  • Racial State” by Scholars
    Obsession, Separation, and Extermination: The Nazi Reordering of Germany 2. Nazi Germany is described as a “Racial State” by scholars. Explain the place of racism and in particular of anti-Semitism to the Nazi reordering of Germany and of Europe. In your analysis pay attention to both ideology and practice, to domestic and foreign policy, to culture and to politics. Following the Nazi rise to power, officials declared that “hereafter the Reich will recognize only three classes: Germans (of German or related blood), Jews and ‘Jewish mixtures’” (Birchall, “Reich Puts Laws on Jews in Force; Trade Untouched”, in Moeller, 98). This quote lies in a source written in 1935, well before the mass extermination of the Jewish population began in the Third Reich. The politics of the Reich were built around a feeling of Volk and racial similarities; those who were declared to be outside of the Volk were ostracized by the practice of laws within the German culture. Racist ideology was formed and manifested quickly upon the rise of Nazi power, with racial laws causing an obsession with heritage and the split of Germans and Jews. Nazi racism spread internationally as well, particularly as the Nazis began the occupation of Poland, Austria, and other nations. This potent racism, especially toward Jews, fueled the manner in which the Nazis reordered the German nation into a race-obsessed state and spread their obsession into neighboring countries. Politics were the origin of the extreme anti-Semitism in Nazi German. The politicians decided what the German people should believe and advertised it well enough to succeed in changing the outlook of the population.

Katherine Wehby Grand Valley State University Frederick Meijer Honors College April 26, 2012 Wehby2 The leaders of the Third Reich used vast amounts of visual and written propaganda as a means for solidifying their political power, to create and glorify a national Aryan identity, and to perpetuate anti-Semitism which would lead to justification of violence against the Jews. The majority of Nazi propaganda is androcentric; focusing on glorifying Aryan men and demonizing Jewish men. Nazi propaganda lionized the work ethic and strong character of Aryan men and reified Jewish men as sly Shylocks aimed at seducing Aryan women and as the source of the economic downturn that plagued Weimar Germany as a result of the World War I and the Treaty of Versailles. The portrayal of women in propaganda works in a similar hierarchy, with Aryan women placed above Jewish women.

Persistently promoted as health measures, many of the racial policies enacted would go on to have considerable and, in many cases, devastating consequences for the family sphere. This thesis examines one aspect of Nazi policy, the practice of genealogy. Re-envisioned and turned into a civic duty of the ‘responsible citizen,’ this one-time hobby forced Germans to reassess friendships, marriages and courtships.

Introduction The study of history is often mistaken for a static subject bent on the examination of fixed events from which can be derived only a singular conclusion. However, such a perspective presents a woeful ignorance of the subject itself and the events under study. While the matters of the past are most certainly fixed in space, the insight and opportunity for engagement presented by these same events are nearly limitless in regard to the present and future.

  • American Eugenics and the German Sterilization Law of 1933
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery Egbert Klautke University College London School of Slavonic and East European Studies “The Germans are Beating us at our own Game”: American Eugenics and the German Sterilization Law of 1933 I. In 1934 the superintendent of the Western State Hospital in Richmond, Virginia, Joseph S. DeJarnette, commented with a mixture of admiration and envy on the German sterilization law that had come into effect on 1 January the same year: “The Germans are beating us at our own game.” (DeJarnette 1933, quoted in Kevles 1995: 116; see Black 2003: 279; Spiro 2009: 364; Kühl 1994: 37) DeJarnette was one of the sympathetic American observers of the implementation of a programme of “race hygiene”, or eugenics, in the Third Reich, some of whom even claimed credit for the German “Law on the prevention of hereditarily diseased progeny” (Gesetz zur Verhütung erbkranken Nachwuchses), which was passed on 14 July 1933 as one of the first measures of the new German government. To these American eugenicists, the German sterilization law could only be implemented so quickly because the Nazis were using American models as a blueprint. While interactions and exchanges between German and American eugenicists in the interwar period were important and significant, however, it is difficult to establish direct American influence on Nazi legislation. German experts of race hygiene who 2 advised the Nazi government in drafting the sterilization law were well-informed about the experiences with similar laws in American states, most importantly in California and Virginia, but there is little evidence to suggest they depended on American knowledge and expertise to draft their own sterilization law.

Dina Gusejnova illustrates how a supranational European mentality was forged from depleted imperial identities. In the revolutions of 1917–1920, the power of the Hohenzollern, Habsburg, and Romanoff dynasties over their subjects expired. Even though Germany lost its credit as a world power twice in that century, in the global cultural memory, the old Germanic families remained associated with the idea of Europe in areas reaching from Mexico to the Baltic region and India. Gusejnova’s book sheds light on a group of German-speaking intellectuals of aristocratic origin who became pioneers of Europe’s future regeneration. In the minds of transnational elites, the continent’s future horizons retained the con- tours of phantom empires.

  • Making Sense of National Socialism: Linguistic Ideology and Linguistic Practices in Germany, 1933-1939
    MAKING SENSE OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM: LINGUISTIC IDEOLOGY AND LINGUISTIC PRACTICES IN GERMANY, 1933-1939 by Emily Elizabeth Sheppard A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Social Justice Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Emily Elizabeth Sheppard 2014 MAKING SENSE OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM: LINGUISTIC IDEOLOGY AND LINGUISTIC PRACTICES IN GERMANY, 1933-1939 Master of Arts 2014 Emily Elizabeth Sheppard Department of Social Justice Education University of Toronto Abstract This work approaches the question of how to make sense of German National Socialism from a joint political economic and linguistic perspective. It charts the historical emergence of Nazism and its linguistic ideology before analysing its linguistic practices in the fields of law, the mass media, and education. Plying these two strands together, it is argued that a racially-inflected understanding of language as “mother-tongue” informed the Nazis’ re-envisioning of German community, while certain practical uses of language contributed to the Nazi state’s attempt to make this community both discursively and materially real. Finally, the possibility is raised of extending the mode of enquiry modelled here to Italian Fascism and Spanish Francoism, but also to the linguistic ideologies and practices that characterise global capitalism, in an attempt to make sense of the present. ii Acknowledgments I would like to thank the members of my supervisory committee, Monica Heller and Bonnie McElhinny, for their support and guidance throughout the production of this thesis but also for having inspired it in the first place: it is to them that I owe the idea of combining political economic analysis with the study of linguistic ideologies and practices, an idea that I expect will remain a cornerstone of my work in future.

  • Shifting Racial Boundaries and Their Limits. German Women, Non-European Men, and the Negotiation of Sexuality and Intimacy in Nazi Germany
    genealogy Article Shifting Racial Boundaries and Their Limits. German Women, Non-European Men, and the Negotiation of Sexuality and Intimacy in Nazi Germany Christoph Lorke Historisches Seminar, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, D-48143 Münster, Germany; [email protected] Received: 14 December 2019; Accepted: 16 March 2020; Published: 20 March 2020 Abstract: This essay examines the cultural, ethnic, and “racial” boundaries of the National Socialist “Volksgemeinschaft” based on planned, failed, and completed marriages between German women and non-European men in the early twentieth century. From evidence in the relevant files from the Federal Archives and the Political Archive of the Federal Foreign Office, this essay discusses male partners from various countries of origin as examples of the role of the state in racially mixed unions. The reactions of the institutional actors and the couples themselves demonstrated the surprising ambivalence of National Socialist racial policy due to political and diplomatic requirements. Keywords: gender; race; marriage; demography; family 1. Introduction At the turn of the twentieth century, German authorities faced increasing instances when German women wished to marry foreign partners. As in other European countries, German authorities regarded ethnically unwanted mixed marriages as dangerous liaisons, for the nation as well as for (female) individuals. After 1918/19, changes in territories and citizenship and the increase in migration led to an apparently greater need for documenting and regulating marriages involving foreigners. The authorities were usually displeased with male partners from non-European countries of origin and thus often rejected their applications for licenses. The mainsprings of these tangible expressions of rivalry (economic, as well as sexual) were xenophobia and ethnocentrism.
