Was the lack of concern for Nazi victims only because of the Terror? No, says Lawrence Rees, who interviewed people from diverse backgrounds for his recent documentary, ‘The Nazis: A Warning from History’. Erna Kranz, an ordinary German teenager in the 1930s and a grandmother now, said to Rees: ‘1930s offered a glimmer of hope, not just for the unemployed but for everybody, for we all felt downtrodden. From my own experience, I could say salaries increased, and Germany seemed to have regained its sense of purpose. I could only say for myself, I thought it was a good time. I liked it.’
