Resisting Nazism (eBook, ePUB)

True Stories of Resistance to the World's Most Dangerous Ideology, from 1920 to the Present

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Nazism has always faced resistance: from the German artists who caricatured the Nazis in the 1920s, or the man who infiltrated the SS to try and expose the Holocaust in the 1940s, or the people who uncovered former Nazis as part of a groundbreaking documentary in the 1970s. Resisting Nazism is the first book to connect such stories, painting a vivid picture of resistance to hatred and extremism across the generations.

Built on original interviews with the people involved, their families, and their colleagues, as well as deep research, this book is a response to far-right populist threats and antisemitism that increasingly resemble the Nazi past. Each of its twelve chapters tells a different story of resistance. Sometimes, these stories involve incredible daring and enormous risk - but they also show that resistance can begin with something as simple as writing your ideas down or showing solidarity with the oppressed.
