With a unique blend of nationalism, militarism, and racial theory, Adolf Hitler taught the German people to believe that they were the Master Race. Nazism's appeal hinged on its many perceived benefits, including full employment and farming initiatives, and its mass rallies, which brought people and Party together. Stirred by the Fuhrer's rousing rhetoric, millions were swept along by the excitement and promise of national socialism.

In Master Race, Germans talk candidly about the initial allure of Nazism; Gypsies reminisce about life before Hitler; and German Jews recall their persecution and interment in concentration camps across Eastern Europe as Hitler's master race pursued its destiny—and descended to the greatest depths of barbarism in human history.

The people remember: Hitler, book burning, assaults on Jews, the ghettos, the "Final Solution," concentration camps, Hitler Youth, the annexation of Austria.
