What We Knew: Terror, Mass Murder and Everyday Life in Nazi Germany by Eric Johnson, Karl-Heinz Reuband

What We Knew: Terror, Mass Murder and Everyday Life in Nazi Germany is by the American historian Eric Johnson and the German sociologist Karl-Heinz Reuband. First published by Perseus Books in the United States, this is the first UK edition, published as a trade paperback by John Murray (Publishers), a division of Hodder Headline, in London in 2005. The full number line shows it is a first printing.

What We Knew is built around the testimony of people who lived through the Third Reich. Johnson and Reuband combine in-depth interviews with Jewish survivors and with ordinary non-Jewish Germans, together with extensive survey data, to explore everyday life under Hitler: how much people feared the Gestapo, how they came to hear of the deportations and killings, and how widely knowledge of the Holocaust spread while it was happening.

Condition – Very Good

What We Knew – A very good copy of the John Murray trade paperback. The covers are clean and bright with no tears or marks, and the spine is square and uncreased, with no reading lines. The page edges are clean, with light age toning to the paper. There is a slight outward curl to the front cover at the top corner; otherwise this is a tidy, apparently lightly read copy.
