1. Wages of Guilt
Also a good read on how Japan and Germany dealt with their actions in WWII and the impact on their societies...

2. Jaspers is one of my favorites.
He was in a German concentration camp, lined up for execution.

Doesn't he conclude that all Germans were guilty, implicitly or explicitly?

He also wrote "The Atomic Bomb and the Future of Mankind".

And I just can't stand Heidegger. What an asshole!
