Hitlers Komplizen Ein neuer Blick auf das Dritte Reich

In the organizer's words:

Lecture:

For too long, the National Socialists have been portrayed as mere psychopaths or criminals. In his new book Hitler's Accomplices, British historian Richard J. Evans opens up a different perspective: using a biographical approach, he focuses on the people who created, supported and defended the regime to the very end. Based on newly discovered sources, he dispels the myth of the "Third Reich" and shows perpetrators as people who were disturbingly similar to us. His analysis helps us to understand why ordinary people became Nazis and supported the regime to the end.

Sir Richard J. Evans is one of the most renowned historians of our time. His works on the history of National Socialism are internationally regarded as standard works. He was Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge.
