En la mente nazi : 12 advertencias de la historia

A groundbreaking history that unravels the motivations and mindsets underlying the Nazis and their supporters. How could the Nazis commit the crimes they did? Why did concentration and extermination camp commanders willingly—often enthusiastically—oversee mass murder? How could ordinary Germans tolerate the elimination of the Jews? In *The Nazi Mind*, Laurence Rees combines history with the latest psychological research to help answer some of the most baffling questions surrounding World War II and the Holocaust: how and why these individuals were capable of committing the worst crime in human history. To do so, he draws on previously unpublished testimonies from Nazi party members and those who grew up under the Nazi regime, alongside deep psychological insights—including cutting-edge work on obedience, authority, and the brain. *The Nazi Mind* offers a new and revealing way to understand how so many people could commit the most atrocious crime of the twentieth century. Rees traces the rise and subsequent fall of the Nazis through the lens of "twelve warnings"—ranging from the rhetoric of "us" versus "them" to the escalation of racism—while highlighting the warning signs to watch for regarding today's leaders.
