Julia Boyd | A Village in the Third Reich | Online
Sat 14 Jan - Mon 30 Jan 2023
How did Nazism infiltrate the lives of ordinary people in Germany?
Why did people respond to Hitler in the manner that they did? How did attitudes change as the war progressed? And how did they pick themselves up and start again?
Join historians Julia Boyd and David Reynolds as they answer these questions through examining Boyd’s latest book, A Village in the Third Reich. By putting one village under the microscope, Julia evocatively portrays the momentous period of Nazism in Germany.
Drawing on archive material, letters, interviews and memoirs, A Village in the Third Reich is an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Germany under Hitler, of the descent into totalitarianism and of the tragedies that befell all of those touched by Nazism.
