The Third Reich of Dreams: The Nightmares of a Nation 1933-1939

During the 30s, Nazi Germany's rise to totalitarian power was well under way. Warning signs of the terror to come was being felt by increasing numbers of people. Among them was a young woman of great courage & insight. Charlotte Beradt recorded & collected people's dreams about the Nazi government's domination of their lives; dreams telling of the painful political realities of the emerging Nazi State. In his essay at the conclusion of the volume, published in 1966, Bruno Bettelheim remarked it was a shocking experience reading this book of dreams & seeing how effectively the Nazis murdered sleep, "forcing its enemies to dream dreams that showed that resistance was impossible & safety lay only in compliance.
The Third Reich of dreams: how it began
Private lives remodeled: "life without walls"
Bureaucratic fairy tales: "nothing gives me pleasure anymore"
The everyday world by night: "so that I'll not even understand myself"
The non-hero: "& say not a word"
The chorus: "there's not a thing one can do"
When doctrines come alive: the dark in the Reich of the blond
Those who act: "you've just got to want to"
Disguised wishes: "destination heil Hitler"
Undisguised wishes: "this one we want"
And the dreams of Jews: "I make room for trash if need be"
An Essay by Bruno Bettelheim
