"The Nazi conscience is not an oxymoron. The perpetrators of genocide had a powerful sense of right and wrong, based on civic values that exalted the moral righteousness of the ethnic community and denounced outsiders. The Nazi Conscience chronicles the chilling saga of a media campaign so persuasive that it extinguished neighborliness, respect, and, ultimately, compassion for all those banished from the ethnic majority."--BOOK JACKET.
