The People's Dictatorship
In this up-to-date, succinct, and highly readable volume, Alan E. Steinweis presents a new synthesis of the origins, development, and downfall of Nazi Germany. After tracing the intellectual and cultural origins of Nazi ideology, the book recounts the rise and eventual victory of the Nazi movement against the background of the struggling Weimar Republic. The book details the rapid transformation of Germany into a dictatorship, focusing on the interplay of Nazi violence and the readiness of Germans to accommodate themselves to the new regime. Steinweis chronicles Nazi efforts to transform German society into a so-called People's Community, imbued with hyper-nationalism, an authoritarian spirit, Nazi racial doctrine, and antisemitism. The result was less a People's Community than what Steinweis calls a People's Dictatorship – a repressive regime that acted brutally toward the targets of its persecution, its internal opponents, and its foreign enemies even as it enjoyed support across much of German society.
German Jews and Migration to the United States, 1933–1945
German Jews and Migration to the United States, 1933–1945 is a collection of first-person accounts, many previously unpublished, that document the flight and exile of German Jews from Nazi Germany to the USA,. The authors of the letters and memoirs included in this collection share two important characteristics: They all had close ties to Munich, the Bavarian capital, and they all emigrated to the USA, though sometimes via detours and/or after stays of varying lengths in other places of refuge. Selected to represent a wide range of exile experiences, these testimonies are carefully edited, extensively annotated, and accompanied by biographical introductions to make them accessible to readers, especially those who are new to the subject. These autobiographical sources reveal the often-traumatic experiences and consequences of forced migration, displacement, resettlement, and new beginnings. In addition, this book demonstrates that migration is not only a process by which groups and individuals relocate from one place to another but also a dynamic of transmigration affected by migrant networks and the complex relationships between national policies and the agency of migrants.
Deportations in the Nazi Era
During the Nazi era, about three million Jews – half the victims of the Holocaust – were deported from the German Reich, the occupied territories, as well as Nazi-allied countries, and sent to ghettos, camps, and extermination centers. The police and the SS also deported tens of thousands of Sinti and Roma, mainly to the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp, where most of them were killed. Deportations were central to National Socialist persecution and extermination. In November 2020, an international conference organized by the Arolsen Archives focused on the various historical sources, their research potential, and (digital) methods of cataloging them. It also explored new (systematizing and comparative) approaches in historical research. This volume features over 20 contributions by scholars from different countries and with a variety of perspectives and questions. The main geographical focus is on deportations from the German Reich and German-occupied Southeastern Europe.

Das Siegel des letzten Templers
Ein alter Mann wird auf offener Straße brutal ermordet. Christian Roth, ein renommierter Experte für mittelalterliche Ritterorden, gerät schnell ins Fadenkreuz der Ermittler, da das Mordopfer kurz vor seinem unnatürlichen Tod Kontakt mit ihm aufgenommen hat. Das Motiv für die Tat ist eine kleine, unscheinbare Antiquität; ein goldenes Siegel, das mit dem Orden der Tempelritter in Verbindung zu stehen scheint, aber nicht zur offiziellen Geschichtsschreibung passen will. Christian Roth sieht sich plötzlich den strengen Ermittlungen der Polizei und einem wahnsinnigen Serienmörder gegenüber, der nicht davor zurückschreckt, für das Siegel über Leichen zu gehen. Wird es Christians gelingen, seine Unschuld zu beweisen, und hinter das Geheimnis des Siegels zu kommen, bevor er selbst zum Opfer des unbekannten Killers wird?
