Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
The association of Nazism with the symbol of ultimate evil - the devil - can be found
in the works of Klaus and Thomas Mann, Else Lasker-Schüler, and Rolf Hochhuth. He
appears either as Satan of the Judeo-Christian tradition, or as Goethe's Mephisto.
Barasch-Rubinstein looks into this phenomenon and analyzes the premise that the image
of the devil had a substantial impact on Germans' acceptance of Nazi ideas
