Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. 1st Edition. 1st American Edition (Random House - 1963) VERY GOOD, in a good dust jacket.

She argues that these traits contributed to the rise of Nazism and allowed former Nazis to regain positions of power in post-war Germany with little resistance.

She also expresses frustration at the absence of a deep, cleansing guilt among her contemporaries and older generations, suggesting that this avoidance enabled a troubling continuity of Nazi influence in the new Germany.…
