Moral Responsibility in the Holocaust
Discusses the question of the moral responsibility of individuals involved in the Holocaust: perpetrators, collaborators, victims, and bystanders. Rejects the view that an individual's need to establish his place in a society with a bad political culture (such as Nazi Germany) absolves him of guilt for participation in genocide. The individual can adapt flexibly and selectively to the majority political culture. No political culture diminishes a person's capacity to know right from wrong. Reflects on the blameworthiness of Hitler and of rank-and-file perpetrators for the Holocaust. Contesting Hilberg's views, contends that the victims cannot be blamed for passivity or collaboration. Discusses the moral aspects of the help or lack of help given by non-Jews to Jewish victims. Believes that study of the Holocaust can lead to political and moral lessons that could prevent future holocausts.
Albert Speer
A critical reassessment of the career and memoirs of Albert Speer argues that Speer presented a precisely crafted falsification of his role in the Third Reich, offering an unsparing portrait of the quintessential Nazi politician
Albert Speer
Albert Speer remains the most mysterious character of the leadership of the Nazi regime. He was the chief architect of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler’s confidant. Speer built the “Reichskanzlei” (official offices), discovered the “Lightdome” and was finally, in 1942, named as the minister for arms. But he characterised himself as apolitical, called Hitler’s hatred of Jews an anomaly, and the conspirators of the 20th July placed Speer’s name on their cabinet list. Here at last are the memoirs of the mysterious Albert Speer, the “good Nazi” Joachim Fest’s records of conversations with Speer provide a fascinating insight into the psyche of Hitler’s architect This book is a vital contribution towards the understanding of the psychology of the national socialist leadership Fest has created a volume that provides a unique portrait of a member of the Nazi party until now clouded in mystery

Art as Politics in the Third Reich
The political elite of Nazi Germany perceived itself as a cultural elite as well. In Art as Politics in the Third Reich, Jonathan Petropoulos explores the elite's cultural aspirations by examining both the formulation of a national aesthetic policy
Rethinking Mendelssohn
Building on the renaissance in Mendelssohn scholarship of the last two decades, Rethinking Mendelssohn critically engages with the composer's music and aesthetics, as well as the interpretation of his works in relation to contemporaneous culture.
Advances in Production Management Systems. Towards Smart and Digital Manufacturing
The two-volume set IFIP AICT 591 and 592 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International IFIP WG 5.7 Conference on Advances in Production Management Systems, APMS 2020, held in Novi Sad, Serbia, in August/September 2020. The 164 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 199 submissions. They discuss globally pressing issues in smart manufacturing, operations management, supply chain management, and Industry 4.0. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: Part I: advanced modelling, simulation and data analytics in production and supply networks; advanced, digital and smart manufacturing; digital and virtual quality management systems; cloud-manufac...
International Review of Biblical Studies, Volume 54 (2007-2008)
Formerly known by its subtitle “Internationale Zeitschriftenschau für Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete”, the International Review of Biblical Studies has served the scholarly community ever since its inception in the early 1950’s. Each annual volume includes approximately 2,000 abstracts and summaries of articles and books that deal with the Bible and related literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, Non-canonical gospels, and ancient Near Eastern writings. The abstracts – which may be in English, German, or French - are arranged thematically under headings such as e.g. “Genesis”, “Matthew”, “Greek language”, “text and textual criticism”, “exegetical methods and approaches”, “biblical theology”, “social and religious institutions”, “biblical personalities”, “history of Israel and early Judaism”, and so on. The articles and books that are abstracted and reviewed are collected annually by an international team of collaborators from over 300 of the most important periodicals and book series in the fields covered.
Statistical Physics and Spatial Statistics
Modern physics is confronted with a large variety of complex spatial patterns. Although both spatial statisticians and statistical physicists study random geometrical structures, there has been only little interaction between the two up to now because of different traditions and languages. This volume aims to change this situation by presenting in a clear way fundamental concepts of spatial statistics which are of great potential value for condensed matter physics and materials sciences in general, and for porous media, percolation and Gibbs processes in particular. Geometric aspects, in particular ideas of stochastic and integral geometry, play a central role throughout. With nonspecialist researchers and graduate students also in mind, prominent physicists give an excellent introduction here to modern ideas of statistical physics pertinent to this exciting field of research.
