The Nazi "State"
Fried, Hans Ernest | January 30, 1943 issue

This article focuses on the book "The Nazi State," by William Ebenstein. The author clarifies the basic anomalies of Nazism by "translating" them into the categories of accepted political institutions, taking great care, however, to show how much the meaning of these institutions has been twisted by that regime. He describes, for example, how "the citizen has been deprived of protection against illegal acts of officials." But he makes it clear that a Nazi "citizen" is not an equal among equals but a person who keeps a precarious place in a hierarchy of varying levels of inequality.
