Laurence Rees, former Head of BBC TV History programmes and author of several acclaimed books on the Second World War, joins us with the launch of his latest work: The Nazi Mind – 12 Warnings From History. He is a BAFTA winning historical documentary filmmaker and a British Book Award winning author of several books about Adolf Hitler, the Nazis and the atrocities they committed.
He questions how could the Nazis have committed the crimes they did? Why did the commandants of concentration and death camps willingly – often enthusiastically – oversee mass murder? How could ordinary Germans have tolerated the removal of the Jews? A captivating talk will discuss the motivation and the mentality behind the Nazis and their supporters.
This disturbing book is timely, relevant and important
