My motive for calling up the past once again, after the passage of these many years filled with monstrous events and vii VU1 PREFACE tragic collapses, is that I see in the over-simplified judgments of events in Germany a great danger for the future. Behind the events which took place in Germany before the war there is something which concerns us all...
