Johnson concluded that the actions of Germany's Ge-
stapo officers were aimed at select groups of people for
the slightest of infractions. The rest of the German
people were exempt from these actions and maintained a
"deplorable" but "understandable" silence.
Johnson's research was motivated by a personal desire to
learn what his father – an Air Force fighter pilot who
was shot down over southern Austria in fall 1944 –
endured during his Nazi captivity.

Eric Johnson, a history professor at Central Michigan
University, will briefly describe his haunting experiences
during 10 years of research for a book that has received
critical acclaim by media throughout the United States
and Europe.
Johnson interviewed hundreds of Germans and examined
nearly 30,000 previously inaccessible and largely
forgotten Third Reich records in the Rhineland area of
Germany. His exhaustive study led to a sobering discov-
ery: Most Germans knew about the deportation and
slaughter of Jews but were simply indifferent.
