The Fascist Faith of the Legion "Archangel Michael" in Romania, 1927–1941 engages critically with recent works on fascism, totalitarianism, and religion, and advances an original theoretical and methodological approach to fascism as a political faith. On this basis, the book constructs an innovative comparative research framework for reconceptualizing the history of the Legion "Archangel Michael" in Romania, 1927–1941. It contends that the Legion put forward a palingenetic political faith of a theological type, called Legionarism. To provide a comprehensive analysis of the origins, main features, mechanisms of institutionalization, and demise of this self-proclaimed salvific political fa...
Founded in 1927, Romania’s Legion of the Archangel Michael was one of Europe’s largest and longest-lived fascist social movements. In Holy Legionary Youth, Roland Clark draws on oral histories, memoirs, and substantial research in the archives of the Romanian secret police to provide the most comprehensive account of the Legion in English to date. Clark approaches Romanian fascism by asking what membership in the Legion meant to young Romanian men and women. Viewing fascism "from below," as a social category that had practical consequences for those who embraced it, he shows how the personal significance of fascism emerged out of Legionaries’ interactions with each other, the state, ot...
The International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania was established in October 2003 on the initiative of Ion Iliescu, the President of Romania; this final report was presented to him in November 2004. The aim of the Commission was to research the facts and determine the truth about the Holocaust in Romania during World War II. The report examines various aspects of the state-organized participation of Romania in the mass murder of Jews in Romania and in Romanian-controlled territories, as well as in northern Transylvania where the genocide was perpetrated by the Nazis and their Hungarian allies. Inter alia, it discusses antisemitism and the evolution of Romanian anti-Jewish policies fro...

During the Spanish Civil War many groups on the European right were galvanised by the Nationalist cause. This book recounts the experiences of a number of foreign volunteers, all of whom saw their engagement in Spain as a means of promoting their own political causes at home.
Diese Bibliographie ist bemuht, die einschlagigen Publikationen zum Thema Bukowina moglichst vollstandig zu erfassen. Das Land, Geologie und Geographie, Flora und Fauna, Geschichte und Statistik, Stadte und Gemeinden, Bevolkerung und Volkskunde, Bildungswesen und Kirchen, Kunst und Kultur, Wirtschaft und Biographien sind die Hauptthemen dieser Sammlung, neben sehr vielen Untergliederungen der verschiedensten Art. Auf dem Gebiet der "biographischen Arbeiten," die einen bemerkenswert grossen Anteil der Titel umfassen, soll eine brauchbare Grundlage geschaffen werden fur ein immer noch fehlendes, deutschsprachiges biographisches Lexikon der Bukowina. Hilfreich ist diese bibliographische Sammlung vor allem auch auf Gebieten, die bislang noch nicht grundlegend und wissenschaftlich behandelt wurden, wie z.B. der Wirtschaftsgeschichte.
Why do nations come into conflict? What factors lead to the horrors of ethnic cleansing? This timely book offers clear-eyed answers to these questions by exploring how national identity is shaped by place, focusing especially on Serbia, Hungary, and Romania. Moving beyond studies of nationalism that consider only the economic and geostrategic value of territory, George W. White shows that the very core of national identity is intimately bound to specific places. Indeed, nations define themselves in terms of spaces that have historical, linguistic, and religious meaning, as Serbs have clearly demonstrated in Kosovo. These territories are concrete expressions of a nationAIs identity, both past and present. With his detailed analysis of the places that define national identity in Southeastern Europe, White convincingly shows why territorial disputes so often escalate into war.
Mareşalul Ion Antonescu - mai este necesar să subliniem? - a intrat deja în legendă. O legendă care, cu trecerea timpului, a prins, nimic mai simplu, contur, iar în cele din urmă s-a consolidat temeinic, astfel că, astăzi, orice tentativă de a o “demola” ori ridiculiza stârneşte, în cel mai fericit caz, mila… El a trăit, după cum şi-a dictat. Iar, în clipa supremă, a dovedit că a ştiut şi cum să moară! Era nu atât un răspuns dat bezmeticilor ajunşi Învingători, cât, mai degrabă, o lecţie dată poporului român într-una din clipele cele mai groaznice ale existenţei sale de două ori milenare, o sfidare adresată netrebniciei şi neputinţei şi, de ce nu...
