Géraldine Schwarz’s grandfather died before she could ask him that question. But her need to know drives “Those Who Forget: My Family’s Story in Nazi Europe,” her riveting exploration of Germany’s post-World War II reckoning with guilt and responsibility.
Ms. Schwarz, a journalist and documentary filmmaker who was raised in France and now lives in Germany, had long wondered why and how so many “ordinary” Germans—and in particular her father’s parents, Karl and Lydia—came to embrace Hitler starting in the 1930s.
She begins by delving into the pre- and post-World War II lives of her paternal grandparents, whose hometown of Mannheim, Germany, was heavily bombed during the war. Her Opa and Oma had been no worse—and no better—than most German citizens, Ms. Schwarz writes, being “neither on the victims’ nor the executioners’ side. . . . They were simplyTypical of the Mitläufer, Karl was a paying member of the Nazi party.
Books Beware. This is how it happens.
Books Not “could,” IS HAPPENING ALREADY.
Books $33 per month? Are you all smoking crack? That's more than my Netflix, Hulu, & TiVo service combined. I want to have more news services but that price just proves how elitest you all are.

Books The Germans were committing atrocities and crimes against humanity long before the Nazi's came to power. From 1904 to 1908 the German state officially declared and carried out a genocide against the Nama and Herero people of Namibia. But since it was in Africa, who cares, right..
Books What is going on on that side of the pond with the obsession with nazis? That time is past! Was a combination of economic depression, repression, extreme right ideology, Zionism, communism. 🙈 That time is dead. Those responsible has been hang!
Books It IS beginning here in this Nation with Trump.

Books Not going to happen here. Do you see the antifa mugshots? They are the dregs of the earth.
Books Those who ignore the fact that nazi is an acronym for socialist party will vote in another Hitler if they vote for any socialist democrat.
Books Not. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Books Is this saying that we should not be quiet about oppression of china who is obviously invading the rights of Uyghurs, Tibetans, Mongolians (to say the least)? I do agree 100%! And the anarchists vandalizing America? Yes, I am opposed to them, and we should resist the movement.
Books What is evil is that the Akron Police can handcuff a law-abiding citizen in 2014 for refusing to see a psychiatrist, and throw them into an ambulance and have the EMS drug them. The Cleveland Police throw people in mental hospitals who have no weapon. What is wrong here?
Books Never happen. No one can now control the flow of information like the Nazis did.
Books Could happen? It IS happening and now. Foreign interests are funding these “peaceful protesters” to antagonize law enforcement into committing violence just in hopes of turning the public against all authority. Once chaos rules...the foreign financiers will invade.
Books What is so interesting is that the Nazis succeeded even though, even at the high point of the NSDAP, only 10% of the population were members. It’s a warning that even small groups of fanatics can take over an entire culture.
Books Qanon uses much of the propaganda Hitler used against the Jews. A secret cabal is taking over the world. They kidnap children, slaughter, and eat them to gain power from their blood. They control high positions in government, banks, international finance, the news media & church
Books It may be hard to believe, but there may be enough people in this country whose lives are so boring, mundane, and unexciting that inwardly they wish to see some degree of anarchy in America, so long as it doesn't affect them TOO MUCH. Then there are those who are just plain ANGRY
Books lol could
Books It's happening now with the gutless little boys and girls in professional sports.

Books The modern day version is called Antifa/BLM.
Books Less Germans voted for Hitler than Americans for Trump. Americans were able to learn from history but they opted not to do it. Combine low education, extreme hate & racism plus poverty and it can happen everywhere. The USA just learn it the hard way.
JuddApatow Books Must read book from the era, “What About Germany”.
