What enabled millions of Germans to perpetrate or condone the murder of the Jews? 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.
