After Nazism
None
Flight and Concealment
Between ten thousand and twelve thousand Jews tried to escape Nazi genocide by going into hiding. With the help of Jewish and non-Jewish relatives, friends, or people completely unknown to them, these "U-boats," as they came to be known, dared to lead a life underground. Flight and Concealment brings to light their hidden stories. Deftly weaving together personal accounts with a broader comparative look at the experiences of Jews throughout Germany, historian Susanna Schrafstetter tells the story of the Jews in Munich and Upper Bavaria who fled deportation by going underground. Archival sources and interviews with survivors and with the Germans who aided or exploited them reveal a complex, often intimate story of hope, greed, and sometimes betrayal. Flight and Concealment shows the options and strategies for survival of those in hiding and their helpers, and discusses the ways in which some Germans enriched themselves at the expense of the refugees.
Authenticity and Victimhood after the Second World War
This edited collection explores memories and experiences of genocide, civilian casualties, and other atrocities that occurred after the Second World War.
Politische Justiz, Herrschaft, Widerstand
Der Band vereinigt zwölf Beiträge des am 4. März 2019 ebenso früh wie unerwartet verstorbenen Historikers Jürgen Zarusky. Darunter befinden sich mehrere bislang unveröffentlichte Manuskripte. Die Texte spiegeln die zentralen wissenschaftlichen und politischen Themenfelder, mit denen sich der Chefredakteur der Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte auseinandergesetzt hat: politische Justiz, nationalsozialistische und stalinistische Herrschaft sowie Widerstand und Verfolgung. Als maßgebliches methodisches Instrumentarium dient dabei der Diktaturvergleich. Quer dazu liegt mit der Erinnerungspolitik eine weitere Thematik, die für Jürgen Zarusky stets von großer Bedeutung war, betrachtete er den Beruf des Zeithistorikers doch auch als politische Profession. Andreas Wirsching leitet den Band mit einer Würdigung der wissenschaftlichen Persönlichkeit Jürgen Zaruskys ein.

Quantifying Resistance
This book presents and uses a major, new database of the most serious forms of internal resistance to the Nazi state to study empirically the whole phenomenon of resistance to an authoritarian regime. By studying serious political resistance from a quantitative historical perspective, the book opens up a new avenue of research for economic history. The database underpinning the book was painstakingly compiled from official state records of treason and/or high treason tried before the German People’s Court (Volksgerichtshof) between 1933 and 1945. It brings together material on resistance groups stored in the archives of the Federal Republic of Germany and Austria with previously inaccessib...
