22. Throughout the 1930s, Lefebvre worked on a companion volume to La
Conscience Mystifiée called La Conscience Privée; the two texts were to be
part and parcel of a larger project titled Sciences des Idéologies. Alas, the
dialectical counterpart to the 1936 book was never completed. For years,
Lefebvre’s draft manuscript, which he dedicated to Norbert Guterman—
“reduced to silence the other side of the Atlantic”—was thought destroyed.
But it resurfaced in the 1950s, and republished editions of La Conscience
Mystifiée contain the fated text as an annex. A fascinating typescript version
of La Conscience Privée, bearing Lefebvre’s scribbled annotations,
can be glimpsed among Guterman’s archives at New York’s Columbia
University.

Nietzsche text, Lefebvre wrote a “balance-sheet” in Germany, detailing
five years of Hitler since the burning of the Reichstag, called Hitler au
pouvoir, bilan de cinq années de fascisme en Allemagne (1938), even analyzing
selections of Mein Kampf en route.
