Very interesting in this political moment. Key takeaways so far: 1) according to the author, very few of those who supported the party ever came to think of is as evil in the way we do, instead resenting chiefly that it brought war 2) hiding Jews was surprisingly not illegal, most caught were charged with listening to foreign radio 3) the party offered a $10 European travel program to citizens looked back on fondly

Takeaways: 1) Germany, during the period, had an extensive welfare state for all but enemies of the party 2) most supporters only knew other supporters and few were in community with anyone being persecuted, which led to a perception of generalized prosperity 3) descenters reported being less concerned with the plights of those like them than with their own safety
