Following an introduction which sets out the challenges this period of history has posed to historians since 1945, contributors explain how Nazism emerged as ideology and political movement; how Hitler and his party took power and remade the German state; and how the Nazi ‘national community’ was organized around a radical and eventually lethal distinction between the ‘included’ and the ‘excluded’. Further chapters discuss the complex relationship between Nazism and Germany’s religious faiths;
the perverse economic rationality of the regime; the path to war laid down by Hitler’s foreign policy; and the intricate and intimate intertwining of war and genocide, with a final chapter on the aftermath of National Socialism in postwar German history and memory.
