Zusammenfassung
In one of the darker aspects of Nazi Germany, churches and universities grew to accept and support Nazi ideology. Complicity in the Holocaust describes how the state's intellectual and spiritual leaders enthusiastically partnered with Hitler's regime. Ericksen also examines Germany's flawed yet successful postwar policy of denazification in these institutions.
