Many Germans who had immigrated to the United States were sitting in a theater when the movie Psyche<\/i> was shown. The propaganda movie, produced by Hitler\u2019s Third Reich in 1940, followed the invasion and Blitzkrieg through Poland. Whenever a Polish person appeared on the screen, people in the audience would scream, \u201cKill him! Kill him!\u201d in a frenzied commitment to the destruction of Germany\u2019s enemies.<\/p>\n
W. H. Auden, the Pulitzer prize-winning poet, playwright, and literary critic, was so shocked that he walked out of the theater. He later said one question ran through his mind: \u201cWhat response can my enlightened, humanistic tradition give to this evil, to those who cry out for the blood of innocent victims?\u201d He began to sense that the only answer to evil was not in humanism, but in God and the revelation of God in the Bible.<\/p>\n
He was convicted of God\u2019s holiness and his own sinfulness. In 1940 he became a Christian.<\/p>\n
