Psychological "denazification"

Friends, Colleages,

I am hoping that some of you can suggest work that traces the fate of deep identification (tribal/belonging) with Hitler/Nazi Germany over the decades after 1945.  I am aware of the Mitscherlichs' work and related.  I am looking for well detailed and documented work that goes subjectively deep re sustained  inability/unwillingness to move beyond psychological fusion (beyond ideology) with Hitler/nazism, perhaps over the course of a generation.  Maybe longer.

Thanks, best,

Hank Greenspan

Re: ROGER SIMON: Liberal "Jews Better Wake up..."

The above responses understandably ask whether in 2019 USA we should be leaping to analogies with the extermination camps. But I think Roger Simon's post is questionable also in its assumptions about German Jewry in the pre-Nazi period. Some years ago I wrote about the ways in which a narrative of complacency came to be applied to German Jews, and the possible psychological reasons behind it. The contemporaneous record suggests a different picture. The Jews most aware of the threat under the Nazis were the "liberal" Jews.
