Yet even this remote idyll could not escape the brutal iron grip of the Nazi regime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From the author of the international bestseller \u003ci\u003eTravelers in the Third Reich\u003c\/i\u003e comes \u003ci\u003eA Village in the Third Reich\u003c\/i\u003e, shining a light on the lives of ordinary people. Drawing on personal archives, letters, interviews and memoirs, it lays bare their brutality and love; courage and weakness; action, apathy and grief; hope, pain, joy, and despair. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Within its pages we encounter people from all walks of life - foresters, priests, farmers and nuns; innkeepers, Nazi officials, veterans and party members; village councillors, mountaineers, socialists, slave labourers, schoolchildren, tourists and aristocrats. We meet the Jews who survived - and those who didn't; the Nazi mayor who tried to shield those persecuted by the regime; and a blind boy whose life was judged \"not worth living.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is a tale of conflicting loyalties and desires, of shattered dreams--but one in which, ultimately, human resilience triumphs. These are the stories of ordinary lives at the crossroads of history.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 163936613X\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781639366132\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Boyd, Julia, Patel, Angelika\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Pegasus Books\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pegasus Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Feb 2024)","offer_id":46079817187525,"sku":"9781639366132","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781639366132.jpg?v=1776032008","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/a-village-in-the-third-reich-how-ordinary-lives-were-transformed-by-the-rise-of-fascism","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
