In this text, the German-born author, who escaped the Nazis, documents manifestations of what he calls "the Hitler virus." Wyden's contention is that 55 years after Adolf Hitler's death there are many in Germany, including academics, politicians, and other seemingly respectable citizens who secretly support the Nazi cause. Racially-motivated violence, intellectualized denial of the Holocaust, the success of far-right politicians, and the underground marketing of Nazi memorabilia are some of the evidence presented.
