  The very near horizon regions of nonextremal black holes have a conformal
symmetry which is anomalous and spontaneously broken by the Rindler vacuum.
Therefore, these black holes can effectively be described by the pseudo
Goldstone bosons of conformal symmetry and their Schwarzian action which is
determined by the breakdown of the conformal symmetry to $SL(2)$. In Euclidean
gravity, the Schwarzian action leads to the Wald entropy of nonextremal black
holes. These results are consistent with the neutral limit of near extremal
charged black holes described by near $AdS_2$ space--times.
