The stories of the individual men and women who led German Social
Democracy's failed efforts to fend off the Nazi onslaught in 1933
have largely been lost in the wake of the cataclysmic war, the
Holocaust, and the division of Europe that followed Hitler's
victory. Confronting Hitler recovers their stories and places them
at center stage. In a series of biographical essays focusing on the
experiences of ten leading Social Democratic activists, Smaldone
examines their defeat in 1933 from the perspective of individuals
enmeshed in political struggle. This study reveals what aspects of
these activists' lives were most important in shaping their
political outlook during the republic's final crisis and it
illustrates the key factors that guided their actions in the effort
to keep the republic alive. In addition, the biographies raise the
important issue of the degree to which the defeat of German Social
Democracy in 1933 is comparable to the experiences of other
democratic socialist movements in the twentieth century.
