Bystanders to Nazi violence? The transformation of German society in the 1930s

More about the book

In many of the recent studies of bystanders during the Holocaust, the reliance on postwar perspectives has made it difficult to accurately portray the motivating factors at the time. In this essay about German bystanders to anti-Jewish persecution during the 1930s, Mary Fulbrook addresses that problem by relying solely on contemporary sources, and provides a uniquely sharp and nuanced understanding.
