Tim Cole

Cole shows us an "Auschwitz-land" where tourists have become the "ultimate ruberneckers" passing by and gazing at someone else's tragedy. He shows us a US Holocaust Museum that provides visitors with a "virtual Holocaust" experience.

Selling the Holocaust

The theme of Tim Cole's Holocaust Landscapes concerns the geography of the Holocaust; the Holocaust as a place-making event for both perpetrators and victims. Through concepts such as distance and proximity, Professor Cole tells the story of the Holocaust through a number of landscapes where genocide was implemented, experienced and evaded and which have subsequently been forgotten in the post-war world. Drawing on particular survivors' narratives, Holocaust Landscapes moves between a series of ordinary and extraordinary places and the people who inhabited them throughout the years of the Second World War. Starting in Germany in the late 1930s, the book shifts chronologically and geographically westwards but ends up in Germany in the final chaotic months of the war. These landscapes range from the most iconic (synagogue, ghetto, railroad, camp, attic) to less well known sites (forest, sea and mountain, river, road, displaced persons camp). Holocaust Landscapes provides a new perspective surrounding the shifting geographies and histories of this continent-wide event.

Ist die Digitalisierung eine Gefahr für die deutsche Wirtschaft? „Manche Hunde glauben, der Knochen komme zum Hund, und man muss sie zum Jagen tragen. So etwa sieht es mit vielen Unternehmen gegenüber dem Digitalen aus. Man sieht Tim Coles Sorge und Ungeduld beim Schreiben förmlich vor sich, wenn man dieses Buch liest. ,Schaut Ihr denn nicht zwei Schritte voraus?‘ Lesen Sie selbst, und lassen Sie sich wecken.“ Prof. Dr. Gunter Dueck, Autor von „Schwarmdumm“ und „Das Neue und seine Feinde“ „Die Zukunft [...] des Wirtschaftsstandorts Deutschland hängt entscheidend davon ab, wie zügig und gut es gelingt, die klassische Produktion zu digitalisieren und neue Geschäftsmodelle zu entwickeln. Wer sich jetzt nicht mit dem Thema auseinandersetzt, könnte den Anschluss verpassen!“ Winfried Holz, Mitglied im BITKOM-Präsidium und CEO von Atos Deutschland „Digitale Transformation ist eines der Top-Themen in den nächsten fünf Jahren für alle Branchen – und es gibt ganz wenige, die diese Herausforderungen und Gelegenheiten so gut kennen, erzählen und vertiefen können wie Tim Cole. Dieses Buch ist überlebenswichtig für jeden Professional!“ Gerd Leonhard, Futurist und CEO The Futures Agency (Basel) Die erste Auflage dieses Buches avancierte schnell zu einem der wichtigsten Beiträge zur Digitalen Transformation. Im Kontext der Digitalisierung verändern sich die Rahmenbedingungen so schnell, dass selbst ein traditionelles Medium wie das Buch nach kurzer Zeit auf den neuesten Stand gebracht werden musste.

Warum die deutsche Wirtschaft gerade die digitale Zukunft verschläft und was jetzt getan werden muss!

“[A] pioneering work . . . Shed[s] light on the historic events surrounding the Holocaust from place, space, and environment-oriented perspectives.” —Rudi Hartmann, PhD, Geography and Environmental Sciences, University of Colorado This book explores the geographies of the Holocaust at every scale of human experience, from the European continent to the experiences of individual human bodies. Built on six innovative case studies, it brings together historians and geographers to interrogate the places and spaces of the genocide. The cases encompass the landscapes of particular places (the killing zones in the East, deportations from sites in Italy, the camps of Auschwitz, the ghettos of Budapest) and the intimate spaces of bodies on evacuation marches. Geographies of the Holocaust puts forward models and a research agenda for different ways of visualizing and thinking about the Holocaust by examining the spaces and places where it was enacted and experienced. “An excellent collection of scholarship and a model of interdisciplinary collaboration . . . The volume makes a timely contribution to the ongoing emergence of the spatial humanities and will undoubtedly advance scholarly and popular understandings of the Holocaust.” —H-HistGeog “An important work . . . and could be required reading in any number of courses on political geography, GIS, critical theory, biopolitics, genocide, and so forth.” —Journal of Historical Geography “Both students and researchers will find this work to be immensely informative and innovative . . . Essential.” —Choice

Geographies of the Holocaust

﻿ Wollen wir wirklich im digitalen Wilden Westen leben? Was hat der Wilde Westen mit dem World Wide Web zu tun? Eine ganze Menge: Damals wie heute brachen die Menschen in eine neue, unbekannte Welt auf, in der es zwar kein Recht und Gesetz gab, aber dafür ungeahnte Möglichkeiten. Und damals wie heute begleiten Auswüchse und Missstände den Weg: Revolverhelden und Postkutschenräuber damals, geldgeile Datenmonopole heute. GAFA – Google, Amazon, Facebook und Apple – besitzen eine Macht, von der die „Räuberbarone“ von Standard Oil, AT&T oder den großen Eisenbahnkonzernen am Ausgang des 19. Jahrhunderts nur träumen konnten. Aber es war auch die Zeit der „Trust Busters“, der Antimonopol- und Arbeitsschutzgesetze, denn auf das „Blattgold-Zeitalter“ der Räuberbarone folgte in Amerika die „Progressive Era“ – ein halbes Jahrhundert, das von sozialem Fortschritt geprägt war. Was wir heute brauchen, ist eine neue, eine digitale Progressive Era. Wir müssen für alle verbindliche Spielregeln aufstellen und dafür sorgen, dass sie auch eingehalten werden – und dazu gehören gerade die großen Internet-Konzerne. Wir brauchen neue soziale Umgangsformen und einen neuen Sozialkontrakt, die auf die Möglichkeiten und Bedürfnisse des Digitalzeitalters angepasst sind. Und wir brauchen eine „Digitale Ethik“ – einen neuen moralischen Kompass, der unser Handeln und Denken über das, was machbar und wünschenswert ist, bestimmt. „Indem er Parallelen zieht zwischen der Zeit des amerikanischen Aufbruchs und der nicht weniger aufregenden Zeit des digitalen Umbruchs, leistet Tim Cole einen wichtigen Dienst. Er warnt uns nämlich davor, die Fehler der Vergangenheit zu wiederholen, und fordert uns stattdessen auf, Lehren zu ziehen aus der Zeit des Wilden Westens für die Zukunft der digitalen Gesellschaft.“ Dr. Winfried Felser, NetSkill Solutions GmbH

The black smoke billowing from burning oil wells during the Gulf War of 1990-91 directed media and public attention towards war's devastating environmental impact. Yet even before the first bomb is dropped, preparation for warfare materially and imaginatively reshapes rural landscapes and environments. This volume is the first to explore the comparative histories and geographies of militarized landscapes. Moving beyond the narrow definition of militarized landscapes as theatres of war, it treats them as simultaneously material and cultural sites that have been partially or fully mobilized to achieve military aims. Ranging from the Korean DMZ to nuclear testing sites in the American West, and from Gettysburg to Salisbury Plain, Militarized Landscapes focuses on these often secretive, hidden, dangerous and invariably controversial sites that occupy huge swathes of national territories.

Drawing from the ideas of critical geography and based on extensive archival research, Cole brilliantly reconstructs the formation of the Jewish ghetto during the Holocaust, focusing primarily on the ghetto in Budapest, Hungary--one of the largest created during the war, but rarely examined. Cole maps the city illustrating how spaces--cafes, theaters, bars, bathhouses--became divided in two. Throughout the book, Cole discusses how the creation of this Jewish ghetto, just like the others being built across occupied Europe, tells us a great deal about the nature of Nazism, what life was like under Nazi-occupation, and the role the ghetto actually played in the Final Solution.

Drawing parallels between the period in American history in which the West was won and the equally exciting period of digital upheaval we are faced with today is a useful way of avoiding against repeating the mistakes of history and einstead learning from the stories of the Wild West in order to establish a Digital Society built on the rule of law and basic common sense.Tim Cole is one of the first internet journalist and the author of the the very first blog in Germany. His books and keynotes have influenced decision makers almost two decades. Together with his friend Ossi Urchs, he anchored the TV show "eTalk" on ntv, the German cnn affiliate.

What the History of the Wild West Teaches Us about the Future of the Digital Society

'The universe began shrinking,' wrote Elie Wiesel of his Holocaust experiences in Hungary, 'first we were supposed to leave our towns and concentrate in the larger cities. Then the towns shrank to the ghetto, and the ghetto to a house, the house to a room, the room to a cattle car...' Adopting an innovative multi-perspectival approach framed around a wide variety of material traces - from receipts to maps, name lists to photographs - Tim Cole tells stories of journeys into and out of Hungarian ghettos. These stories of the perpetrators who oversaw ghettoization and deportation, the bystanders who witnessed and aided these journeys, and the victims who undertook them reveal the spatio-temporal dimensions of the Holocaust. But they also point to the visibility of these events within the ordinary spaces of the city, the importance of an economic assault on Jews and the marked gendering of the Holocaust in Hungary.

In 1951, the Festival of Britain commissioned a series of short guides they dubbed 'handbooks for the explorer'. Their aim was to encourage readers to venture out beyond the capital and on to 'the roads and the by-roads' to see Britain as a 'living country'. Yet these thirteen guides did more than celebrate the rural splendour of this 'island nation': they also made much of Britain's industrial power and mid-century ambition – her thirst for new technologies, pride in manufacturing and passion for exciting new ways to travel by road, air and sea. Armed with these About Britain guides, historian Tim Cole takes to the roads to find out what has changed and what has remained the same over the 70 years since they were first published. From Oban to Torquay, Caernarvon to Cambridge, he explores the visible changes to our landscape, and the more subtle social and cultural shifts that lie beneath. In a starkly different era where travel has been transformed by the pandemic and many are journeying closer to home, About Britain is a warm and timely meditation on our changing relationship with the landscape, industry and transport. As he looks out on vineyards and apple orchards, power stations and slate mines, vast greenhouses and fulfilment centres for online goods, Cole provides an enchanting glimpse of twentieth and early twenty-first century Britain as seen from the driver's seat.

During the Enlightenment of the 18th century societies in Europe threw of oppressive regimes, freed cities from the bondage of the medieval estate-based society, and defined a set of basic human rights that helped shape their sense of self to this day. Today, we as citizens of an increasingly digitized and networked world are in a similar situation. We, too, need the muster the confidence and creativity to rethink rules, values and categories that define our society and the courage to dare to think for ourselves, as Immanuel Kant, the father of modern Enlightenment, demanded in his famous dictum “sapere aude!”
