Complicity in the Holocaust: Churches and Universities in Nazi Germany (repost)

Complicity in the Holocaust: Churches and Universities in Nazi Germany by Robert P. Ericksen
English | 2012 | ISBN-10: 1107663334, 110701591X | PDF | 280 pages | 1 MB

In one of the darker aspects of Nazi Germany, churches and universities - generally respected institutions - grew to accept and support Nazi ideology. Robert P. Ericksen explains how an advanced, highly-educated, Christian nation could commit the crimes of the Holocaust.

This book describes how Germany's intellectual and spiritual leaders enthusiastically partnered with Hitler's regime, thus becoming active participants in the persecution of Jews, and ultimately, in the Holocaust. Ericksen also examines Germany's deeply flawed yet successful postwar policy of denazification in these institutions. Complicity in the Holocaust argues that enthusiasm for Hitler within churches and universities effectively gave Germans permission to participate in the Nazi regime.
