Between Conflict and Conformity: Freemasonry During the Weimar Republic and the "Third Reich" - Paperback

by Glenys a. Waldman (Translator), Ralf Melzer (Author)

Freemasonry during the Weimar Republic and the 'Third Reich'...One might ask, "Is that a chapter of forgotten persecution or a legend of persecution?" After extensive research in archives in Berlin, Moscow, and Washington, D.C., the author has determined that the answer would have to be: "Neither, nor; yet some of both." The history of the German Masonic lodges and their members in the Weimar Republic and the "Third Reich" is a story of conflict and conformity.
