Notes from the Third Reich: Life on the Eve of War Through the Eyes of Ordinary Tourists
14.99 €
What happens if you remove the constraints of retrospective perception and academic discourse and find yourself in that very same country at that very time?
The time is the early 20th century, the place is Germany. Imagine passing through, unaware of the imminent war. You observe beautiful landscapes, hardworking residents, and… flags, many flags, people in uniform, marching columns. Are you a college graduate or a staunch opponent of Nazism trying to open people's eyes? Will you be able to understand what is really happening, resist propaganda, and predict the Holocaust?
The book contains stories of students, politicians, musicians, diplomats, schoolchildren, communists, scientists, athletes, poets, journalists, artists, tourists, ordinary people, and celebrities like Charles Lindbergh and Samuel Beckett. Eyewitnesses to history and their disturbing, absurd, touching, and tragic stories give us the opportunity to look at Germany during the Third Reich from a completely different perspective.
