What was life like under Nazi control for people that weren't being persecuted?

by mickeymouse4348

i know Hitler revitalized Germanys economy after WWI, but were conditions so good that citizens turned a blind eye to concentration camps? or did they genuinely believe that the jewish population was responsible for their economic hardships? or were they just afraid to disagree for fear of being prosecuted themselves?

Viktor Klemperer, ww1 veteran and professor in Germany recalled standing in the early 30s to salute Hitler. He went on to become arguably the most dangerous man in the Third Reich...not because he ran a camp or joined the SS but because he was one of the few jews to survive the entire Holocaust Germany. That his expertise was in European intellectual history made him a observer of internal assent and occassional dissent. As a wearer of the star Klemperer was eye witness to both cruelty,usually by Hitler Youth , and acts of suicidal kindness. I am writing this on a phone so It's a mess.

Basically i consider Klempere an invaluable and underappreciated source of insight into everyday Germans during the Nazi period. As a diarist he and his wife risked their lives daily to preserve a record of what they saw and experienced ... Picture Anne Frank with a world class scholars perspective. His autobiography is I Will Bear Witness and should be required reading
