Hitler's Munich
An acclaimed historian of twentieth century Germany provides a vivid account of Hitler’s rise to power and its intimate connection to the Bavarian capital. The immediate aftermath of the Great War and the Versailles Treaty created a perfect storm of economic, social, political and cultural factors which facilitated the rapid rise of Adolf Hitler’s political career and the birth of the National Socialist German Worker’s Party. The breeding ground for this world-changing evolution was the city of Munich. In Hitler’s Munich, renowned historian David Ian Hall examines the origins and growth of Hitler’s National Socialism through the lens of this unique city. By connecting the sites where Hitler and his accomplices built the movement, Hall offers a clear and concrete understanding of the causes, background, motivation, and structures of the Party. Hitler’s Munich is a cultural and political portrait of the city, a biography of the Fuhrer, and a history of National Socialism. All three interacted in this expertly rendered exploration of their interconnections and significance.
In Hitler's Munich
"In 1935, Adolf Hitler declared Munich the "Capital of the Movement." It was here that he developed his anti-Semitic beliefs and founded the Nazi party. Though Hitler's immediate milieu during the 1910s and 1920s has received ample attention, this book argues that the Munich of this period is worthy of study in its own right and that the changes the city underwent between 1918 and 1923 are absolutely crucial for understanding the rise of antisemitism and eventually Nazism in Germany. Before 1918, Munich had a decidedly cosmopolitan flavor, but its open atmosphere was shattered by the November Revolution of 1918-19. Jews were prominently represented among many of the European revolutions of t...
Beyond Berlin
Beyond Berlin breaks new ground in the ongoing effort to understand how memorials, buildings, and other spaces have figured in the larger German struggle to come to terms with the legacy of Nazism. The contributors challenge reigning views of how the task of "coming to terms with the Nazi Past" (Vergangenheitsbewältigung) has been pursued at specific urban and architectural sites. Focusing on west as well as east German cities—whether prominent metropolises like Hamburg, dynamic regional centers like Dresden, gritty industrial cities like Wolfsburg, or idyllic rural towns like Quedlinburg—the volume's case studies of individual urban centers provide readers with a more complex sense of ...
Central Collecting Point in Munich, The
A compelling exploration of the many issues surrounding the restoration and restitution of Nazi-stolen art at the end of World War II At the end of World War II, the US Office of Military Government for Germany and Bavaria, through its Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives division, was responsible for the repatriation of most of the tens of thousands of artwork looted by the Nazis in the countries they had occupied. With the help of the US Army’s Monuments Men—the name given to a hand-picked group of art historians and museum professionals commissioned for this important duty—massive numbers of objects were retrieved from their wartime hiding places and inventoried for repatriation.

Aufarbeitung und Demokratie
Die Aufarbeitung des Nationalsozialismus ist auch heute noch ein Grundpfeiler der bundesrepublikanischen Demokratie und stellt zugleich komplexe Anforderungen, welche Politik, Kultur und Schule nicht allein bewältigen können. Aufarbeitung ist eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Verantwortung. Sie ist angewiesen auf verschiedene Akteure, die durch ihre spezifischen Zugriffe auf die deutsche Geschichte von Unrecht, Terror und Massengewalt zu historischer Orientierung in der Gegenwart beitragen. Dieser Band bindet eben diese verschiedenartigen Fachperspektiven ein: Historische Wissenschaft, Geschichtsdidaktik und politische Bildung verschränken anhand exemplarischer Fragestellungen ihre jeweiligen Erkenntnisinteressen und verweisen auf die Bedeutung multiperspektivischer Zugänge bei der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Nationalsozialismus.
