Observers
From: History's People
$7.80
In this chapter, MacMillan examines humanity’s desire to observe, discussing diaries and memoirs. She focuses on two remarkable witnesses: Count Harry Kessler, whose fifty-year diary captured Europe’s golden age and collapse from 1880 to 1937, and Victor Klemperer, whose detailed account of life under
the Nazis in Dresden reveals the slow dawn of the Final Solution.
