From Clinic to Concentration Camp
Representing a new wave of research and analysis on Nazi human experiments and coerced research, the chapters in this volume deliberately break from a top-down history limited to concentration camp experiments under the control of Himmler and the SS. Instead the collection positions extreme experiments (where research subjects were taken to the point of death) within a far wider spectrum of abusive coerced research. The book considers the experiments not in isolation but as integrated within wider aspects of medical provision as it became caught up in the Nazi war economy, revealing that researchers were opportunistic and retained considerable autonomy. The sacrifice of so many prisoners, pa...
The German Forest
From the late eighteenth century, Germans increasingly identified the fate of their nation with that of their woodlands. A variety of groups soon mobilized the 'German forest' as a national symbol, though often in ways that suited their own social, economic, and political interests. The German Forest is the first book-length history of the development and contestation of the concept of 'German' woodlands. Jeffrey K. Wilson challenges the dominant interpretation that German connections to nature were based in agrarian romanticism rather than efforts at modernization. He explores a variety of conflicts over the symbol from demands on landowners for public access to woodlands, to state attempts to integrate ethnic Slavs into German culture through forestry, and radical nationalist visions of woodlands as a model for the German 'race'. Through impressive primary and archival research, Wilson demonstrates that in addition to uniting Germans, the forest as a national symbol could also serve as a vehicle for protest and strife.
The Collections, Museums and Gardens of Göttingen University
The University of Göttingen possesses within its research and teaching collections, exhibitions and diverse range of gardens, unique museum holdings in an exceptionally wide range of knowledge domains. Among these are many objects and convolutes of outstanding significance worldwide. These notable holdings have always played an important role in student life and the academic work pursued at Göttingen University, as well as in university members’ training and research activities. The beginnings of the collections date back to a time well before the founding of the university itself in 1737. Initially existing in isolation as the Naturalien Cammer (Cabinet of Natural Curiosities), botanica...
Intersex in Christ
Intersex is an umbrella term for many different conditions that cause ambiguous sexual biology. Intersex people are “in between,” neither clearly male nor clearly female. Intersex has been largely hidden through surgery and secrecy, but is now coming out into the open. Many intersex people have experienced physical, psychological, and relational pain because of the shame attached to their bodily difference. The existence of people with unusual sexual biology presents a challenge to the Christian ideal of humanity as male and female. How can evangelical Christians rightly respond to this phenomenon? Intersex in Christ provides a balance of grace and truth, upholding male and female as God...
Medizintäter
Wie keine andere Berufsgruppe waren Mediziner in die nationalsozialistische Rassen- und Vernichtungspolitik involviert. So beteiligten sich Ärzte als Kliniker, Wissenschaftler und Gutachter an Zwangssterilisationen, Krankenmorden (NS-"Euthanasie") und Menschenversuchen in den Konzentrationslagern. Ärzte wirkten aktiv und fast ausnahmslos freiwillig mit am Holocaust und am Völkermord an Sinti und Roma. Im Zentrum des Bandes steht die Frage, wie Ärzte und auch Ärztinnen im "Dritten Reich" zu Tätern wurden. Thematisiert wird zudem die bis heute reichende Rezeptionsgeschichte dieser unheilvollen Geschehnisse. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes verwenden mentalitäts-, kultur- und ideengeschichtliche Ansätze; hinzu kommen sozialpsychologische Deutungsversuche und (gruppen)biografische Analysen.

'die hohen Bäume und das Unterholz und das Tote'
'Es hat alles seine Berechtigung, es darf alles nebeneinander sein, also die hohen Bäume und das Unterholz und das Tote. Es kreucht und fleucht in allen Schichten.'
