Es Geschah in Deutschland, by Lutz Graf Schwerin von Krosigk

- Abstract

Ulrich Von Hassel, a German diplomat who was executed by Hitler for his complicity in the assassination attempt of July 20, 1944, wrote in his posthumously published diaries: “Respectable people were shocked to read names like . . . Schwerin-Krosigk among the authors of the decree prescribing penalties for the Jews. These men apparently cannot see how they are degrading themselves. . . .”
