Germans Against Germans
Among the many narratives about the atrocities committed against Jews in the Holocaust, the story about the Jews who lived in the eye of the storm—the German Jews—has received little attention. Germans against Germans: The Fate of the Jews, 1938–1945, tells this story—how Germans declared war against other Germans, that is, against German Jews. Author Moshe Zimmermann explores questions of what made such a war possible? How could such a radical process of exclusion take place in a highly civilized, modern society? What were the societal mechanisms that paved the way for legal discrimination, isolation, deportation, and eventual extermination of the individuals who were previously part and parcel of German society? Germans against Germans demonstrates how the combination of antisemitism, racism, bureaucracy, cynicism, and imposed collaboration culminated in "the final solution."
Wilhelm Marr
The creation of the term "anti-Semitism" a century ago signalled a turning point in the history of Jew-hatred, marking the division between the classical, Christian hatred of Jews and the modern, politically-rooted racist attitudes. This is the first biography of radical writer and politician Wilhelm Marr, the man who introduced the term "anti-Semitism" into politics and founded the first "Anti-Semitic League." Marr (1819-1904) began his political career as a democrat and revolutionary, fighting for the emancipation of all oppressed groups including the Jews. But when he became disillusioned with contemporary politics, Jews became the focus of his attack. Drawing on Marr's published and unpu...
On Germans and Jews Under the Nazi Regime
A member of the The Richard Koebner Minerva Center series, this unique volume, which is sure to engage the attention of both scholars and the general public, is an unparalleled cross-generational and international dialogue among eminent historians about three central aspects of the unfathomable enigma of the Holocaust. In the first section, beyond a seminal overview of sixty years of research, the writers reflect on historiography and historical thought ranging from contemporaries of the Third Reich to the ongoing discussion about the controversial role post-war West German historians played in Holocaust research. This is followed by a section focusing on social antisemitism until the 1950s ...
Vom Rhein an den Jordan
Tradierte Verbindungen, traumatisierende Erinnerungen: Israels gespaltenes Verhältnis zur deutschen Geschichte. Nur eine Minderheit der jüdischen Bevölkerung Israels stammt aus Deutschland, aber bis heute prägen mitgebrachte Traditionen und Werte dieser Minderheit die israelische Gesellschaft. Moshe Zimmermann analysiert die deutschen Einflüsse an den Beispielen Jugendbewegung, Militarismus und Sport. Die geopolitische Entwicklung des Staates Israel nimmt er zum Anlass für einen vergleichenden Blick auf die deutsche Geschichte im 20. Jahrhundert: Nicht erst die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus, sondern bereits die »Urkatastrophe" des Ersten Weltkriegs war für das Gebiet des heutigen Israel und seine Bewohner eine prägende Erfahrung. Im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung deutscher Einflüsse auf die Geschichte und Gegenwart Israels steht freilich die Erinnerung an die Shoah und die Frage nach einer »Normalisierung" der Beziehungen. In einem abschließenden Gespräch reflektiert Moshe Zimmermann über seine Rolle als Historiker, politischer Kommentator und Fußballexperte zwischen Deutschland und Israel.

National Economies
This is a book about economics and racism: During World War I, the liberal global economic system, based on principles of free trade and most-favored nation treatment and negotiated in gold parities, collapsed for good. The disintegration and collapse of commerce eventually led to racist cleansing, expulsion and mass murder. Against this background, this book offers new perspectives on the racist fault-lines that appeared and deepened in European economies after the end of what was regarded as the Great War. At what point did people start to ostracize their neighbors economically because they thought they were of a different ethnic group? Who decided who was to be excluded? Where did the fault-lines open? Where did the boundaries lie? How were they defined – by law, or by common practice? How much extra time and money were people prepared to spend in order to do ostracize their neighbors? And what did that mean for the economy – and society – as such?
Israelpolitik
The rapprochement between Germany and Israel in the aftermath of the Holocaust is one of the most striking political developments of the twentieth century. German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently referred to it as a ‘miracle’. But how did this ‘miracle’ come about? In this book, Lorena De Vita traces the contradictions and dilemmas that shaped the making of German–Israeli relations at the outset of the global Cold War. Examining well known events like the Suez Crisis, the Eichmann Trial, and the Six-Day War, the book adopts a ‘pericentric’ perspective on the Cold War era, drawing attention to the actions and experiences of minor players within the confrontation and highlightin...
Denk ich an Deutschland ...
Israel, Deutschland, Palästina - dieser Briefwechsel bilanziert die letzten 50 Jahre intensiver Auseinandersetzungen der beiden hochkarätigen Experten Moshe Zuckermann und Moshe Zimmermann. Die zwei wohlbekannten - und immerzu kritischen - Stimmen Israels begegnen den zentralen Fragen dieses Themenkomplexes mit schonungsloser Vehemenz. Ihre Gespräche eint der Versuch, die Themen auf einer gemeinsamen Basis tiefgehend zu ergründen und Nuancen zu erörtern, die im öffentlichen Diskurs oft übergangen werden. Mal zornig, mal verzweifelt, mal zärtlich fächern sie die heiklen Themen auf, legen den Finger in die Wunden, üben lautstarke Kritik an der Politik und tauschen Ideen für einen Verbesserung des Umgangs miteinander und mit der Geschichte auf - denn nur durch eine wirkliche Auseinandersetzung mit Vergangenheit und Gegenwart kann eine neue Zukunft ermöglicht werden.

Die deutschen Juden in der Geschichte der Shoah
A speech delivered by Zimmermann upon his receiving the Dr. Leopold-Lucas prize for the year 2002, printed in English and German on opposite pages. Deplores the historiographic neglect of the calamitous fate of German Jewry during the war period. Part of the reason is perhaps that for Germans, including German historians, it was too disturbing to consider the murder of their own neighbors, whereas Israeli historians are oriented toward studying Eastern European Jewry. German Jews made up only about 2% of all European Jews, but the process of their annihilation was in many ways distinctive and requires a historiography of its own. Yet in the context of the general history of the Holocaust or of the Jews in Germany, the topic is usually considered briefly, if at all. More is to be found in accounts of specific aspects (e.g. economic or cultural), in survivors' memoirs, and in local studies; but a comprehensive monograph is lacking. also argues that the association of Nazism solely with Auschwitz deprives us of lessons on racism and antisemitism that can be learned from its earlier stages.
