They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45 [1933-1945]

"As an American, I was repelled by the rise of National Socialism in Germany. As an American of German descent, I was ashamed. As a Jew, I was stricken. As a newspaperman, I was fascinated. In 1935 I spent a month in Berlin trying to obtain a series of meetings with Adolf Hitler. Then I traveled in Nazi Germany for an American magazine. I saw the German people, people I had known when I visited Germany as a boy, and for the first time realized Nazism was a mass movement and not the tyranny of a diabolical few over helpless millions." - Foreword. Mayer, a journalist and educator was no stranger to controversy, particularly after his article "The Case Against the Jew" appeared in the March 28, 1942 issue of the Saturday Evening Post. - Wikipedia. xxii, 346 pp. Average wear. No dust jacket. Usual library markings. Binding tight. A sound reference copy.; 8vo
