About this title

Review:

"I know of no other book that brings this material together so searchingly and sensitively, and brings it down to a personal level as well. One cannot read it without being deeply impressed by the author's penetrating judgment and analytical ability."--Peter H. Merkl, University of California at Santa Barbara

"In this splendid, dispassionate analysis, Professor Gordon gives the most comprehensive account yet published of the relations between ordinary Germans and Jews from 1870 until 1945."--Virginia Quarterly Review

From the Back Cover:

This book probes the background of the ultimately unexplainable evil of our century, the deliberate and unprovoked murder of millions of European Jews and goes on to explore German reactions to that evil. Depicting the emergence in Welmar Germany of a new type of extreme anti-Semite, of which Hitler was the paramount example, Sarah Gordon discusses a number of related questions about the role of anti Semitism in the rise of the Nazis and draws on hitherto unexamined Gestapo files, new data on court sentences, and a variety of other sources to describe the tiny numbers of courageous Germans who opposed Nazi anti-Semitism.|

One cannot read it without being deeply impressed by the author's penetrating judgment and analytical ability."--Peter H. Merkl, University of California at Santa Barbara
