Nazism was finished in the bunker in Berlin and its death warrant signed on the bench They Thought They Were Free Nuremberg. They Thought They Were Free is an eloquent and provocative examination of the development of fascism in Germany. His discussions with them of Nazism, the rise of the Reich, and mass complicity with evil became the backbone of this book, an indictment of the ordinary German that is all the more powerful for its refusal to let the rest of us pretend that our moment, our society, our country are fundamentally immune. A new foreword They Thought They Were Free this edition by eminent historian of the Reich Richard J. Evans puts the book in historical and contemporary context. We live in an age of fervid politics and hyperbolic rhetoric. They Thought They Were Free cuts through that, revealing instead the slow, quiet accretions of They Thought They Were Free, complicity, and abdication of moral authority that quietly mark the rise of evil.

With great concern I see many in the United States embracing this path without objection, even with delight, especially name-callers in conservative comment channels who have lost all sense of respect, or even decent tolerance, for any person with views other than their own. This 60 year old book illuminates what is happening in our country today, without blaming or finger-pointing! Strongly recommended!! Lists with This Book. Community Reviews. Showing Average rating 4.

They Wanted It; They Got It; And They Liked It Milton Mayer was that rarest of writers: a journalist who knew his job was to create interesting facts; and a philosopher who knew that facts are meaningless without a theory, a coherent narrative, that connects them. His phenomenological analysis of ten Everyman Nazis was remarkable but largely unremarked when it was first published in during the Red Scare of McCarthyism. The book may be even more relevant today in understanding the Red Scare o They Wanted It; They Got It; And They Liked It Milton Mayer was that rarest of writers: a journalist who knew his job was to create interesting facts; and a philosopher who knew that facts are meaningless without a theory, a coherent narrative, that connects them. The book may be even more relevant today in understanding the Red Scare of a different sort: Trumpism. Mayer's central conclusion is profoundly simple: "Nazism was a mass movement and not the tyranny of a diabolical few over helpless millions. But perhaps few know what Mayer discovered in his year of interviews in post-war Germany, that the 'average' German working stiff not only welcomed the rise of Hitler but looked back fondly to the rule of National Socialism as the best days of his life. Nazism was what most Germans wanted - or, under pressure of combined reality and illusion, came to want. They wanted it; they got it; and they liked it. And despite his demonstrated racism, misogyny, narcissism, vulgarity, and incompetence, he still demands the loyalty of those who elected him and even They Thought They Were Free those who have been humiliated by him. As Mayer points out, "Responsible men never shirk responsibility, and so when they must reject it, they deny it. They Thought They Were Free is a prophetic book in an authentically biblical sense: it articulates a fundamental flaw in democratic society, namely that such societies, like every other, from time to time embrace pure evil without even becoming aware of it. Perhaps William Burroughs was right, the evil in North America was there waiting before the first European settlers, even before the first inhabitants. It has now become part of the national character. The self-absorption of the American people ensures that this evil can only fester and grow until it bursts like a boil. God help the rest of us when it does. Americans They Thought They Were Free undoubtedly find someone else to blame. View all 74 comments. There, he set about to answer the question plaguing the world since Hilter's rise in how did a modern, western democracy fall prey to Nazism? Mayer was from German decent himself and a Jew, and he decided the answer to this quandary might lie in the "little man. Police officer. What Mayer discovered, and documented in his book, was They Thought They Were Free story of how fanaticism can overtake us all. They did not know between and that it was evil. And they do not know it now. Hilter, who? Oh, no, I was always against that stuff. Shame what happened to those poor Jews. You don't think they'll come back here to claim this house I stole from them, do you? Well, Mayer finds a very different post-war Germany. Even in all the turmoil, the poverty and the destruction, eight of his They Thought They Were Free friends were unapologetic about their support for National Socialism. They remembered it as the best time of their lives, the time a "little guy" like them kept a job and even have money for a vacation now and again. Most were against the war, and very sorry about the whole They Thought They Were Free thing but those Jews and Gypsies really did bring it on themselveswith one They Thought They Were Free as far as to blame all the Nazi bad deeds on Himmler. Hitler was just a fine chap who had nothing to do with it. He'd looked out for the "little man. One of Mayer's subjects, an elderly tailor who the author suspects lies to him, at least a little, spent three years in prison for the arson. They Thought They Were Free sought to get to They Thought They Were Free root of why each of his ten friends joined the Nazi party. For some, it was a true belief, but others were so-called March Violets, latecomers to the party who joined when their victory was inevitable, and because everyone else did. For the schoolteacher, the most thoughtful and remorseful of all Mayer's subjects and I would argue his favoriteit was a matter of keeping his job. He'd been a social democrat in another town and wanted to be above suspicion himself. But, even he admitted to enjoying the feeling of belonging and took pride in wearing the Nazi uniform. They wanted it purified of the politicians, of all the politicians. And Hitler, the pure man, the antipolitician, was the man, untainted by 'politics,' which was only a cloak for corruption. Drain the swamp! We need an outsider! Both sides are the same! The two party system is corrupt and broken! What we see in this book is the road map for outsiders to take advantage of western democracies under the right socio-economic conditions. It happened in s Germany. It's happened across the world since. It can happen to you. Interestingly, although Mayer's book makes the case that any one of us can be the next crop of "little men" taken in by a They Thought They Were Free leader who provides us an outlet for our frustrations, that's not what the author set out to suggest. In fact, Mayer argues that there's something unique They Thought They Were Free the German national character that turned them into Nazis. He was also profoundly concerned that the continued American occupation of Germany as of would turn the country again into Nazis, under a new anti-communist heading. Readers in will recognize little of what Mayer suggests is the German national character. We also know the occupation didn't turn out the way he feared, and that Germany is one of the most successful, stable and prosperous They Thought They Were Free in the world. I'm in perfect agreement, and it made rating this book difficult, because the first pages are They Thought They Were Free, so good, and the last near worthless. But I suppose that's the risk you take when you read a book written 60 years ago. I do wish in the re-release the pseudonyms for the town and the ten subjects had been dropped, like with Anne Frank's diary. There's only an outside chance one of the ten is still alive and no more need to protect identities.

  • 4. the Nazis Take Power
    4. The Nazis Take Power Anyone who interprets National Socialism as merely a political movement knows almost nothing about it. It is more than a religion. It is the determination to create the new man. ADOLF HITLER OVERVIEW Within weeks of taking office, Adolf Hitler was altering German life. Within a year, Joseph Goebbels, one of his top aides, could boast: The revolution that we have made is a total revolution. It encompasses every aspect of public life from the bottom up… We have replaced individuality with collective racial consciousness and the individual with the community… We must develop the organizations in which every individual’s entire life will be regulated by the Volk community, as represented by the Party. There is no longer arbitrary will. There are no longer any free realms in which the individual belongs to himself… The time of personal happiness is over.1 How did Hitler do it? How did he destroy the Weimar Republic and replace it with a totalitarian government – one that controls every part of a person’s life? Many people have pointed out that he did not destroy democracy all at once. Instead, he moved gradually, with one seemingly small compromise leading to another and yet another. By the time many were aware of the danger, they were isolated and alone. This chapter details those steps. It also explores why few Germans protested the loss of their freedom and many even applauded the changes the Nazis brought to the nation. Historian Fritz Stern offers one answer. “The great appeal of National Socialism – and perhaps of every totalitarian dictatorship in this century – was the promise of absolute authority.

I hope it produces a deeper understanding of the challenges that the faculty of the University confronted over many decades in establishing Chicago’s national reputation as a particu- larly steadfast defender of the principle of academic freedom. Broadly understood, academic freedom is a principle that requires us to defend autonomy of thought and expression in our community, manifest in the rights of our students and faculty to speak, write, and teach freely. It is the foundation of the University’s mission to discover, improve, and disseminate knowledge. We do this by raising ideas in a climate of free and rigorous debate, where those ideas will be challenged and refined or discarded, but never stifled or intimidated from expres- sion in the first place. This principle has met regular challenges in our history from forces that have sought to influence our curriculum and research agendas in the name of security, political interests, or financial 1.

  • Speak Truth to Power
    I a Quaker sear '*I I I (1 study of intern 'I' SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER A Quaker Search for an Alternative to Violence A STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL CONFLICT PREPARED FOR THE AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE A NOTE TO THE READER For more than thirty-five years the American Friends Service Committee has worked among those who suffer, recognizing no enemies, and seeking only to give expression to the love of God in service. Out of this experience, gained under all kinds of govern- ments and amidst all kinds of people, has come some appreciation i of the problems of peacemaking in the modern world. This has led I the Committee to issue over the past five years a series of studies on possible ways to ease tension and move toward international peace. The series began in 1949 with the publication of The United States and the Soviet Union. It was continued in 1951 with Steps to Peace and in 1952 with Toward Security through Disarmament. This is the fourth of the series, while a fifth, dealing with the future of the United Nations, is now in preparation. All of these reports have been prepared for the American Friends Service Committee by study groups convened especially for the pur- pose. They have been approved for publication by the Committee's Executive Board-not as official pronouncements, but in the interest of stimulating public discussion of the issues raised, and in the hope that such discussion will contribute to the formation of policies that will bring peace. The other studies have been developed on the assumption that reliance on military power is so integral in the policy of every major nation, that the most practical approach to peacemaking is to suggest specific next steps to reduce tension and thereby move gradually away from the reliance on force.

Record your comments in your journal. READING 4 Targeting the Jews To bring about his revolution, Hitler had to isolate and then eliminate his opponents. Once the Communists were outside the protection of the law, he turned his attention to the Jews. He ordered Nazi leaders to “bring up the Jewish question again and again and again, unceasingly.

As a basic rule among the education professions the Jewish questions should be discussed from the To me the whole thing standpoints of the findings of the science of race, of higher was inconceivable.

    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries William K. Hefner Papers 1945-1987 (Bulk: 1959-1964) 6 boxes (9 linear ft.) Call no.: MS 129 Collection overview In 1960, William K. Hefner (1915-1993) became one of the first of new breed of radical pacifists to run for elective office, when he ran as a peace candidate for Congress in the 1st district of Massachusetts. An accountant from Greenfield, Hefner was involved at a national level with movements for peace and civil rights. An early member of SANE, a founder of Political Action for Peace in 1959 (now CPPAX) and the Greenfield Peace Center (1963), and an active member of the American Friends Service Committee, War Resisters League, Turn Toward Peace, and the World Without War Conference, Hefner was an energetic force in the movements for peace and disarmament, civil rights, and a more just economic system. He ran unsuccessfully for office in three elections between 1960 and 1964, and supported peace candidate H. Stuart Hughes in his bid for election to the U.S. Senate in 1962. The Hefner papers offer a remarkable record of politically-engaged activism for peace and social justice in the early 1960s. With an intensely local focus, Hefner was tied in to the larger movements at the state and national level, corresponding with major figures such as A.J. Muste, Bayard Rustin, Benjamin Spock, and Arthur Springer. The collection includes particularly rich documentation of the early years of Political Action for Peace, which Hefner helped found, with correspondence, minutes of meetings, and publications, as well as equally rich materials on Hefner's bids for congress in 1960 and 1962.
