Jede Geste zählte - wie der »Bund« im Nationalsozialismus Juden half zu überleben In den frühen 1920er Jahren fand sich in Essen eine kleine Gruppe von Idealisten zusammen. Der »Bund – Gemeinschaft für sozialistisches Leben« war auf der Suche nach einer Lebensweise, die Körper, Geist und Seele in Einklang bringen sollte. Doch mit dem Aufstieg der Nationalsozialisten änderte sich die Agenda seiner Gründer: Sie arbeiteten gegen das Regime und wurden in der Judenhilfe aktiv. Sie schrieben Briefe an die Opfer, verschickten Pakete mit Lebensmitteln und Kleidern, verschafften den Verfolgten Unterkünfte und unterstützten einige dabei, im Untergrund zu überleben. Anhand von unveröffentlichten Aufzeichnungen, Fotos und Interviews mit früheren Mitgliedern erzählt der britische Historiker Mark Roseman die bislang weitgehend unbekannte Geschichte des »Bunds« und wirft ein neues Licht darauf, was es bedeutete, in dieser dunklen Zeit Hilfe zu leisten. Mit zahlreichen Abbildungen.

Eine Geschichte von Rettung und Widerstand im Nationalsozialismus

»Du bist nicht ganz verlassen«

Richard F. Wetzell

Devin Owen Pendas

A fundamental reassessment of the ways that racial policy worked and was understood under the Third Reich. Leading scholars explore race's function, content, and power in relation to society and nation, and above all, in relation to the extraordinary violence unleashed by the Nazis.

Beyond the Racial State

Devin O. Pendas

The 'racial state' has become a familiar shorthand for the Third Reich, encapsulating its raison d'être, ambitions, and the underlying logic of its genocidal violence. The Nazi racial state's agenda is generally understood as a fundamental reshaping of society based on a new hierarchy of racial value. However, this volume argues that it is time to reappraise what race really meant under Nazism, and to question and complicate its relationship to the Nazis' agenda, actions, and appeal. Based on a wealth of new research, the contributors show that racial knowledge and racial discourse in Nazi Germany were far more contradictory and disparate than we have come to assume. They shed new light on the ways that racial policy worked and was understood, and consider race's function, content, and power in relation to society and nation, and above all, in relation to the extraordinary violence unleashed by the Nazis.

Rethinking Nazi Germany

Neil Gregor

Nils Roemer

German History from the Margins offers new ways of thinking about ethnic and religious minorities and other outsiders in modern German history. Many established paradigms of German history are challenged by the contributors' new and often provocative findings, including evidence of the striking cosmopolitanism of Germany's 19th-century eastern border communities; German Jewry's sophisticated appropriation of the discourse of tribe and race; the unexpected absence of antisemitism in Weimar's campaign against smut; the Nazi embrace of purportedly "Jewish" sexual behavior; and post-war West Germany's struggles with ethnic and racial minorities despite its avowed liberalism. Germany's minorities have always been active partners in defining what it is to be German, and even after 1945, despite the legacy of the Nazis' murderous destructiveness, German society continues to be characterized by ethnic and cultural diversity.

German History from the Margins

In February 1947, US officials in Germany stumbled across a document. Headed Secret Reich matter, it summarized the results of a meeting of top civil servants and SS and party officials that took place on 20 January 1942 in a grand villa on the shore of Berlin's Lake Wannsee. The document came to be known as the Wannsee Protocol, or the most shameful document of modern history.

Jürgen Matthäus

Jurgen Matthaus

A history of the Holocaust from 1933 to 1938 told from the Jewish perspective through period documents, annotations, and black-and-white photographs.

Jewish Responses to Persecution: 1933-1938

At a villa on the shore of the Wannsee, a lake in suburban Berlin, on 20th January 1942 one of the most terrible meetings in human history convened. Chaired by Reinhard Heydrich and organised and minuted by Adolf Eichmann, it brought together representatives of all the principal Nazi agencies in eastern Europe. Pooling the expertise of those present, Heydrich created the plan that would let Europe 'be combed through from west to east' for Jews and which would put the Final Solution on a rational and industrial footing.
