New essays exploring the tension between the versions of the past in secret police files and the subjects' own personal memories-and creative workings-through-of events.
Above the Abyss
The book focuses on the threat to free self-development and the effort to ward off a perceived threat of extinction as well as the development of self-preservation forces. The challenges for ethnic and religious minorities in the 19th–21st centuries are explained and unfolded against the historical background that serves as a frame of reference. The royal privileges granted in medieval Hungary were abolished in the mid-19th century. The German-speaking people’s church (Saxones) in Transylvania founded on this had to reorient itself, although a pioneer region of religious freedom had established itself behind the “Ottoman Curtain”. Since the reception of the Reformation, the “Saxone...
Building a Nazi Racial Community in the South-East
Im letzten Jahrzehnt erschienen zahlreiche Beiträge, die den transnationalen Charakter des Faschismus untersuchten, wenige jedoch gingen auf die Verstrickungen und Einflüsse zwischen dem Dritten Reich und den rechtsradikalen Bewegungen der deutschen Minderheiten in Südosteuropa ein. Der vorliegen- de Band möchte diese Lücke schließen, indem er Untersuchungen über die NS-Bewegungen unter den Deutschen in Rumänien, Ungarn, Jugoslawien und der Tschechoslowakei sowie deren Beziehungen zu Deutschland veröffentlicht. Die Kapitel behandeln Aspekte wie das Anwachsen der NS-Bewegung unter den jungen "Volksdeutschen", das Kulturleben, die Veränderungen in der deutschsprachigen Presse oder die Ressourcen-Mobilisierung zur Unterstützung des von Hitler geführten Krieges. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird dem Transfer von Praktiken in Politik, Ideologie und Propaganda geschenkt.
Jews and Germans in Eastern Europe
For many centuries Jews and Germans were economically and culturally of significant importance in East-Central and Eastern Europe. Since both groups had a very similar background of origin (Central Europe) and spoke languages which are related to each other (German/Yiddish), the question arises to what extent Jews and Germans in Eastern Europe share common historical developments and experiences. This volume aims to explore not only entanglements and interdependences of Jews and Germans in Eastern Europe from the late middle ages to the 20th century, but also comparative aspects of these two communities. Moreover, the perception of Jews as Germans in this region is also discussed in detail.
Migrating Memories
Charts the transnational story of Romanian Germans in modern Europe - their migration, their position as a minority, and their memories.
Kind und Gesellschaft (I)
Die aktuelle Ausgabe der Spiegelungen widmet sich dem Verhältnis von Kind und Gesellschaft anhand mehrerer Fallstudien aus Südosteuropa vom 19. Jahrhundert bis heute. Aus der breiten Palette der gesellschaftlichen Faktoren, die auf die Erziehung von Kindern einwirken, thematisiert das Heft u. a. ein einstiges Kindertheater in der Banater Metropole Temeswar, die Entwicklung zweier repräsentativer siebenbürgisch-sächsischer Kinderbücher im 20. Jahrhundert, die kindliche Erinnerungsperspektive an die Zwangsmigration nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg im ungarndeutschen Kontext, die Heimfahrten junger Nachfahren von Sathmarer Schwaben in die Herkunftsorte ihrer Vorfahren bis hin zu den Möglichkeiten des Spracherwerbs bei Ungarndeutschen im Kindesalter. Der Themenschwerpunkt wird in Heft 2.23 fortgeführt.
Fractured Biographies
A physical chemist (Fritz Haber), a photographer (Josef Breitenbach), a cabaret artist (Georg Kreisler), two writers (Otto Alscher and Albin Stuebs), a pioneering scholar in Irish-German studies (John Hennig) and a Celtic philologist (Julius Pokorny) are the focus of this volume. What they have in common is a biography fractured by the Nazis' rise to power in 1933. Six were forced into exile; the life of the seventh, the Romanian-German writer Otto Alscher, shows that even the biography of a Nazi sympathiser could be dislocated by the years of dictatorship. As the previously unpublished letters which are reproduced here show, Fritz Haber, a Nobel prize winner, spent 'his last lonely months' ...
