The Nazi Persecution of the Gypsies
Roaming the countryside in caravans, earning their living as musicians, peddlers, and fortune-tellers, the Gypsies and their elusive way of life represented an affront to Nazi ideas of social order, hard work, and racial purity. They were branded as "asocials," harassed, and eventually herded into concentration camps where many thousands were killed. But until now the story of their persecution has either been overlooked or distorted. In The Nazi Persecution of the Gypsies, Guenter Lewy draws upon thousands of documents--many never before used--from German and Austrian archives to provide the most comprehensive and accurate study available of the fate of the Gypsies under the Nazi regime. Le...
In Search of the True Gypsy
It has only been recognised tardily and with reluctance that during the Second World War hundreds of thousands of itinerants met the same horrendous fate as Jews and other victims of Nazism. Gypsies appear to appeal to the imagination simply as social outcasts and scapegoats or, in a flattering but no more illuminating light, as romantic outsiders. In this study, contemporary notions about Gypsies are traced back as far as possible to their roots, in an attempt to lay bare why stigmatisation of gypsies, or rather groups labelled as such, has continuned from the distant past even to today.
Germany and Its Gypsies
Historian Gilad Margalit eloquently fills a tragic gap in the historical record with this sweeping examination of the plight of Gypsies in Germany before, during, and since the era of the Third Reich. Germany and Its Gypsies reveals the painful record of the official treatment of the German Gypsies, a people whose future, in the shadow of Auschwitz, remains uncertain. Margalit follows the story from the heightened racism of the nineteenth century to the National Socialist genocidal policies that resulted in the murder of most German Gypsies, from the shifting attitudes in the two Germanys in 1945 through reunification and up to the present day. Drawing upon a rich variety of sources, Margalit considers the pivotal historic events, legal arguments, debates, and changing attitudes toward the status of the German Gypsies and shines a vitally important light upon the issue of ethnic groups and their victimization in society. The result is a powerful and unforgettable testament.
Ethnic Minorities in 19th and 20th Century Germany
This is the first book to trace the history of all ethnic minorities in Germany during the nineteenth and twentieth-centuries. It argues that all of the different types of states in Germany since 1800 have displayed some level of hostility towards ethnic minorities. While this reached its peak under the Nazis, the book suggests a continuity of intolerance towards ethnic minorities from 1800 that continued into the Federal Republic. During this long period German states were home to three different types of ethnic minorities in the form of- dispersed Jews and Gypsies; localised minorities such as Serbs, Poles and Danes; and immigrants from the 1880s. Taking a chronological approach that runs into the new Millennium, the author traces the history of all of these ethnic groups, illustrating their relationship with the German government and with the rest of the German populace. He demonstrates that Germany provides a perfect testing ground for examining how different forms of rule deal with minorities, including monarchy, liberal democracy, fascism and communism.
European Roma
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. This book, designed as a resource for scholars, educators, activists and non-specialist readers, presents the results of new research on the role of Romani groups in European culture and society since the nineteenth century. Its specific focus is on the ways in which Romani actors, in their interactions with non-Romanies, have contributed to shaping Europe’s public spaces.

All based on new...

Humaniora: Medizin - Recht - Geschichte
Wie andere Gebräuche und Gepflogenheiten ist auch die „Festschrift-Kultur“ ins Gerede gekommen. Man mag das Für und Wider anderswo lange diskutieren – die Herausgeber dieser Festschrift sind überzeugt davon, dass sie eine der besten Möglichkeiten darstellt, einem weitsichtigen Wissenschaftler und engagierten- kademischen Lehrer Dank und Anerkennung zu zollen. Jeder, der sich daran bet- ligt, kann auf eine weitschweifige Laudatio verzichten und seine Wertschätzung durch die Tat bezeugen, mithin durch ein wissenschaftliches Opusculum. Auch wir, die Herausgeber, möchten diese Devise in Anspruch nehmen, wissen wir doch, dass dem Jubilar die Anerkennung durch die Tat lieber ist als di...
Deutungsmuster von Strafe
Nicole Bögelein rekonstruiert in ihrer empirischen Studie soziale Deutungsmuster von Strafe. Am Beispiel der am häufigsten verhängten Sanktion, der Geldstrafe, erkundet die Autorin, auf welche Deutungsmuster Verurteilte zurückgreifen, um ihre Strafe einzuordnen und zu bewerten. Wer eine Strafe erhält, wird mit strafrechtlichem Tadel versehen und als Abweichler und Normbrecher markiert. In dieser krisenhaften Situation rekurrieren Verurteilte auf Deutungsmuster zur Entlastung. Die Studie basiert auf diskursiven Interviews mit Personen, die zu einer Geldstrafe verurteilt sind, und diese durch Zahlung, gemeinnützige Arbeit oder Inhaftierung tilgen. Es zeigen sich sechs verschiedene Deutungsmuster, welche Strafe auf unterschiedliche Weise im Kontext von Moral, Legitimität und Gerechtigkeit verorten.
