Evidence

Hardly ever, though, of what made the editors of The Times, Le Figaro, and other highly respected organs of enlightened opinion wax lyrical when they wistfully described Germany of the 1930s as the paragon of a civilized state, of prosperity, of social peace, of obedient and cooperative workers’ unions, of absence of street crime, of security and safety, of law and order; indeed, as an example for the wan and ineffective European democracies to follow. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 370
