Between conflict and conformity : Freemasonry during the Weimar Republic and the "Third Reich" / Ralf Melzer ; translated by Glenys A. Waldman.

"Freemasonry during the Weimar Republic and the "Third Reich" ...One might ask, "Is that a chapter of forgotten persecution or a legend of persecution?" After extensive research in archives in Berlin, Moscow, and Washington, D.C., the author has determined that the answer would have to be: "Neither, nor; yet some of both." The history of the German Masonic lodges and their members in the Weimar Republic and the "Third Reich" is a story of conflict and conformity."--P. [4] of Cover.
