Oberammergau in the Nazi Era
In her study of Oberammergau, the Bavarian village famous for its decennial passion play, Helena Waddy argues against the traditional image of the village as a Nazi stronghold.

She also shows that the play mirrored the Gospel-based anti-Semitism endemic to Western culture.

The Passion Play of Oberammergau
Excerpt from The Passion Play of Oberammergau: Translated From the German Text With an Historical Introduction The vital essence of the Oberammergau Passion Play is the spirit poured into the mod ified form - a Spirit dominating the social, economic, and intellectual life of the people; time alone will tell whether the communal ideal and whether the communal mission, which guard the minds and hearts of two thousand Bavarian peasants, will be able in isolated reverence to withstand the sufi'using forces of civilization; every decade opens the sluices, and the village of Ammergau has to meet the demands of a transitory and curious crowd.
