| Summary |
"Bystander Society provides an overview of the notion of by standing within Nazi Germany. It details the social conditions before and during the Nazi regime in Germany that eventually facilitated a series of mass murders. The role of ordinary Germans enabled the emergence of Nazisms and its subsequent exclusion, persecution, and extermination of people. The creation of a bystander society coincides with how most Germans were unable to act or developed growing indifference to the fate of non-Aryans, Jews, and people considered outside the Volksgemeinschaft. Bystander Society highlights the significance of changing social and political circumstances during the Nazi regime by referencing first-hand narratives of primary victims and people who stayed on the sidelines to avoid violence"-- Provided by publisher |
