When Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels met photographer Alfred Eisenstadt, his eyes were filled with hatred.
"Later I found myself sitting at the same table as him, surrounded by his assistants and bodyguards. Goebbels looked so short, while his bodyguards were so burly. So I approached Goebbels and took a picture of him.
Then he looked up at me with a look of hatred on his face. He looked at me with hateful eyes, waiting for me to disappear. But I wasn't intimidated, because as long as I had the camera in my hand, I wouldn't have fear. ”
