LTI – Language of the Third Reich

The German Jewish novelist Victor Klemperer (1881–1960) wrote a study of the dehumanizing Lingua Tertii Imperii (Language of the Third Reich). In the book, he explains that this language is characterized by the ambiguity of the concepts and by efforts to "objectify" and give a scientific or neutral aspect to expressions.
