Savitri Devi's book, The Lightning and the Sun, promotes a cyclical view of history, with the belief that time began with a golden age dominated by Arians and has now entered the Kali Yuga, or the dark age, which she also called the reign of the Jew. The only way out of this dark age, according to her, is for the man against time, Adolf Hitler, to purge non-Aryans and establish a strict racial hierarchy.
