Robert P. Ericksen explains how an advanced, highly educated, Christian nation could commit the crimes of the Holocaust. This book describes how Germany's intellectual and spiritual leaders enthusiastically partnered with Hitler's regime, thus becoming active participants in the persecution of Jews, and ultimately, in the Holocaust. Ericksen also examines Germany's deeply flawed yet successful postwar policy of denazification in these institutions. Complicity in the Holocaust argues that enthusiasm for Hitler within churches and universities effectively gave Germans permission to participate in the Nazi regime.Church and stateGermanyHistory1933-1945National socialism and religionUniversities and collegesGermanyHistory20th centuryHigher education and stateGermanyHistory20th centuryNational socialism and educationAnti-Nazi movementGermanyHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)GermanyChurch and stateHistoryNational socialism and religion.Universities and collegesHistoryHigher education and stateHistoryNational socialism and education.Anti-Nazi movementHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)940.53/18Ericksen Robert P.1027459UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910461765103321Complicity in the Holocaust2442906UNINA
