 The phrase "ein Volk von Dämonen" (translated "a people/nation of demons") was often used by the Nazis to describe Jews, and the title of the cover story was meant by Rudolf Augstein and the editors of "Der Spiegel" to suggest a moral equivalence between the Nazi view of Jews and Goldhagen's view of Germans.The most widely read German weekly newspaper "Die Zeit" published an eight-part series of opinions of the book before its German publication in August 1996.Goldhagen arrived in Germany in September 1996 for a book tour, and appeared on several television talk shows, as well as a number of sold-out panel discussions.
