Menno ter Braak (1902–1940). Leben und Werk eines Querdenkers
Als der niederländische Autor Menno ter Braak am 14. Mai, dem Tag der Kapitulation der niederländischen Armee, den Freitod wählte, markierte dies die Stunde Null der niederländischen Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts. Menno ter Braak, ein Kämpfer für Humanität und Wahrheit, stand in der Tradition von Erasmus und Multatuli. Bereits als junger Mann entwickelte er eine starke Verbundenheit mit Deutschland. Sein Geschichtsstudium schloss er mit einer Promotion über Kaiser Otto III. ab und setzte sich in den Niederlanden für das Werk Friedrich Nietzsches ein. Zugleich wurde er in seinem Heimatland der wichtigste Kritiker des Dritten Reichs und der Judenverfolgung. Mit seinem Œuvre schlägt er eine Brücke von Thomas Mann, dem er freundschaftlich verbunden war, zu Harry Mulisch, dem späteren niederländischen Zauberlehrling. Zusammen mit dem Historiker Johan Huizinga, einem Cousin Menno ter Braaks, gilt er als bedeutendster Non-Fiction-Autor der modernen niederländischen Literatur.

A Central European Synthesis of Radical and Magisterial Reform
Challenging the widespread classification of evangelical theologian Balthasar Hubmaier (1480-1528) as a Schleitheim-adhering Anabaptist, this book argues that Hubmaier should instead be understood as a bridge between the Radical and Magisterial branches of the Reformation and provides for a deeper understanding of one of the 16th century's most creative and sophisticated thinkers.
Europe's Crumbling Myths
A collection of interviews conducted by Gerstenfeld with Jewish historians and public figures. In a lengthy essay preceding the interviews (p. 10-90), "From the Aftermath of the Holocaust to Today's Antisemitism" [an abridged version appeared in "Jewish Political Studies Review" 14 (2002)], notes a number of issues relevant to assessing European postwar antisemitism: barriers placed in the way of survivors' reintegration into postwar society, problems related to financial and moral restitution, the reluctance of European states to punish war criminals and its relation to national myths that exculpate countries from responsibility for the Holocaust, the preservation or lack thereof of Holocaust memory and Holocaust education. Stresses the double standard adopted by European countries in regard to Israel, and antisemitism expressed in anti-Zionism. Presents brief reports on antisemitism in various countries and suggests that more research is needed to reveal connections between present and postwar antisemitism. Some of the interviews (which consist of quotes interspersed with Gerstenfeld's comments), were published previously. Contents:
The Seventh Window
1997 was an important year for Sint Janskerk in Gouda, as the Museo del Prado in Madrid asked to borrow the cartoon of the King's Window by Dirck Crabeth for the exhibition 'Felipe II. Un príncipe del Renacimiento'. Inspired by this event, it was decided to compile an anthology about the church's seventh window. Based on the many-facetted topic an international group of scholars from various disciplines studied the stained-glass window in depth as a crucial presentation of Philip II's Netherlandish and English years. An important step in current research into an enthralling era in European history of the sixteenth century.
