First Published in 1988. This is a collection of articles covering right-wing extremism in Post-war Europe, including the countries of Italy, West Germany, France, Great Britain and Spain.
The Radical Right has represented a major element in German politics and society throughout the history of the united country (i.e. since the 1870s), though the understandable concentration on the Third Reich (1933-45) has tended to distort the wider picture. This book explores the history of the radical right through the full span of Germany's life as a nation, thus putting the Third Reich in its natural context, and also emphasising that the attitudes and policies of the radical right did not begin with Hitler's pursuit of power in the 1920s or end with his death in the ruins of Berlin.
Throughout the world, television has become an important part of the way in which political candidates and parties present their messages to voters during election campaigns. This is particularly true in campaigns at the national level where voters have little personal contact with candidates and must rely on experiencing candidates through the media. Despite the importance of the media for voter-government interaction, however, many new reform governments in the post-communist era in Eastern European countries failed to appreciate the demands of creating workable new media systems.
This book reveals how ideas of comradeship shaped the actions and mindsets of ordinary German soldiers across the twentieth century.
Published in Association with the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C. Based on careful, intensive research in primary sources, many of these essays break new ground in our understanding of a crucial and tumultuous period. The contributors, drawn from both sides of the Atlantic, offer an in-depth analysis of how the collective memory of Nazism and the Holocaust influenced, and was influenced by, politics and culture in West Germany in the 1960s. The contributions address a wide variety of issues, including prosecution for war crimes, restitution, immigration policy, health policy, reform of the police, German relations with Israel and the United States, nuclear non-proliferation, and, of course, student politics and the New Left protest movement.
A systematic comparison between the Nazi Labor Service and the Civilian Conservation Corps.
"The exhibition confabulations presents an assembly of emerging and established sculptors who have ""confabulatory"" tendencies - ie. low-tech, loosely curbed appetites for hands-on, tactile configurations of forms and materials. As object-makers, they produce sculptures that possess colloquial and ephemeral qualities. This exhibition is curated by Peter Dudek, Hunter College adjunct professor of art. Participating artists include: Jay Batlle, Jimbo Blachly, Liam Everett, Robert Kocik, Anke Sievers and Nari Ward."

No one has ever posed a satisfactory explanation for the extreme inhumanity of the Holocaust. What was going on in the heads and hearts of the millions of Germans who either participated in or condoned the murder of the Jews? In this provocative book, Thomas Kuhne offers a new answer. A genocidal society was created not only by the hatred of Jews or by coercion, Kuhne contends, but also by the love of Germans for one another, their desire for a united "people's community," the Volksgemeinschaft. During the Third Reich, Germans learned to connect with one another by becoming brother and sisters in mass crime.
