Savitri Devi
Gold in the Furnace is an ardent National Socialist’s vivid and moving account of life in occupied Germany during the aftermath of World War II. Savitri Devi describes in vivid detail how German citizens were subjected to pogroms of imprisonment, starvation, and murder by their Allied “liberators.” Yet in spite of this disaster, Savitri did not view it as the end of National Socialism, but as a purification – a trial by fire separating the base metal from the gold – and a prelude to a new beginning.
