Krátky popis
___________'Fascinating... You'll learn more about the
psychological workings of Nazism by reading this superbly
researched chronicle... than you will by reading a shelf of
wider-canvas volumes on the rise of Nazism.' Daily Mail 'An utterly
absorbing insight into the full spectrum of responses from ordinary
people in extraordinary circumstances.' The Times 'Boyd is an
outstanding micro-historian.' iNews ___________ Hidden deep in the
Bavarian mountains lies the picturesque village of Oberstdorf - a
place where for hundreds of years people lived simple lives while
history was made elsewhere.Yet even this remote idyll could not
escape the brutal iron grip of the Nazi regime. From the author of
the bestselling Travellers in the Third Reich comes A Village in
the Third Reich: an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Germany
under Hitler, shining a light on the lives of ordinary people.
Drawing on personal archives, letters, interviews and memoirs, it
lays bare their brutality and love, courage and weakness, action,
apathy and grief, hope, pain, joy and despair.Within its pages we
encounter people from all walks of life - foresters, priests,
farmers and nuns, innkeepers, Nazi officials, veterans and party
members, village councillors, mountaineers, socialists, slave
labourers, schoolchildren, tourists and aristocrats. We meet the
Jews who survived - and those who didn't, the Nazi mayor who tried
to shield those persecuted by the regime, and a blind boy whose
life was judged 'not worth living'. This is a tale of conflicting
loyalties and desires, of shattered dreams - but one in which,
ultimately, human resilience triumphs.These are the stories of
ordinary lives at the crossroads of history. ___ 'Exceptional...
Boyd's book reminds us that even the most brutal regimes cannot
extinguish all semblance of human feeling' Mail on Sunday
'Masterly...[an] important and gripping book... [Boyd is] a leading
historian of human responses in political extremis.' The Oldie
'Gripping... vividly depicted...[a] humane and richly detailed
book' Spectator 'Vivid, moving stories leave us asking ",What would
I have done?",' Professor David Reynolds, author of Island Stories
'Laying bare the tragedies, the compromises, the suffering and the
disillusionment. Exemplary microhistory.' Roger Moorehouse, author
of First to Fight
