What We Knew [electronic resource] : Terror, Mass Murder, and Everyday Life in Nazi Germany. Eric A Johnson.

Johnson, Eric A. (Author).

Summary:

An American historian and a German sociologist seek answers from those who lived through Nazi Germany: how did the country stand by while one of the biggest genocides in history took place?   The horrors of the Nazi regime and the Holocaust still present some of the most disturbing questions in modern history: Why did Hitler's party appeal to millions of Germans, and how entrenched was anti-Semitism among the population? How could anyone claim, after the war, that the genocide of Europe's Jews was a secret? Did ordinary non-Jewish Germans live in fear of the Nazi state?  ​ In this unprecedented firsthand analysis of daily life as experienced in the Third Reich,  What We Knew  offers answers to these most important questions. Combining the expertise of Eric A. Johnson and Karl-Heinz Reuband,  What We Knew  is the most startling oral history yet of everyday life in the Third Reich.
