Remembering for the Future
Focused on 'The Holocaust in an Age of Genocide', Remembering for the Future brings together the work of nearly 200 scholars from more than 30 countries and features cutting-edge scholarship across a range of disciplines, amounting to the most extensive and powerful reassessment of the Holocaust ever undertaken. In addition to its international scope, the project emphasizes that varied disciplinary perspectives are needed to analyze and to check the genocidal forces that have made the Twentieth century so deadly. Historians and ethicists, psychologists and literary scholars, political scientists and theologians, sociologists and philosophers - all of these, and more, bring their expertise to bear on the Holocaust and genocide. Their contributions show the new discoveries that are being made and the distinctive approaches that are being developed in the study of genocide, focusing both on archival and oral evidence, and on the religious and cultural representation of the Holocaust.
Schicksale jüdischer Rechtsanwälte in Bayerisch-Schwaben zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus
Die Arbeit zeigt anhand der 16 in Bayerisch-Schwaben zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus tätigen Rechtsanwälte auf, wie jüdische Anwälte im Dritten Reich verfolgt wurden. Der Autor stellt dabei das Leben der Rechtsanwälte vor dem Nationalsozialismus dar sowie die einzelnen Schritte, wie die Verfolgten aufgrund des Gesetzes über die Zulassung zur Rechtsanwaltschaft und der Fünften Verordnung zum Reichsbürgergesetz zunächst ihre wirtschaftliche Existenz und anschließend entweder durch Flucht ihre Heimat oder durch die Shoah ihr Leben verloren. Darüber hinaus geht die Arbeit auf die Entschädigungsansprüche der Anwälte und ihrer Erben nach dem Nationalsozialismus ein.
The Nazi Party and the German Communities Abroad
The Nazi Party and the German Communities Abroad examines the German Nazi Party’s actions around the world in the 1930s and 1940s. The book particularly focuses in on the formation and development of the Auslandsorganization der NSDAP (AO) (Nazi Party/Foreign Organization), the party branch charged with the task of connecting with foreign fascist movements and, especially with Germans living abroad. The authors follow the creation of the AO and its development in Germany, along with its actions throughout the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa and North America, before finally focusing on Latin America. The Latin American case is then presented in both general and particular aspects, including countries such as Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. The study draws on many primary sources and is extensively referenced; an index with 700 references related to the action of Nazism in the American continent is presented, including the American and Canadian cases. This volume will be of interest to researchers of the history of Nazism and Latin America.

"An meine Gemeinde in der Zerstreuung"
Pp. 27-170 present an annotated edition of 18 circular letters sent by Jacob (1899-1974, formerly the rabbi of Augsburg, Germany) between 1941-49 from the USA to former congregants who had also left Germany. In these letters, Jacob shares information he acquired regarding the fate of the Jews in Augsburg and in the Schwaben region. In the introduction (pp. 5-19), Jacob's son, Walter Jacob, traces his father's life story. Ernst Jacob was born in Göttingen in 1899, grew up in Dortmund, and was appointed rabbi of Augsburg in 1929. Local Jews began to leave Germany in 1934, and during that year, in a first attempt to stay in touch, Jacob sent a New Year's greeting to them. In 1937, he sent out ...
"Halbjude" im Dritten Reich
Memoirs of Bernheim, a "Mischling" born in 1923 in Augsburg. His father Willy, a baptized Jew, was arrested in January 1933 because of a minor law concerning foreign currency and sentenced to two years in prison; his chemical factory was Aryanized. He was released in 1935 and divorced in 1938. He emigrated to France and, with the breakout of war, was interned in a camp. He chose to join the French Foreign legion, and after the German victory in 1940 did forced labor in the Sahara. He fled to Spain and then North Africa, where he joined another part of the French army, later absorbed in an American unit which landed at Normandy in June 1944. Erhard Bernheim, meanwhile, managed to finish high school in München, hiding his non-Aryan descent; in 1939 he was forced to join the Hitlerjugend. He then worked at a travel agency, where the manager helped him; however, in October 1944 he was sent by the Gestapo for forced labor in Thüringen. In January 1945 he escaped and returned to München, where he hid until the end of the war. His Jewish grandmother died in Theresienstadt.
