Nazi Eugenics
Conceived as the answer to all of mankind's seemingly insoluble health and social problems, and promoted as a substitute for orthodox religious beliefs, the pseudoscience of eugenics recruited disciples in many countries during the latter years of the nineteenth and early years of the twentieth centuries. Nowhere was this doctrine more enthusiastically endorsed than in Germany, where the application of eugenic theory received its most fervent support. A program born of what were often contradictory opinions began, under Nazi rule, with the compulsory sterilization of thousands of Germany's citizens before morphing into the mass murder of the most vulnerable of the state's own population unde...

The traumatic surreal
The traumatic surreal is the first major study to examine the ground-breaking role played by Germanophone women artists working in surrealist traditions in responding to the traumatic events and legacies of the Second World War. Analysing works in a variety of media by leading artists and writers, the book redefines the post-war trajectories of surrealism and recalibrates critical understandings of the movement’s relations to historical trauma. Chapters address artworks, writings and compositions by the Swiss Meret Oppenheim, the German Unica Zürn, the Austrian Birgit Jürgenssen, the Luxembourg-Austrian Bady Minck and the Austrian Olga Neuwirth and her collaboration with fellow Austrian Nobel-prize winning novelist Elfriede Jelinek. Locating each artist in their historical context, the book traces the development of the traumatic surreal through the wartime and post-war period.

Empire of Destruction
The first comparative, comprehensive history of Nazi mass killing – showing how genocidal policies were crucial to the regime’s strategy to win the war Nazi Germany killed approximately 13 million civilians and other non-combatants in deliberate policies of mass murder, mostly during the war years. Almost half the victims were Jewish, systematically destroyed in the Holocaust, the core of the Nazis’ pan-European racial purification programme. Alex Kay argues that the genocide of European Jewry can be examined in the wider context of Nazi mass killing. For the first time, Empire of Destruction considers Europe’s Jews alongside all the other major victim groups: captive Red Army soldiers, the Soviet urban population, unarmed civilian victims of preventive terror and reprisals, the mentally and physically disabled, the European Roma and the Polish intelligentsia. Kay shows how each of these groups was regarded by the Nazi regime as a potential threat to Germany’s ability to successfully wage a war for hegemony in Europe. Combining the full quantitative scale of the killings with the individual horror, this is a vital and groundbreaking work.
Revival of the West
This book deconstructs the myth of progressive liberalism. The author explores left-wing ideals of equality, diversity, social justice and open society, and exposes them as empty fiction. The fate of modern civilization rests solely on the shoulders of men and women willing to defend it. After the European colonial age, the discovery of the New World, the Industrial Revolution and the establishment of the modern West, Western man has arrived at a crisis. Has he exhausted himself like Goethe's Faust? Should he end his quest for greatness and let others take charge of the world he built? Should he dissolve his ego and hide himself in the safe comfort of anonymous masses? Or should he, at long ...
Империя истребления: История массовых убийств, совершенных нацистами
Возможно, самая тяжелая книга из всех, посвященных сути гитлеровского режима и ответственности немцев. Британский историк Алекс Кей доказывает, что умерщвление людей, принадлежащих к некоторым этническим и социальным группам, было в нацистской Германии не побочным продуктом репрессивной политики, но главным. Автор объясняет, как режим выбирал своими жертвами конкретные этниче...
Sites of Conscience
Into the twenty-first century, millions of disabled people and people experiencing mental distress were segregated from the rest of society and confined to residential institutions. Deinstitutionalization – the closure of these sites and integration of former residents into the community – has become increasingly commonplace. But this project is unfinished. Sites of Conscience explores use of the concept of sites of conscience, which involves place-based memory activities such as walking tours, survivor-authored social histories, and performances and artistic works in or generated from sites of systemic suffering and injustice. These activities offer new ways to move forward from the unfinished deinstitutionalization project and its failures. Covering diverse national contexts, this volume proposes that acknowledging the memories and lived experiences of former residents – and keeping histories and social heritage of institutions alive rather than simply closing sites – holds the greatest potential for recognition, accountability, and action.
Kom in verzet!
De auteur schreef de artikelen in deze bundel tussen 2014 en 2017 uit frustratie over diverse demografische ontwikkelingen in Nederland en in Europa. Ze zijn gegroepeerd in hoofdstukken op basis van thema’s als immigratie, integratie, maatschappij en economie, niet op volgorde van tijd.De afgelopen have eeuw is de Nederlandse Staat het grootste blok aan het been van de burger geworden. Een kantelpunt komt in zicht, het punt waarop burgers zich van de staat zullen afkeren, omdat de lasten groter zijn geworden dan de baten. Ongeacht het staatsmantra dat iedereen gelijk is, kan niet iedereen gelijk verdienen aan de globalisering. Een grote groep mensen, gebonden aan het land, kan amper van open grenzen profiteren, terwijl een veel kleinere groep kosmopolieten via Kaaiman-constructies zich op kosten van het volk weet te verrijken. Het volk is melkkoe én zondebok en staat alleen tegenover een parasitaire bovenklasse, medeplichtige politici en opportunistische media. Dat kan enkel tot burgeropstand leiden.
