Cities have been reduced to rubble and more than half of the population are where they do not belong or do not want to be. How can a functioning society ever emerge from this chaos?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn bombed-out Berlin, Ruth Andreas-Friedrich, journalist and member of the Nazi resistance, warms herself by a makeshift stove and records in her diary how a frenzy of expectation and industriousness grips the city. The Americans send Hans Habe, an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist and US army soldier, to the frontline of psychological warfare - tasked with establishing a newspaper empire capable of remoulding the minds of the Germans. The philosopher Hannah Arendt returns to the country she fled to find a population gripped by a manic loquaciousness, but faces a deafening wall of silence at the mention of the Holocaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAftermath is a nuanced panorama of a nation undergoing monumental change. 1945 to 1955 was a raw, wild decade poised between two eras that proved decisive for Germany's future - and one starkly different to how most of us imagine it today. Featuring black and white photographs and posters from post-war Germany - some beautiful, some revelatory, some shocking - Aftermath evokes an immersive portrait of a society corrupted, demoralised and freed - all at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Secret Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989937074521,"sku":"2723","price":6.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/8921\/4278\/files\/AftermathLifeintheFalloutoftheThirdReich_HaraldJahner.jpg?v=1721382277","url":"https:\/\/www.thesecretbookstore.live\/products\/aftermath-life-in-the-fallout-of-the-third-reich-harald-jahner","provider":"The Secret Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
