The Making of a Nazi
Angell, Norman | December 13, 1941 issue

add to cart   close window

This article literally criticizes the book "Education for Death," by Gregor Ziemer. To understand the gravity of his revelations one must consider quite seriously-and this is very seldom done-the basic proposition of Nazism, which is that effective voluntary cooperation on a basis of equality between distinct and differing human groups has been proved by long and bitter experience to be a psychological impossibility for men The method the book describes is succeeding. Millions of youngsters are acquiring a "passion for death" if it be death for the cause of Nazidom, a passion like that of the Moslem fanatic in a holy war; but the Nazi fanatic is a terribly efficient, disciplined fanatic.
