Re “Nazi Quote Becomes Teachable Moment” (news article, June 17):

Many quotes like this one in the Andover (Mass.) High School yearbook can be used in different contexts and will vary in meaning.

In using the quote generally associated with Hitler and his minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels — “Make the lie big, keep it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it” — isn’t it possible that the student was making an astute observation about the current Washington administration?
