Nazism Indicted
', ATM:111.AM..
By Karl
Foreword by Lincoln Metre.. Pub •
linked by Farrar & Rinehart, 232 Matil-
eon Aye., New fork (12,50).
Chapter by chapter, this book,
one of the most passionate indict-
ments of the Nazi regime, was
smuggled out of Germany for pub-
lication in this country.
The given name of the author
is the pseudonym of a non-Jewish
Communist who worked with the
under-ground anti-Nazi machine in
1933, was captured, sent to a con-
centration camp, released after
eight months, resumed his revolu-
tionary work and wrote this book.
"Fatherland" is the story of the
Third Reich during the first year
of its rise to power. It describes
the horrors perpetrated against the
Jews, Communists and Social
Democrats. It goes a step further
by throwing out a suggestion of
the kind of oppression that we may
expect here if Fascism should ever
invade America. Because of the
effective way in which the problem
is dealt with, "Fatherland" proves
an effective propaganda weapon
against Fascist possibilities in
America.
An excellent literary style marks
this volume in the pages of which
is incorporated the story of the
rise of the most cruel machine in
history. The sudden transforma-
tion of Germany, under the rule
of Hitler and his cohorts, into a
country of horror is pictured by
this eye-witness who tells how' he
was dragged off to a concentration
camp, beaten, subjected to agon-
izing pain, revived after every sign
of unconsciousness to be beaten
and tortured again.
Closing with an optimistic note
of certainty that righteousness
must triumph. Karl Billinger's
book is • powerful record of in-
justice and an important instru-
ment in fighting the spread of the
German terror.
Interesting and important is
Lincoln Steffens foreword to this
story. Mr. Steffens states:
"A very simple narrative, this
vivid book tells with tight-lipped,
unexpressed emotion just what
happened in Germany to one man
who suffered as much as any other
German probably. He was not ■
middle-class Jew, he was a Com-
munist worker, and the Commu-
nists are the worst hated of all
men by the Nazis. You can see
here the reason for this. Commu-
nism is the opposite to the Fas-
cists' way: the Communists are the
most dangerous of all people to the
Fascists; and the Communists are
the hardest to conquer. This man,
for example, was sent to one of
the Fascist prisons in Berlin and
he was tortured there, en masse:
then to a concentration camp and
tortured there, en masse. Indeed
this is his whole story told in mov-
ing detail, except that he did not
yield or peach, but held silently,
grimly, to the line of his convic-
tion, and when he was released
went back to work with his party,
to Communism!"
