  • Hitler's Personal Security: Gaps and Contradictions by Peter Hoffman*
    Summer 1984 Hitler's Personal Security: Gaps and Contradictions by Peter Hoffman* INTRODUCTION The world, certainly Europe, would look very different if in No­ vember 1938 the Führer and Reich Chancellor of Nazi Germany had been killed. Perhaps people would have regarded him as a "Great German," as a noted colleague has speculated; more important, the suffering, destruction and division resulting from the Second World War might have been avoided. It is well known that attempts to as­ sassinate Hitler were made repeatedly, though it is probably less well known how many such attacks there were. At last count, no fewer than fourteen individuals made at least thirty separate, documented attempts to murder Hitler during the years 1933 to 1945. In the light of so much anti-Hitler energy, it seems reasonable and interesting to look at the circumstances in which Hitler survived all this hostility for so long. The author's interest in those circumstances grew out of a study of anti-Hitler activities, of the German Resistance and their efforts to do away with the Dictator. It soon became clear that the problems of Hitler's personal protection went far beyond those with which modern leaders ordinarily have to live, and that they had far greater implications, for they affected the lives of literally millions of people. The obvious question was how Hitler survived the many attempts on his life. There were conflicting claims as to how easy or difficult it was for a would-be assassin to get close enough to Hitler for a chance to kill him.

  • Modernism Without Jews? German-Jewish Subjects and Histories 1St Edition Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    MODERNISM WITHOUT JEWS? GERMAN-JEWISH SUBJECTS AND HISTORIES 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Scott Spector | 9780253026279 | | | | | Modernism Without Jews? German-Jewish Subjects and Histories 1st edition PDF Book In the Free City of Frankfurt , only 12 Jewish couples were allowed to marry each year, and the , gulden the city's Jewish community had paid in for its emancipation was forfeited. In , Jews were banned from all professional jobs, effectively preventing them from participating in education, politics, higher education and industry. These truths he regarded as fixed and determinate, and philosophy was used as an aid to truth , and a means of arriving at it. The language of the book and its whole content show that it is the work of someone who lacked command of either literary language or good style, and in many passages it contains words which are out and out heresy. When the Great Depression hit in , it surged again as Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party promoted a virulent strain. A special officer, the Judenmeister , was appointed by the government to protect Jewish privileges. Dorff of American Jewish University [49] also see themselves in the rationalist tradition, as does David Novak of the University of Toronto. Avraham son of Rambam , continued fighting for his father's beliefs in the East; desecration of Maimonides' tomb, at Tiberias by Jews, was a profound shock to Jews throughout the Diaspora and caused all to pause and reflect upon what was being done to the fabric of Jewish culture. You cannot strike them dead. The end of the Cold War contributed to a growth of the Jewish community of Germany.

  • CRITICAL SOCIAL HISTORY AS a TRANSATLANTIC ENTERPRISE, 1945-1989 Philipp Stelzel a Dissertatio
    RETHINKING MODERN GERMAN HISTORY: CRITICAL SOCIAL HISTORY AS A TRANSATLANTIC ENTERPRISE, 1945-1989 Philipp Stelzel A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Adviser: Dr. Konrad H. Jarausch Reader: Dr. Dirk Bönker Reader: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Karen Hagemann Reader: Dr. Donald Reid © 2010 Philipp Stelzel ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT PHILIPP STELZEL: Rethinking Modern German History: Critical Social History as a Transatlantic Enterprise, 1945-1989 (under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) My dissertation “Rethinking Modern German History: Critical Social History as a Transatlantic Enterprise, 1945-1989” analyzes the intellectual exchange between German and American historians from the end of World War II to the 1980s. Several factors fostered the development of this scholarly community: growing American interest in Germany (a result of both National Socialism and the Cold War); a small but increasingly influential cohort of émigré historians researching and teaching in the United States; and the appeal of American academia to West German historians of different generations, but primarily to those born between 1930 and 1940. Within this transatlantic intellectual community, I am particularly concerned with a group of West German social historians known as the “Bielefeld School” who proposed to re-conceptualize history as Historical Social Science (Historische Sozialwissenschaft). Adherents of Historical Social Science in the 1960s and early 1970s also strove for a critical analysis of the roots of National Socialism. Their challenge of the West German historical profession was therefore both interpretive and methodological.

  • Why Strasser Isn't an Anti-Semite
    Why Strasser Isn’t an Anti-Semite Well, he's not as bad as Hitler on anti-semitism but he still emphasized a German "national re-birth" and according to wikipedia, Ugh. Wikipedia is the bane of my existence on this and to be fair, if you take Otto's earlier beliefs, and combine them with his brother Gregor's, then yeah. It is very clear though, that Otto abandoned those anti-semitic beliefs and the Black Front worked alongside Jews to try to overthrow Hitler. Perhaps, it is because I agree with his latest writings, rather than his earlier writings, but I don't think judging him as an anti-semite is fair. Hence my Black Front men could attend without a passport. At this meeting, and others, most constant in attendance were Fritz Beer, my Munich leader; Will Simon, Bavarian head; Otto Witt, from Kiel; and Richard Schapke, from Berlin. Franzensbad was a favorite spot for our meetings, not only because of its convenience of access, but because a Black Fronter there, a Jewish doctor, had thrown open his sanitarium to us. and It was toward the end of 1936 when I first met Helmut Hirsch, a young, handsome Jewish boy of twenty, who came from Stuttgart. Like so many others, he appeared in my office one day asking to become a member of the Black Front. "I was a member of the Buendische Yugend, in Stuttgart," he told me, anticipating my question. "I thought that would be a good recommendation; I hoped you'd let me join you, give me something really important to do.

As the Leo Baeck Institute in London had for many years been occupied with the problem, representation and analysis of Jewish self-defence and Jewish resistance, I had been invited to speak at this ceremony.

  • Origins and Migrations, Interests and Identities Andreas W. Daum
    Introduction REFUGEES FROM NAZI GERMANY AS HISTORIANS Origins and Migrations, Interests and Identities Andreas W. Daum S Th is book deals with the biographies, scholarly oeuvres, and intellectual interests of men and women who were both professional historians and, in a particu- lar sense, “participants” in history.1 Th ey were born in the early twentieth cen- tury and grew up in Germany or the surrounding German-speaking territories usurped by the National Socialist regime before 1939. At a young age, they were forced to leave the so-called Th ird Reich and escaped to other countries. Th e families of these young refugees reacted to the discrimination and terror that the Nazis imposed on them. Th ey were no longer wanted in Germany. With few exceptions, they were targeted as Jews. In contrast to the older, fi rst generation of émigrés2 who fl ed the Nazi dictatorship after their university training had been completed, members of the younger, or second, generation acquired their academic degrees after their emigration and in the English-speaking world. Our volume concentrates on this younger cohort, specifi cally those who ultimately settled, or spent the bulk of their career, in North America; we also cast a look at England and Israel. In this second generation we encounter historians who lost their parents and family members in the Holocaust as well as scholars who escaped the Nazis via a Kindertransport (children’s transport) abroad. We fi nd one historian who was still a baby when his parents brought him to Shanghai, and another who parachuted as a U.S.
