Description: Pre-owned book in good condition with normal wear and tear for its age. Some discoloration to the pages has occurred due to age and shelf-life. Dustjacket intact but delicate. Published in 1946, immediately after the end of WW2, this is the tragic recounting of how the Germans incrementally de-humanized a race of people ultimately leading to that people's mass murder. Beware the signs in our "modern" world of people STILL de-humanizing others. Beware those who attack others instead of cogently disagreeing with them in a reasoned way. Beware those who claim all your problems are caused by a scapegoat. beware those that think they are better than someone else.This book reminds me that when we forgive someone, we bring Heaven down to earth. When we hate someone, we bring Hell up to earth. This book recounts 1st-person, eye-witness recollections of hell on earth.This book pre-dates and inspired the "Black Book of Communism," (1999, Harvard Press) and is likewise an essential book for your physical library. (btw: Read it before you claim communism is the answer to your ills--it's over 700 pages of vivid destruction, cruelty and murder from around the globe and the communists make the socialist nazis look like mere amateurs.)This Black Book (1946) recounts the horrors of collectivist fascism in Germany.The Black Book of Communism recounts the horrors of collectivist Communism throughout the globe.IMHO, books like these are why the Nazis eventually prohibited German Jews from owning books.The 1946 Black Book has a terrifying "Table of Anti-Jewish Legislation in Germany 1933-1943" showing how Evil spread one piece of legislation at a time. Some examples:4/7/33: outlawed Jews from working in gov't, or as teachers.4/22/33: outlawed Jews from working as attorneys.7/14/33: revoked naturalized citizen status for eastern European Jews.9/22/33: Jews excluded from art, music, literature, etc.9/29/33: Jews excluded from owning land and working on farms.10/4/33: Jews excluded from working in journalism.3/23/34: Law deporting eastern Euro Jews out of Germany.5/21/35: Jews excluded from military service.9/15/35: Jewish citizenship status changed from citizen to subject.3/28/38: Jewish towns lose legal status to make local laws and be recognized.4/26/38: Jews required by law to register all property valued over 5,000 reichsmark.7/23/38: Special ID cards mandated for Jews.7/25/38: Medical Licenses of Jewish doctors cancelled.9/27/38: Jewish attorneys have bar licenses revoked.11/12/38: All Jews fined/taxed 1 billion reichsmark for being Jewish.11/12/38: All Jews completely eliminated from German Economic Life, unable to work except special circs.11/12/38: Jews required to pay for repairs to their own property that was destroyed by vandalism.11/15/38: All Jewish children excluded from German schools.11/28/38: Jews banned from certain locations, given a curfew.12/3/38: Jewish property mandated by law to be taken and sold.2/21/39: Confiscation of gold and all valuables owned by Jews.3/4/39: Forced labor of Jews required by law.4/30/39: Jewish districts (ghettos) established.9/1/41: All Jews over age 6 required by law to wear a Star of David visible on their clothes.4/17/42: All Jewish apartments marked with Star of David.4/17/42: Jews prohibited from using public transportation.5/15/42: Jews prohibited from owning pets.10/9/42: Jews prohibited from buying books.7/1/43: Jews denied protection of court system and put under jurisdiction of Nazi Police.The book recounts the ghastly horrors committed by an arrogant, Godless government and society. (Not only did the Nazis hate the Jewish religion, they also hated the Christian religion for its "Jewish" Old Testament and its New Testament filled with a Jewish Savior.They hated the idea of the Universal Fatherhood of God. They could not bear to share a god with the Jews since Nazi redemption was through their "Aryan" blood. Quoting Dr. Alfred Rosenberg's 1934 Myth of the Twentieth Century, Rosenberg noted of the Germans, "... the personality of Jesus was laden with the filth of near eastern Jewish and African life." (BB, p.36.) Quoting German professor Ernst Bergmann, "Christianity is indeed an unhealthy and unnatural religion which is at an end. It is the greatest nonsense that the [German People] should borrow its revelation from the Jews... For the Bible is a literary document of an alien religion... Help the German Religion of the German people to build up a German Church. National Socialist and Christian ethics are irreconcilable contradictions." (BB, p.36.)This book teaches us to beware the gov't and society that doesn't embrace Christian values but rather scapegoats/excludes/silences/shadow bans/demonizes those it disagrees with. Hatred leads to murder. The nazis claimed they had "science" on their side proving they were a "superior" race and by that right could kill/destroy other "lesser" races.This book stands as a stark reminder to be on God's side and treat every human as created in God's holy image.
