Germany was a deeply divided nation when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in 1933. With the benefit of hindsight, questions have been raised as to why a civilized nation let the Nazis impose their rule in such inhumane fashion, and why so few individuals made any attempt to rebel. Drawing on the recollections of those who actually experienced it, this gripping history examines the indoctrination of children; the gradual disappearance of family, friends, and neighbors; and the effect of "Children, Kitchen and Church" on German women.
