What the Nazis attempted was nothing less than the total physical annihilation of the Perspective Jewish people. This unprecedented atrocity has come to be known as the Holocaust. In this series of four essays, a distinguished his torian brings the central issues of the holocaust to the attention of the general reader.

The second chap ter, “Against Mystification,” analyzes the vari ous attempts to obscure what really happened. Bauer critically evaluates the work of historians or pseudohistorians who have tried to deny or explain away the Holocaust, as well as those who have attempted to turn it into a mystical experience.

The Jewish Community of Laupheim and its Annihilation Book Pages 422 - 428 OBERNAUER, Wilhelm, Tobacco products, 21Radstrasse Translated by: Adrian Fernandez, Marie-Kristin Fischer, Paulina Hausmann, Nazanin Zoroofchi Supervisor: Dr. Robynne Flynn-Diez, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Institut für Übersetzen und Dolmetschen Englischabteilung DR. ANTJE KÖHLERSCHMIDT / DR. UDO BA YER Wilhelm Obernauer , born December 29, 1894 in Laupheim OO Hella-Johanna, née Lindauer , born November 17, 1904 in Esslingen, died January 6, 1938 in Wangen i. Allgäu, – Heinz Joachim Obernauer , born January 3, 1925 in Ulm, died 1975 in the USA, - Max Paul Obernauer , born February 27, 1928 in Laupheim, died 2004 in the USA. Emigration of Wilhelm Obernauer and his sons Heinz and Max to New York, USA, on December 7, 1938 . 1 According to the first transcript of the safe conduct (an official document that ensured one’s safety by paying certain fees) and further documents from the eighteenth century, the Obernauers were one of the oldest Jewish families of Laupheim. They can be traced back to David Obernauer, one of four Jews, who found accommodation in Laupheim around the year 1730. In the course of many decades the descendants branched out. Therefore the Obernauers were remotely related to the Einstein family. In an interview from June 2000, Max Obernauer reported that Albert Einstein’s grandmother was the sister of his great grandmother. When he was thirteen, his father, Wilhelm Obernauer, took him to meet Albert Einstein. Furthermore the Obernauers were also related to Carl Laemmle, the founder of Universal Studios in Hollywood.

Völkisch Writers and National Socialism
CULTURAL HISTORY AND LITERARY IMAGINATION This book provides a view of literary life under the Nazis, highlighting • Guy Tourlamain the ambiguities, rivalries and conflicts that determined the cultural climate of that period and beyond. Focusing on a group of writers – in particular, Hans Grimm, Erwin Guido Kolbenheyer, Wilhelm Schäfer, Emil Strauß, Börries Freiherr von Münchhausen and Rudolf Binding – it examines the continuities in völkisch-nationalist thought in Germany from c.1890 into the post-war period and the ways in which völkisch-nationalists identified themselves in opposition to four successive German regimes: the Kaiserreich, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich and the Federal Republic. Although their work Völkisch predated Hitler’s National Socialist movement, their contribution to preparing the cultural climate for the rise of Nazism ensured them continued prominence in the Third Reich. Those who survived into the post-war era continued to represent the völkisch-nationalist worldview in the West German public sphere, opposing both Socialism and National Writers the Soviet and liberal-democratic models for Germany’s future. While not uncontroversial, they were able to achieve significant publishing success, suggesting that a demand existed for their works among the German public, stimulating debate about the nature of the recent past and its effect on Germany’s cultural and political identity and position in the world. Völkisch Writers and National Socialism Guy Tourlamain received his D.Phil. from Oxford University in 2007. He also spent time as a visiting student at the University of Gießen, A Study of Right-Wing Political Culture University of Hamburg and Humboldt University in Berlin as well as undertaking postdoctoral research at the German Literature in Germany, 1890–1960 Archive in Marbach am Neckar. -

The Herbert Baum Groups: Networks of Jewish, Leftist, and Youth Resistance in the Third Reich
The Human Tradition in Modern Europe 139 The Herbert Baum Groups: Networks of Jewish, Leftist, and Youth Resistance in the Third Reich John Cox The Human Tradition in Modern Europe, 1750 to the Present, Cora Granata and Cheryl Koos, eds., Rowman and Littlefield, 2007, pp. 139-154 http://www.amazon.com/Tradition-Modern-Europe-Present- Around/dp/0742554112 With Germany’s defeat in World War I in 1918, revolution led to the collapse of the German Empire and the establishment of Germany’s first democracy, the Weimar Republic. The republic faced significant challenges, including economic hardship and popular resentment over the terms of the post– World War I settlement. The Treaty of Versailles had imposed on Germany large war payments to Britain and France and the moral guilt of the sole responsibility for the war. In the interwar period, the rising Nazi Party (National Socialist German Workers’ Party) under the leadership of Adolf Hitler profited from these conditions to become a mass party with increasing popular support. When Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany on 30 January 1933, he destroyed the weak parliamentary democracy of the Weimar Republic. The Nazis then began the process of consolidating their dictatorial control over the German government and society. With the policy of Gleichschaltung (roughly translated as “coordination”), the Nazi program attempted to take over most aspects of civil society, from schools and youth groups to sports clubs and churches. Hundreds of thousands of Germans became a part of Nazi-controlled organizations, such as the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls. -
