Goering's Man in Paris
A charged biography of a notorious Nazi art plunderer and his career in the postwar art world "[Petropoulos] brings Lohse into sharper focus, as a personality and axis point from which to explore a network of art dealers, collectors and museum curators connected to Nazi looting. . . . What emerges from Petropoulos's research is a portrait of a charismatic and nefarious figure who tainted everyone he touched."--Nina Siegal, New York Times "Readers of art history and WWII biographies will appreciate this engrossing deep dive into one of the world's most prolific art looters."--Publishers Weekly Bruno Lohse (1911-2007) was one of the most notorious art plunderers in history.

Dreams of Re-Creation in Jamaica
Diana Cooper-Clark has written a book that uncovers a ‘hidden’ history in the Holocaust narrative. The stories of seventeen Holocaust survivors who escaped to Jamaica and who are among the last eyewitnesses to the Shoah are inspiring. As well, she reveals the involvement of Jamaican Jews with the refugees and the Holocaust, and the virtually unknown story of the killing of Caribbean Jews in Nazi concentration camps. In addition, Dreams of Re-Creation in Jamaica has dozens of never before published photographs shared by the Jewish refugees. This book also sheds light on the Sephardim and their marginalization in the history of Hitler’s extermination policies. These compelling tales bring together World War II, Jewish refugees and Jamaican Jews, stories that have previously slipped through the cracks of history. As a child of six years old in Jamaica, Cooper-Clark read a book about the Nazi, Karl Eichmann, thus changing her life. She swore to spend the rest of her life bearing witness to the Holocaust. For everyone inspired by survival stories, and the triumph of life over death for both individuals and communities, this book is a must-read.

Roman Crucifixion and the Death of Jesus
The Roman practice of crucifixion was so abhorrent that even the Romans didn't talk about it. Yet their government practiced crucifixion for centuries. What drew the crowds to the killing fields to watch people die such torturous deaths? What enabled those elite soldiers in the Roman killing squads to crucify their victims with the precision and skill of a hospital surgeon? These and many other questions are answered in this book. Of the thousands of people who fell victim to "the most pitiable of deaths," one is much better known than all the others--Jesus of Nazareth. Most Christians know something of Jesus' crucifixion because of the Gospel narratives, but to enhance our appreciation of the Savior's death, we benefit by knowing more about Roman crucifixion. Roman Crucifixion and the Death of Jesus provides a deeper understanding of how, where, and why someone could be crucified and helps to inform us of Jesus' crucifixion. Armed with a better grasp of Roman crucifixion, we can more fully appreciate Jesus' pain, his purpose, and his prayers from Calvary's cross.

"Sonderbeauftragter des Führers"
Hermann Voss (1884-1969) gehèort zu den profiliertesten deutschen Kunsthistorikern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Leipzig, Berlin, Wiesbaden und Dresden waren Stationen seiner Museumskarriere. Verbunden bleibt sein Name jedoch mit der Tèatigkeit als Sonderbeauftragter Hitlers fèur das "Fèuhrermuseum" in Linz. Dieses Buch untersucht erstmals detailliert das Leben und Wirken des Kunsthistorikers und seine Verstrickung in den nationalsozialistischen Kunstraub, die schon lange vor seiner Ernennung zum "Sonderbeauftragten fèur Linz" begann. Voss hatte bereits als Direktor der Wiesbadener Gemèaldegalerie, deren Leitung er 1935 èubernahm, im Sinne des NS-Staates agiert und von der Beschlagnahme jèudischen Eigentums profitiert. Konsequenzen sollten sich fèur ihn nach Kriegsende daraus nicht ergeben. Voss verstarb 1969 in Mèunchen als geachteter Wissenschaftler und Gemèaldeexperte.
Aufbrüche
Die achte und neunte Folge von Historie, die zum ersten Mal in einem Doppelband erscheinen, werden von zwei Themen dominiert: „Aufbrüche ̋ und „Finis coronat opus ̋. Der erste Themenschwerpunkt bezieht sich auf die Ereignisgeschichte der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit in (Mittel)Europa. Wir beschäftigen uns mit dem Jahr 1945, mit dem, was auf die Einstellung der Kampfhandlungen folgte, und mit der Aufarbeitung dieses Zeitraums in der Historiografie. Im zweiten Themenschwerpunkt geht es um den Abschluss des größten deutsch-polnischen Wissenschaftsprojekts, um die DeutschPolnischen Erinnerungsorte | Polsko-niemieckie miejsca pamięci. Hier wagen wir einen Blick in die Zukunft der Gedächtnisforschung, insbesondere im Hinblick auf eine Didaktisierung und Weiterentwicklung dieses Forschungsgebiets.
