Synopsis

Growing up in Germany, National Socialism is chewed over again and again. I spent three out of four semesters of high school history on it. Everyone agrees that 1) "we must never allow something like that to happen again" and 2) "I would have been in the resistance back then."

I find the latter laughable, but that's not what this is about. What has bothered me for a long time is the fact that we only focus on the crimes and the leadership without considering what the average citizen could have really done in the situation. Hitler did this, Himmler did that. Okay – and what would my grandfather have done if he found out about it?

Therefore, this short booklet is an attempt to consider what "human agency" people really had back then – and perhaps to learn lessons from it if you find yourself in a similar situation again, where the system tries by all means to prove to you that resistance is futile and there are no other options but to submit.
