During the 1970s, hundreds of thousands of people across Western Europe protested against civil nuclear energy. Nowhere were they more visible than in France and Germany-two countries where environmentalism seems to have diverged greatly since. This volume recovers the shared, transnational history of the early anti-nuclear movement, showing how low-level interactions among diverse activists led to far-reaching changes in both countries. Because nuclear energy was such a multivalent symbol, protest against it was simultaneously broad-based and highly fragmented. 'Concerned citizens' in communities near planned facilities felt that nuclear technology represented an outside intervention that p...

Der Skandal um die Hitler-Tagebücher beschäftigte 1983 nicht nur die Bundesrepublik, sondern wurde weltweit beachtet. Das Magazin "Stern" hatte Auszüge aus den vermeintlichen Tagebüchern Adolf Hitlers veröffentlicht. Man trat mit dem Deutungsanspruch an die Öffentlichkeit, dass von nun an die NS-Geschichte "in großen Teilen neu geschrieben werden" müsse, und löste damit einen Sturm an Entrüstung aus. Hier setzt Sebastian Barths Untersuchung an: Adolf Hitler wurde im "Stern" sowie in einem "Stern-TV"-Film verharmlosend dargestellt, und dieser Tabubruch in seinem geschichtskulturellen und historiographischen Kontext wie auch seine Rezeption in einer (geschichts-)politisch wie publizistisch aufgeheizten Lage zu Beginn der achtziger Jahre werden ausführlich analysiert.
