Goebbels manufactured prophecies.

He created a narrative of inevitable victory, but there is one prophecy he couldn't control, one that waited for over 2,000 years.

It was over 2000 years old, and it came from a Jewish queen named Esther.

Ancient Persia, 486 BC.

King Xerxes ruled the Persian Empire, but the man who whispered in his ear was Haman.

Haman wasn't just an advisor, he was the Grand Vizier, the second most powerful man in the world.

When he walked through the streets, everyone was required to bow.

But one day, a Jewish man named Mordecai refused to bow.

Haman was furious.

He convinced Xerxes to issue an order.

On a specific date, all Jews in the empire would be killed.

But Haman had a problem.
