The Crusades and the Military Orders
Proceedings of a conference on a theme, the 34 essays by specialists from 15 countries prevent various facets of the struggles waged for the possession of the Holy Land between the 10th and 13th centuries, and of the activities of the military orders elsewhere in Europe.
Black Humor and the White Terror
This book examines political humor as a reaction to the lost war, the post-war chaos, and antisemitic violence in Hungary between 1918 and 1922. While there is an increased body of literature on Jewish humor as a form of resistance and a means of resilience during the Holocaust, only a handful of studies have addressed Jewish humor as a reaction to physical attacks and increased discrimination in Europe during and after the First World War. The majority of studies have approached the issue of Jewish humor from an anthropological, cultural, or linguistic perspective; they have been interested in the humor of lower- or lower-middle-class Jews in the East European shtetles before 1914.

The White Terror
The White Terror was a movement of right-wing militias that for two years actively tracked down, tortured, and murdered members of the Jewish community, as well as former supporters of the short-lived Council Republic in the years following World War I. It can be argued that this example of a programme of virulent antisemitism laid the foundations for Hungarian participation in the Holocaust. Given the rightward shift of Hungarian politics today, this book has a particular resonance in re-examining the social and historical context of the White Terror.
Defeating Impunity
Over the course of the long and violent twentieth century, only a minority of international crime perpetrators ever stood trial, and a central challenge of this era was the effort to ensure that not all these crimes remained unpunished. This required not only establishing a legal record but also courage, determination, and inventiveness in realizing justice. Defeating Impunity moves from the little-known trials of the 1920s to the Yugoslavia tribunal in the 2000s, from Belgium in 1914 to Ukraine in 1943, and to Stuttgart and Düsseldorf in 1975. It illustrates the extent to which the language of law drew an international horizon of justice.

Regionale Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte im Zeitalter globaler Krisen
Der seit dem 16. Jahrhundert in der deutschen Sprache gebräuchliche Krisenbegriff erstreckte sich bis ins 18. Jahrhundert ausschließlich auf den Fachbereich der Medizin. Danach wanderte er langsam in die Alltagssprache und bezeichnete Entscheidungssituationen oder Höhepunkte gefährlicher Entwicklungen, vor allem im Gesundheitsbereich (Seuchen) und in der Wirtschaft. Krisen sind in ihren jeweiligen historischen Konstellationen einzigartig und nicht wiederhol- oder vorhersehbar. Wie der Krisenbegriff dennoch erfolgreich in der Geschichtswissenschaft eingesetzt werden kann, illustriert dieser Band.
