    Expanding on this…I read some of Klemperer’s “Language of the Third Reich” years and years ago and it’s some fascinating stuff, but a fairly dry scholarly read if I remember correctly. On the other hand, his diaries published in 3 volumes under the title “I Will Bear Witness” are a gripping, insightful, and sadly relatable account of Germany’s descent into fascism while everyone walked around pretending everything was fine. Highly recommended.
