Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin
Gender
But Adele's fear of the road was no match for her fear of being lost. Swallowed into the Fuhrer's breeding systems to mother a whole nation of blonds. Doomed to years of swollen ankles, a body run down, and breasts sucked dry. p27
Power
The Fuhrer was known for his speeches. His voice turned words into living, breathing things that snaked under skins, lit fires inside even the dullest minds. p40
Hypocrisy
An Italian face: olive skin, dark hair, shaded eyes. (Non-Aryan by strict standards, though Hitler's racial system was built just as much on politics as it was on weak pseudoscience. Like the Japanese, Italians were "honorary Aryan," because of their pro-National Socialist war efforts.) p95
"But think of the implications! If a Jewish urchin can appear Aryan, then why not the rest of us? What would take generations with eugenics could be accomplished with just a few injections! Those of us with flawless pedigrees who want more desirable traits can have them. Why, even the Fuhrer himself..." p117
Survival
"Better?" Vlad choked on the world. "It never gets better. It just gets less. It becomes something you can face. If only for five minutes." p264-265
