Hildesheim is a mid-sized provincial town in northwest Germany. Ordinary Germans in Extraordinary Times is a carefully drawn account of how townspeople went about their lives and reacted to events during the Nazi era. Andrew Stuart Bergerson argues that ordinary Germans did in fact make Germany and Europe more fascist, more racist, and more modern during the 1930's, but they disguised their involvement behind a pre-existing veil of normalcy. Bergerson details a way of being, believing, and behavior

"During the twentieth century, Germans experienced a long series of major and often violent disruptions in their everyday lives. Such chronic instability and precipitous change made it difficult for them to make sense of their lives as coherent stories--and for scholars to reconstruct them in retrospect. Ruptures in the Everyday brings together an international team of twenty-six researchers from across German studies to craft such a narrative. This collectively authored work of integrative scholarship investigates Alltag through the lens of fragmentary anecdotes from everyday life in modern Germany. Across ten intellectually adventurous chapters, this book explores the self, society, families, objects, institutions, policies, violence, and authority in modern Germany neither from a top-down nor bottom-up perspective, but focused squarely on everyday dynamics at work "on the ground."

Welche Bedeutung gewannen die Propaganda der »Volksgemeinschaft« und die massenhafte Bereitschaft zum Mitmachen in der NS-Diktatur für die Gesellschaftsgeschichte Deutschlands im 20. Jahrhundert?Der Band bietet eine aktuelle Bilanz der seit über zehn Jahren kontrovers geführten Debatte über die Bedeutung der »Volksgemeinschaft« als zentrales Propagandakonzept und prägende Denkfigur nationalsozialistischer Herrschaft. In rund 30 Beiträgen akzentuieren nationale und internationale Experten Sichtweisen auf dieses Untersuchungsfeld, diskutieren Praktiken des Mitmachens in der Diktatur und die Mechanismen nationalsozialistischer Herrschaftsstabilisierung. Indem das Verhalten breiter Bevölkerungsgruppen in den Blickpunkt rückt, wird die lange Zeit in der Forschung vertretene Konzentration auf eine Täter-Opfer-Perspektive überwunden und ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Gesellschafts- und Kulturgeschichte Deutschlands während der NS-Zeit geleistet.
