In This Review In This Review Out of the Darkness: The Germans, 1942–2022This rich history traces the “moral transformation of Germany” from the depths of Nazism to its liberal present. Germans, Trentmann argues, turn “all social, economic and political problems into moral ones.” The book begins in 1942 with a description of how individual Germans resisted the growing sense of their culpability for World War II by insisting on their personal innocence.
