Renata Zerner discusses Dance on the Volcano: A Teenage Girl in Nazi Germany. Zerner describes in detail the attitudes of young people and adults, including ethnic Germans influenced by the Nazi "religion," and how they dealt emotionally with the destruction around them, and the tension between the Nazi propaganda and the reality they had to face at the end of the war. Though she was not subjected to Nazi persecutions, she was old enough to grasp the horrific events during the Hitler regime that had a deep emotional impact on all Germans.
