What We Knew: Terror, Mass Murder, and Everyday Life in Nazi Germany: An Oral History

What We Knew: Terror, Mass Murder, and Everyday Life in Nazi Germany: An Oral History | Eric A Johnson, Karl-Heinz Reuband

so-so

I can‘t say I wasn‘t warned. The above sentence appears in the introduction. While the methodology of the surveys is important for academics and the differences in interpretation of the data by the 2 authors points to some issues, this book is not readable. And it doesn‘t offer me any ideas on how to safely resist. How anyone can make such horror so dry is beyond me. The information is good, but if you put people to sleep they won‘t absorb it.

repost for @ChrisBohjalian

I am deeply alarmed by the state of the U.S. Many of you are, too. So, let‘s learn about fascism — a book club, perhaps. But, if nothing else, book suggestions. Let‘s start with WHAT WE KNEW: TERROR, MASS MURDER, AND EVERYDAY LIFE IN NAZI GERMANY.

Dilara The hashtag #readingispolitical might also be of interest.
I've been reading a lot of non-fiction about fascism, nazism and authoritarianism in the last couple of years, but not in English and not necessarily of direct interest to US readers, so I'll probably lurk rather than participate... 4w

My wife majored in American Studies, with a particular focus on WWII. Her shelves definitely, definitely win this category... #booktober "Creepy Cover."
