In these essays, eight distinguished scholars evaulate the impact of the Third Reich on German and international history fifty years after the Nazis came to power. The essays include studies of the German resistance, the challenge presented by the Third Reich to the German people, the German left, Britain, and the international community, and discusses the terrible threat of anti-Jewish policies and the implementation of the Holocaust. Powerful and thought-provoking, this book challenges readers to understand the experience of Nazi Germany half a century later and to reconsider the meaning it holds for 20th-century history.
