Hitler's Professors
This classic book examines the role of leading scholars, philosophers, historians, and scientists—in Hitler’s rise to power and eventual war of extermination against the Jews. Written in 1946 by one of the greatest scholars of European Jewish history and culture, it is now reissued with a new introduction by the prominent historian Martin Gilbert."Dr. Weinreich's main thesis is that ‘German scholarship provided the ideas and techniques that led to and justified unparalleled slaughter.’. . . In its implications and honest presentation of the facts [this book] constitutes the best guide to the nature of Nazi terror that I have read so far."—Hannah Arendt, Commentary"Mr. Weinreich's b...
Alsace to the Alsatians?
The region of Alsace, located between the hereditary enemies of France and Germany, served as a trophy of war four times between 1870-1945. With each shift, French and German officials sought to win the allegiance of the local populace. In response to these pressures, Alsatians invoked regionalism--articulated as a political language, a cultural vision, and a community of identity--not only to define and defend their own interests against the nationalist claims of France and Germany, but also to push for social change, defend religious rights, and promote the status of the region within the larger national community. Alsatian regionalism however, was neither unitary nor unifying, as Alsatians themselves were divided politically, socially, and culturally. The author shows that the Janus-faced character of Alsatian regionalism points to the ambiguous role of regional identity in both fostering and inhibiting loyalty to the nation. Finally, the author uses the case of Alsace to explore the traditional designations of French civic nationalism versus German ethnic nationalism and argues for the strong similarities between the two countries' conceptions of nationhood.
Walter de Gruyter
Der Wissenschaftsverlag Walter de Gruyter agierte wahrend der NS-Herrschaft uberaus erfolgreich. Angelika Konigseder zeigt, wie er unter der Fuhrung von Herbert Cram die ideologische Neuausrichtung von Staat und Gesellschaft akzeptierte, daran partizipierte und erheblich davon profitierte. Der deutschnational gesinnte Herbert Cram war kein Nationalsozialist, das hinderte ihn aber nicht daran, sich als Verleger mit den neuen Machthabern zu arrangieren. Der Verlag bemuhte sich einerseits darum, die Qualitatsstandards eines wissenschaftlichen Universalverlages aufrecht zu erhalten, suchte aber zugleich die Nahe zu staatlichen Institutionen und dort angesehenen Wissenschaftlern. Die Geschaftspolitik des Verlages Walter de Gruyter unterschied sich damit nicht von der vieler anderer mittelstandischer Unternehmen im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland.
