In Hitler's Munich

This compelling account explores how Munich, after World War I, became a breeding ground for right-wing extremism and anti-Semitism, ultimately shaping the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi movement. Brenner examines the city's transformation into a hub of radical activity, detailing the events leading up to Hitler’s failed Beer Hall Putsch and the measures taken by Munich's Jewish community in response. Drawing on new archival material, the book sheds light on how Munich evolved into "the city of Hitler," providing crucial context for understanding the origins of Nazism and the Holocaust.
