For many Germans, Nazism seems to bring nothing but promise after a humbling defeat in World War I and economic depression. Josef Felder remembers the eve of Adolf Hitler's inauguration as Chancellor. The following day, the national socialists swept to power and the German people would take their first steps down a new road. Germans talk candidly about the initial seduction of Nazism; Gypsies reminisce about life before Hitler; and Jews recall their persecution as Hitler's "Master Race" pursued its destiny -- and descended to the greatest depths of barbarism in human history. What emerges is a powerful portrait of a nation -- and ideology -- gone awry. But Nazism's racial ideology produces unspeakable terror and atrocities that destroy the lives of millions.
