Mary Fulbrook

Bystander Society (eBook, PDF)

Conformity and Complicity in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The most commonly asked--and bitterly debated--question about Germans during the Nazi era is, "how much did they know?" Were they aware of what was being committed in their name? As Mary Fulbrook argues in this haunting and original new book, that's the wrong question to ask. It's not what people knew; it's what they did with what they knew.
