Klappentext "An absolutely magnificent achievement. After the mountain of books that have been published on Nazism! it can seem implausible that there is still more to learn. This brilliantly conceived collection of primary documents shows that there is indeed more - much more. No prior anthology or analysis does nearly so much to help readers enter the emotional landscape of the Third Reich! so as to understand better the at once savage and subtle ideological work that made the regime so terrifyingly successful." -Dagmar Herzog! Graduate Center! City University of New York "The indispensable collection of texts from the Third Reich in this extraordinary volume gives readers first-hand knowledge of the transformation of life in Nazi Germany into a racist state and culture. In this most important single volume for understanding German society under Hitler! Rabinbach and Gilman document the racial hatred and violence that transformed all aspects of life into a Nazi society: law! politics! culture! science! religion! education! sexuality! marriage! childrearing! sports! the arts! concentration camps! that finally led to World War II and the murder of the Jews."-Professor Susannah Heschel! author of The Aryan Jesus: Christian Theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany "No other topic provides a deeper insight into Nazism's mobilizing ambiguity then its attitude towards America as modernity's hothouse. The Reader contains an excellent collection for that query."-Dan Diner! The Hebrew University of Jerusalem/ The Simon Dubnow Institute! Leipzig University Zusammenfassung No documentation of National Socialism can be undertaken without the explicit recognition that the "German Renaissance" promised by the Nazis culminated in unprecedented horror - World War II and genocide of European Jewry.
