a sense of joy and then a panic

For individual works, I think this is pretty limited, honestly. Now, if they are individual works being used by the Nazis to educate their recruits or something, things can get ugly, but then it's a social movement that they're only a tool of. I think individual works can play on people's suspicions and resentments and jealousies, but it seems like most people who are so swayed by just a book or two or something are people who are a little slow/crazy to begin with, and end up being Holocaust deniers or something.
