Wow, powerful. Reading this in 2020 America I can't help but draw comparisons to our current reality both in the USA and elsewhere. Oppression, repression, violent subjugation, and so on of the other - the not us. This book reveals one German's attempt to understand his country's history and legacy but then becomes a rumination on what allows these things to happen in the first place.
