Following their occupation by the Third Reich, Warsaw and Minsk
became home to tens of thousands of Germans. In this exhaustive
study, Stephan Lehnstaedt provides a nuanced, eye-opening portrait
of the lives of these men and women, who constituted a surprisingly
diverse population-including everyone from SS officers to civil
servants, as well as ethnically German city residents-united in its
self-conception as a "master race." Even as they acclimated to the
daily routines and tedium of life in the East, many Germans engaged
in acts of shocking brutality against Poles, Belarusians, and Jews,
while social conditions became increasingly conducive to systematic
mass murder.

Bevolkerung. Vor allem aber sucht er nach Erklarungen fur die
Wahrnehmung und Legitimierung der Gewalt gegen Polen, Weissrussen
und Juden."
