Albert Speer

A brilliant architect, student of great designers, initially apolitical, Albert Speer became a member of Hitler's inner circle in the 1930s. Initially as a designer of the sets for the ocean parades, then as a renovator of large public buildings, Speer was entrusted with the role of reconstructing and remodeling Berlin as the future world capital of Nazism and then of leading the German industrial production machine. Behind him he left the memory of his sketches and models, the discordant declarations in Nuremberg, books of memory but also a daughter who, with deeds and not with words, demonstrated that the best way to close the accounts with the past it means turning the page.
