A Village in the Third Reich<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Julia Boyd<\/a>, Angelika Patel<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

New from the author of Travellers in the Third Reich<\/em>\u2014the Sunday Times Top Three bestseller and Waterstones Book of the Month: a stunningly evocative portrait of Hitler\u2019s Germany through the people of a single village.

Oberstdorf is a beautiful village high up in the Bavarian Alps, a place where for hundreds of years ordinary people lived simple lives while history was made elsewhere. Yet even here, in the farthest corner of Germany, National Socialism sought to control not only people\u2019s lives but also their minds.

Drawing on archive material, letters, interviews and memoirs, A Village in the Third Reich<\/em> is an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Germany under Hitler, of the descent into totalitarianism and of the tragedies that befell all of those touched by Nazism. In its pages we meet the Jews who survived\u2014and those who didn\u2019t; the Nazi mayor who tried to shield those persecuted by the regime; and a blind boy whose life was thought \u2018not worth living\u2019.

It is a tale of conflicting loyalties and desires, of shattered dreams, despair and destruction \u2013 but one in which, ultimately, human resilience triumphs.

These are the stories of ordinary lives at the crossroads of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
