Dachau
Marcus Smith was the sole medical officer attached to a small displaced person (DP) team that was sent to the Dachau concentration camp the day after it was liberated by Allied troops and several days before the shocking conditions of the camp were publicized throughout the world. Several years after his experience at Dachau, believing that we must never forget what happened, Smith unearthed his notes and the daily letters he wrote to his wife and used them as source materials for Dachau: The Harrowing of Hell. From the perspective of a young physician, Smith describes his experiences, shedding light on the immense difficulties and complexities of the large-scale tasks the small DP team comp...
Die 50er Jahre im Landkreis Dachau
Die 50er Jahre waren eine Zeit des Aufbruchs. Die ersten Nachkriegsjahre waren vorbei, die Trümmer weggeräumt, die Flüchtlinge und Heimatvertriebenen untergebracht. Man wandte sich der Zukunft zu. Eine hoffnungsvolle Epoche begann, die als „Wirtschaftswunder“ in die Geschichte einging. Viele Menschen verdienten mehr und konnten sich etwas leisten: ein Auto, ein Badezimmer, einen Fernsehapparat und vielleicht noch einen Urlaub in Italien. „Wir sind wieder wer“ war das neue Lebensgefühl nach dem Sieg bei der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft in Bern 1954. Das Wirtschaftswunder hatte Auswirkungen auf viele Lebensbereiche: In der Landwirtschaft übernahm der Traktor die Feldarbeit, viele Do...
Legacies of Dachau
Auschwitz, Belsen, Dachau. These names still evoke the horrors of Nazi Germany around the world. This 2001 book takes one of these sites, Dachau, and traces its history from the beginning of the twentieth century, through its twelve years as Nazi Germany's premier concentration camp, to the camp's postwar uses as prison, residential neighborhood, and, finally, museum and memorial site. With superbly chosen examples and an eye for telling detail, Legacies of Dachau documents how Nazi perpetrators were quietly rehabilitated to become powerful elites, while survivors of the concentration camps were once again marginalized, criminalized and silenced. Combining meticulous archival research with an encyclopedic knowledge of the extensive literatures on Germany, the Holocaust, and historical memory, Marcuse unravels the intriguing relationship between historical events, individual memory, and political culture, to offer a unified interpretation of their interaction from the Nazi era to the twenty-first century.

Between Mass Death and Individual Loss
"This volume explores the tension between mass death and individual loss by linking long-term patterns of mourning, burial, and grief with the short-term cataclysmic violence unleashed by two world wars. How various "cultures of death" shaped the broader historical relationship between the living and the dead in modern Germany is the main concern of this book. It contributes to a history of death in Germany that does not begin and end with the Third Reich."--BOOK JACKET.
