This 1933 H. Boylston Dummer pictorial map of Nazi Germany is both fascinating and disturbing. Published a little less than two months after the passage of the Enabling Act on March 24, 1933 effectively made Hitler the dictator of Germany, Dummer's map presents the reality of life in Nazi Germany in the spring of 1933 while at the same time highlighting many of Germany's best cultural and historical attributes, with the stated goal of helping teachers present current events to their students. Illustrations of Hitler firing up an audience in a beer hall in Munich and of a Nazi detention camp near Munich (probably Dachau) appear alongside vignettes of Oberammergau's Passion Play, craftsmen building toys in Nuremberg, and people vacationing in the spa town of Baden-Baden. Einstein, Kant, and Schopenhauer are all drawn or referenced, while a celebratory Hitler speaks to a crowd in Potsdam next to a burning Reichstag. A photographic portrait of Hitler is also printed along the right border. (more details)
