Excerpt, similar parts emboldened below, btw, the culture minister's name was Roberto Alvim:
Brazil's culture minister fired after echoing Goebbels
...
n the six-minute video detailing the National Arts Awards, Mr Alvim said: "The Brazilian art of the next decade will be heroic and will be national, will be endowed with great capacity for emotional involvement... deeply linked to the urgent aspirations of our people, or else it will be nothing."
Parts of it were identical to a speech quoted in the book Joseph Goebbels: A Biography, by German historian Peter Longerich, who has written several works on the Holocaust.
"The German art of the next decade will be heroic, it will be steely-romantic, it will be factual and completely free of sentimentality, it will be national with great pathos and binding, or it will be nothing."

Unfortunately, the two parts are similar, was the book they are citing written in Portuguese? Or English? I wonder about... or maybe it was written in German.
