Those years revealed a profound crisis of ideological and political values – a crisis that deeply affected the exponents of West European radical Social-Democratic groups, liberalising Eurocommunist factions of the Com- munist movement, and European and American leftist intellectuals. It found expression in the growing strength of various endeavours: First, critiques of the programmatic line of Social-Democratic Parties – such as their eclecticism, ideology of the ‘people’s party’, lack of revolutionary theory, and state mono- poly capitalism – and demands for structural reforms towards internal party democracy.1 Second, the Eurocommunists’ attempt to adjust socialist ideology to the needs of the modern industrial state.2 Third, the appearance of intel- lectuals and groups of radical youth under the banner of the ‘new left’, casting doubt over the theoretical, methodological, and ideological value of Marxism and its practical consequences, such as the principles of party organisation and forming alliances. These movements demanded the transformation of societies through their ideological and cultural realms.3 1 See juso-jahrbuch1968–69, Bonn 1970, p. 41, and HandbuchfürdieJungsozialistenarbeit, Bonn 1971, p. iii/1. 2 The expression ‘Eurocommunism’ was first used by the Yugoslavian journalist, France Bar- bieri, in 1975, and shortly after by the Italian journalist, Arrigo Levi, and by the Catholic philosopher, Augusto Del Noche. The Italian, Spanish, French, Swedish, British, and Greek Communist parties were eventually dominated by the Eurocommunist trend, as were – not entirely logically due to their geographical locations – the Japanese and Australian Commun- ist parties. The tendency, whose adherents were ideologically rather than organisationally linked, was characterised by its open approach towards Marxism and other ideological ori- entations, its critical attitude towards the Soviet model of socialism and the Leninist party concept, its demand for autonomy and equality of Communist parties, and its postulates for a democratic path to socialism and a pluralist-democratic model of socialism in economy and politics. Compare Leonhard 1980. 3 Originally, the ‘new left’ represented an intellectual current. It emerged at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s mainly among academics (philosophers, sociologists, and economists), publicists, and writers drawing on neo-Marxism, existentialism, and social psychoanalysis. Under the influence of the student protests and French ‘gauchism’ of 1968, it transformed into a political movement. Representatives of the ‘new left’ included, among others, C.

  • Svědkové Lidskosti Hanns Georg Heintschel Von Heinegg De
    Die Ausstellung stellt dem Betrachter in zehn Lebensbildern Menschen vor, welche sich aus ihrer christlichen Überzeugung heraus gegen den Nationalsozialismus von 1938 bis 1945 stellten und so Opfer dieses menschenverachtenden Regimes wurden. Es handelt sich um fünf Priester, zwei Ordensfrauen und drei Laien, die mit ihrem Lebenszeugnis auf je einer Stele präsentiert werden. Das Ende des Nationalsozialismus durfte keiner der hier Vorgestellten erleben. Sie starben entweder vorher in den Konzentrationslagern oder wurden hingerichtet. An sie und darüber hinaus an alle weiteren christlichen sudetendeutschen NS-Gegner der Jahre 1938 bis 1945 will die Ausstellung erinnern. Noch dazu kommt, dass der christliche sudetendeutsche Wiederstand dieser Jahre wissenschaftlich noch nicht umfassend aufgearbeitet wurde. Die Initiatoren der Ausstellung sehen die Ausstellung in diesem Bereich als Anregung. Hanns Georg Heintschel von Heinegg (* 5.September 1919 in Kněžice, † 5.Dezember 1944 in Wien) Lyriker, Theologiestudent und Widerstandskämpfer gegen den Nationalsozialismus Hanns Georg Heintschel-Heinegg entstammte einer aus Heinersdorf an der Tafelfichte stammenden österreichischen Wollwarenfabrikantenfamilie. Sein genauer Geburtsort ist Schloss Kněžice im Böhmerwald, das die Familie 1897 erworben hatte. Er hatte drei Schwestern. Seine Eltern mussten ihre Güter Kněžice, Žíkov und Strunkov im Jahre 1926 wegen Überschuldung verkaufen. Die Familie übersiedelte darauf hin nach Wien. Hanns Georg besuchte dort die Schule. In den 1930er Jahren kam er ans Theresianum. Er begann sich in dieser Zeit bald für deutschsprachige Literatur zu begeistern, und trat nach der Matura 1937 in das Priesterseminar Canisianum in Innsbruck ein. Der Anschluss Österreichs an das deutsche Reich 1938 zwang ihn dazu, das Studium der Theologie abzubrechen. Er schloss sich in Wien der österreichischen Widerstandsbewegung um Roman Karl Scholz an.

  • Roman Scholz
    KLOSTERNEUBURGER SZENEN Ein Zyklus aus fünf Erzählungen 2 VORWORT: Szene bedeutet im ursprünglichen Sinn Schauplatz; die Unterteilung eines dramatischen Stücks ist also hier nicht gemeint. Der Schauplatz Klosterneuburg enthält fünf Erzählungen und diese Stadt spielt die Hauptrolle; bei den beiden ersten Geschichten wurden auch andere Orte – vor allem Wien miteinbezogen, aber keineswegs aufgrund des Faktums, dass Klosterneuburg von 1938 bis 1954 der 26. Wiener Gemeindebezirk gewesen ist. Die beiden folgenden spielen in Kierling, einem Ortsteil Klosterneuburgs. Der zeitliche Rahmen reicht von der Mitte der dreißiger Jahre bis 1945; das gilt nur für die ersten vier Geschichten. Mit der fünften wurde der historische Rahmen ganz bewusst verlassen und die Zeit in die nahe Zukunft in ein Jahr nach 2008 verlegt. Es ist dies ein erster Versuch, einmal ein nichthistorisches Thema zu wählen, doch ist 2008 und vor allem der Schauplatz immer noch dicht im geschichtlichen Zusammenhang zu sehen, so dass ein Futurismus nicht gar zu sehr hervortritt. Wie die Überschriften besagen, hängen Nr. 2 und Nr. 5 (Ewige Hügel l und II) eng zusammen genauso wie die beiden Kierlinger Aprilszenen. Im Anhang jeder einzelnen Erzählung ist die benützte Literatur angegeben sowie ein kurzer Kommentar beigefügt, der insbesondere auf mündliche Überlieferungen sowie unmittelbar Selbsterlebtes hinweist, aber auch auf jenes, welches der Kombination oder der Phantasie entsprungen ist, denn letzten Endes wollen alle Erzählungen keineswegs den Anspruch einer exakten historischen Dokumentation erfüllen. Das soll anderen vorbehalten bleiben. Ich selbst habe mich eindeutig aus der Reihe der Historiker verabschiedet und will nur mehr Erzähler sein. Dass dabei vieles aus der Geschichte kommt, ist eine andere Sache und manches Mal nicht zu umgehen, in die Vergangenheit zu geraten.

  • The Politics of the Nazi Past in Germany and Austria
    P1: JZZ 0521856833pre CUNY200B/Art 0521856833 October 7, 2005 21:45 This page intentionally left blank P1: JZZ 0521856833pre CUNY200B/Art 0521856833 October 7, 2005 21:45 The Politics of the Nazi Past in Germany and Austria This book argues that Germans and Austrians have dealt with the Nazi past very differently and that these differences have had important con- sequences for political culture and partisan politics in the two countries. Drawing on different literatures in political science, David Art builds a framework for understanding how public deliberation transforms the political environment in which it occurs. The book analyzes how public debates about the “lessons of history” created a culture of contrition in Germany that prevented a resurgent far right from consolidating itself in German politics after unification. By contrast, public debates in Austria nourished a culture of victimization that provided a hospitable environ- ment for the rise of right-wing populism. The argument is supported by evidence from nearly 200 semistructured interviews and an analysis of the German and Austrian print media over a twenty-year period. David Art is an assistant professor of political science at the College of the Holy Cross. He teaches courses in European politics, international relations, and globalization. He received his B.A. from Yale University and his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His cur- rent research focuses on the development of right-wing populist parties in comparative and historical perspective. i P1:
