Johnson spent years of research in Germany meticulously combing through previously inaccessible court records, surveys, interviews and oral histories from men and women who lived through the Nazi's reign of terror. His research findings and conclusions are documented in his book. The Gestapo, Jews, and Ordinary Germans is a sober and penetrating examination of everyday German life under the Nazis. Johnson rejects the claim that virulent anti-semitism among ordinary Germans was solely responsible for their complicity in Nazi genocide. Although many ordinary Germans were indeed anti-semitic, they cooperated with the Nazis in mass murder for a whole host of reasons.
