Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Culture and Propaganda, at the League of Nations, Geneva, 1933.
 
RealAudio:
"He thought I would wither..."
 
"In 1933, I traveled to Geneva for the fifteenth session of the League of Nations. There, sitting in the hotel garden, was Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda.... Sunddenly he spotted me and I snapped him. Here are the eyes of hate. Was I an enemy? Behind him is his private secretary and interpreter. This picture was published many times throughout the world. I have been asked how I felt photographing these men. Naturally, not so good, but when I have a camera in my hand I know no fear." 
- Alfred Eisenstaedt
