The book explores the rise of antisemitic violence in Germany leading up to the Holocaust, highlighting the various forms of aggression faced by the Jewish community. It delves into the responses of German institutions and elites, many of whom had the ability to oppose the Nazi regime but opted for silence instead. Hermann Beck provides a critical analysis of this complicity and the societal dynamics that allowed such violence to escalate unchecked.
