The association of Nazism with the symbol of ultimate evil - the
devil - can be found in the works of Klaus and Thomas Mann, Else
Lasker-Schuler, and Rolf Hochhuth. He appears either as Satan of
the Judeo-Christian tradition, or as Goethe's Mephisto. The devil
is not only a metaphor, but a central part of the historical
analysis. Barasch-Rubinstein looks into this phenomenon and
analyzes the premise that the image of the devil had a substantial
impact on Germans' acceptance of Nazi ideas. His diabolic
characteristics, the pact between himself and humans, and his
prominent place in German culture are part of the intriguing
historical observations these four German writers embedded in their
work. Whether writing before the outbreak of WWII, during the war,
or after it, when the calamities of the Holocaust were already
well-known, they all examine Nazism in the light of the ultimate
manifestation of evil.
