has certain magical beliefs—leadership adoration, the supremacy of the master race—but its ideology is not laid down in a series of categorical and dogmatic pronouncements.”
Franz Leopold Neumann, Behemoth: The Structure and Practice of National Socialism, 1933-1944
