Hitler and the Collapse of Weimar Germany
From the decline of the Weimar government through the ascension of the Third Reich in January l933, a preeminent German historian takes a compelling look at the period after World War I and just prior to Hitler's Chancellorship, drawing on journals, newspaper accounts and Hitler's public statements. Broszat places in rare perspective Hitler's early activities and the strategic process by which the Nazi Party took control.
The Hitler State
Interpretative study of the Hitler state now available in English. An important contribution to the study of totalitarian states.
The Nazi Holocaust. Part 3: The "Final Solution". Volume 1
This edition is the first of its kind to offer a basic collection of facsimile, English language, historical articles on all aspects of the extermination of the European Jews. A total of 300 articles from 84 journals and collections allows the reader to gain an overview of this field. The edition both provides access to the immense, rich array of scholarly articles published after 1960 on the history of the Holocaust and encourages critical assessment of conflicting interpretations of these horrifying events. The series traces Nazi persecution of Jews before the implementation of the "Final Solution", demonstrates how the Germans coordinated anti-Jewish activities in conquered territories, and sheds light on the victims in concentration camps, ending with the liberation of the concentration camp victims and articles on the trials of war criminals. The publications covered originate from the years 1950 to 1987. Included are authors such as Jakob Katz, Saul Friedländer, Eberhard Jäckel, Bruno Bettelheim and Herbert A. Strauss.
Contending with Hitler
A distillation of recent scholarship on Germany's domestic resistance to the Nazi dictatorship.
The Devourers
A gentle blue February was slipping out when March tore in with screaming winds and rushing rains. He pushed the diffident greenness back, and went whistling rudely across the lands. The chilly drenched season stood still. One morning Spring peeped round the corner and dropped a crocus or two and a primrose or two. She whisked off again, with the wind after her, but looked in later between two showers. And suddenly, one day, there she was, enthroned and garlanded. Frost-spangles melted at her feet, and the larks rose. Valeria borrowed Edith's garden-hat, tied it under her chin with a black ribbon, and went out into the young sunshine across the fields. Around her was the gloss of recent gree...
Hitler, the Germans, and the Final Solution
This volume presents a comprehensive, multifaceted picture both of the destructive dynamic of the Nazi leadership and of the attitudes and behavior of ordinary Germans as the persecution of the Jews spiraled into total genocide.
The Invention of "functionalism"
Based on a lecture given at the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem on 21 November 2001. Contends that a structuralist explanation of the Nazi genocide of the Jews emerged in West German historiography already in the 1950s. At this stage, the essence of the controversy between intentionalists and functionalists was the question of responsibility: was it certain individuals who were to blame or was it the whole system, with the inevitable entanglement of some individuals? The latter explanation was consonant with the apologetic arguments of Nazi criminals who were brought to trial. Examines the controversy in 1963-66 between Josef Wulf and Martin Broszat of the Institute for Contemporary History in Munich. The controversy focused on whether Wilhelm Hagen, the wartime head of the Office of Public Health in Warsaw, should be regarded as a war criminal (bearing responsibility for the execution of Jewish doctors and Jews who left the ghetto "illegally") or as a victim of the system. Broszat and the entire Institute adopted the latter view.
The Twisted Road to Auschwitz
Going beyond the fanatical anti-Semitism of Hitler and his chiefs, Schleunes analyzes "the internal structure of the [Nazi] regime, the role of its bureaucracies, and the rivalries between competing power groups ... to trace the early stages of discrimination against Jews and their exclusion from public life that led ultimately to their deaths."--p.vii.
