What enabled millions of Germans to perpetrate or condone the murder of the Jews? In this illuminating book, Thomas Kühne offers a provocative answer. In addition to the hatred of Jews or coercion that created a genocidal society, he contends, the desire for a united "people's community" made Germans conform and join together in mass crime.Exploring private letters, diaries, memoirs, secret reports, trial records, and other documents, the author shows how the Nazis used such common human needs as community, belonging, and solidarity to forge a nation conducting the worst crime in history.Community lifeGermanyHistory20th centuryFellowshipSocial aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryGenocideSocial aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryAntisemitismSocial aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryShameSocial aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryNational socialismSocial aspectsHistory20th centuryGermanySocial life and customs20th centuryGermanySocial conditions20th centuryGermanyRace relationsHistory20th centuryGermanyArmed ForcesMilitary lifeHistory20th centuryCommunity lifeHistoryFellowshipSocial aspectsHistoryGenocideSocial aspectsHistoryAntisemitismSocial aspectsHistoryShameSocial aspectsHistoryNational socialismSocial aspectsHistory943.086Kühne Thomas1958-387237MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955193003321Belonging and genocide4352140UNINA
