Und er half kräftig mit, Unrecht als Recht erscheinen zu lassen. Globke arbeitete mit an der Ausgestaltung des Systems, obwohl es inhaltlich um Willkür, Verfolgung und in letzter Konsequenz um Mord ging.

Otto von Bismarck was not the kind of man who waited for history to happen. He made it happen, and he didn't much care whose feelings got hurt along the way. Bismarck was the pragmatic Prussian statesman who engineered Germany creation as a unified nation through Realpolitik—the unsentimental art of doing whatever it takes to get results. While other politicians speechified and moralized, Bismarck was already three moves ahead, turning all of Europe into his personal chessboard.
