Alone in Berlin (Penguin Modern Classics)

∗ Winter Relief Fund was a Nazi-organized charity collected during the winter months. Pressure to contribute was considerable, and armbands and pins were distributed for public display to identify donors – and thus, non-donors. Much of the money was syphoned off by the Party, and scholars have noted that it kept the populace short of extra cash and acclimated to the idea of privation.
