The processes whose dynamism resembles the situation of the eve of the outbreak of the Second World War – the largest hecatomb of humanity – are growing in contemporary Europe. Denis Edward claims that “Each generation has to struggle with the eternal problem of evil”. We have to discern again some signs given to us by God in order to discover Lumen Fidei and Veritatis Splendor of our century. This text is a slight contribution to the attempt to show the truth of faith and love confronted with anti-world of hatred based on the example of two radically different testimonies. The first has been preserved in the form of the Diary and letters of blessed Natalia Tułasiewicz, a modest Polish teacher, who was faithful to God until the last days of her life (she was murdered in Holy Saturday in 1944 and burnt in a crematorium in Ravensbrück). The other source refers to the Diaries of Joseph Goebbels – a politician, who in the name of racist ideology of hatred toward humankind, participated in the programme of genocide and in the creation of the anti-culture of total falsehood, and who recorded his thoughts in 24 volumes’ journal – the longest diary that functionaries of the murderous Third Reich have left behind. In the face of the threat of the outbreak of European war, the discovery of what the killing of Europe’s Christian soul and the submission to the anti-civilization of total distortion of human conscience lead to become valid now.
