Summary Drawing on published and unpublished accounts from writers and public figures visiting Germany, this book creates a chilling composite portrait of the reality of life under Hitler. Written in the moment, the essays, letters, and articles gathered here offer fascinating insight into the range of responses to Nazi Germany. While some accounts betray a distressing naivete, overall what is striking is just how clearly many of the travelers understood the true situation- and the terrors to come. Through the eyes of these visitors, this book offers a new perspective on the- so often horrifying - details of German life under Nazism, in accounts as gripping as a novel, but bearing all the weight of historical witness. -- from Book Jacket
