The project began with the encouragement of Harold Z. Schiffrin, then chairman of the Department of East Asian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Eventually Avraham Altman, also of the department, joined the research project and we collaborated fruitfully for many years. I am grateful for their encouragement to persevere with this project, despite the lack of materials in Israeli libraries at the time. At an early stage of research and writing, when I enjoyed the hospitality of Harvard’s Fairbank Center, my friends there helped me define this history as part of Holocaust history. The many good talks we had are a cherished memory. I thank friends and colleagues who have read long portions of the text, Eli Joffe (deceased), Maisie Meyer, Yitzhak Shichor, Barbara Johnson and Paul Mendes-Flohr. To Paul Mendes-Flohr my debt of gratitude is boundless. With- out his help and unfailing support this book would continue to languish in a dark corner. To him I gratefully dedicate this volume. My friends’ useful com- ments were extremely helpful and I am grateful for the time they invested in reading these pages. Yitzhak Shichor especially saved me from a number of serious mistakes. Among scholars who have sent me often much needed materials, special thanks are due to Hartmut Walravens and Knut Walf. Over the years Wolfgang Kubin has patiently listened to my tirades about Shanghai. Nitza Wu, translator and dear friend, never failed to inquire about my progress and did not miss an opportunity to cheer me on. A number of archives opened their doors in my search for materials and to these I express my gratitude. They include YIVO, Yad Vashem, the American Joint Distribution Committee, and the Central Archive for the History of the Jewish People. Above all, I am grateful to Joan Hill and Itamar Livni. Joan Hill’s research in Harvard’s Widener Library has brought to light materials I did not suspect existed. Her help at every stage of writing is deeply appreciated. I am also vastly indebted to Itamar Livni, who read all of the chapters with a critical eye. He pointed out a number of crucial problems that needed correcting and clarification. He also prepared Appendix One of street names and Appendix Four of English and German language memoirs. He has my utmost gratitude for his friendship and his tireless help. Last but certainly not least, I am deeply grateful to Dr. Albrecht Doehnert and to Professor Wilhelm, editor of this series of Modern Jewish History, for her kind words of support. Dr. Doehnert’s encouragement to persevere has made possible the publication of this book. For Dr. Julia Brauch’s unstinting YLLL $FNQRZOHGJPHQWV encouragement and support I am more grateful than I can ever express. Her warm letters and sage advice accompanied me every step of the way in the process of seeing the volume into print. The skillful and painstaking copy editing by Ms. Marcia Rothschild has led to untold improvements of the text.

I haven't prepared for this, I haven't thought about it, I must say, because we've been very swamped in recent days. I'm the department chairman now and I've been swamped with administrative problems, financial among others. So I haven't thought about it, let me try to focus. Maybe you can say a few words to help me to focus. Steve Hochstadt: What I'd like you to do first, which will probably take up quite a bit of time, is for you to start at the very beginning of when you or your family first heard about Shanghai. Actually I'd like you to start a little bit earlier, to give me a bit of background about you and your family living in Europe, and then about hearing about Shanghai and making the preparations and going there, and then about your life in Shanghai during the whole time, a narrative sketch until coming to the United States.

  • Kiev 1941: Hitler's Battle for Supremacy in the East
    Kiev 1941 In just four weeks in the summer of 1941 the German Wehrmacht wrought unprecedented destruction on four Soviet armies, conquering central Ukraine and killing or capturing three-quarters of a million men. This was the battle of Kiev – one of the largest and most decisive battles of World War II and, for Hitler and Stalin, a battle of crucial importance. For the first time, David Stahel charts the battle’s dramatic course and after- math, uncovering the irreplaceable losses suffered by Germany’s ‘panzer groups’ despite their battlefield gains, and the implications of these losses for the German war effort. He illuminates the inner workings of the German army as well as the experiences of ordinary soldiers, showing that with the Russian winter looming and Soviet resistance still unbroken, victory came at huge cost and confirmed the turning point in Germany’s war in the east. David Stahel is an independent researcher based in Berlin. His previous publications include Operation Barbarossa and Germany’s Defeat in the East (Cambridge, 2009).

  • Panzer Campaigns: Tunisia ‘43
    Panzer Campaigns: Tunisia ‘43 Introduction Welcome to Panzer Campaigns latest title – Tunisia ’43 – the 20th title in a series which began in 1999 with Smolensk 41. While the series has grown, it has been enhanced along the way, to become arguably the most versatile and complete operational series of games covering World War II in Europe. And, while we feel there are still plenty of new titles to explore, the easiest of the well-known battles have been covered now and new titles provide the designers more challenges. The Beginning of Tunisia ‘43 Over time, Tunisia ’43 has become the most newly requested title on various forums or by email from supporters of the series. People often request new titles, but when they do they often don’t consider the size of the battle in terms of both time and distance. Typically, in previous Panzer Campaigns, we would pick a period that we were going to focus on. Then we would mark off on the map just how much area we needed and go from there. In any game, it isn’t uncommon to have a few scenarios from a period different for the main campaign focus if it falls in the map area. But at this early design phase, Tunisia was tricky for us to get our heads around. I would frequently ask people who requested this title to consider the battle for a minute and tell me, given the average of ten turns per day, what the start and end dates of the campaign should be? Then I would send them this image file of Tunisia (note the bar scale circled in this image is 50mi or 80km) and then asked that they draw a square around the area of the battle that we should focus the campaign around.

Berichterstatter : Professor Dr. Peter P a n t z e r 2. Berichterstatter : Professor Dr. Michael Wo l f f s o h n Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 09. Februar 2000 D a n k Mit Vorlage der Studie zur Politik des Kaiserreiches Japan gegenüber den aus Europa geflohenen Juden kommen mehrjährige Forschungsarbeiten zu einem vorläufigen Ende. Hinter der Aufmerksamkeit, die dem Vorhaben zuteil wurde, verbargen sich neben dem allgemeinen Interesse für das ungewöhnliche Thema auch fundierte wissenschaftliche Beratung und engagierte Hilfestellung. Dafür ist zu danken. In erster Linie dankt der Autor seinem ‚Doktorvater‘, Professor Dr. Peter Pantzer, für das intensive wissenschaftliche Geleit. Sein umfangreiches Wissen über die historisch-psychologische Befindlichkeit Japans und seine vielseitige Erfahrung im Umgang mit der japanischen Materie machten den qualifizierten Zugang zum Thema möglich und halfen bei der wissenschaftlichen Bewäl- tigung. Professor Dr. Michael Wolffsohn wird für sein Interesse an der Arbeit und die spontane Bereitschaft, die Studie zu begleiten und das Zweitgutachten anzufertigen, hiermit besonders gedankt. Die Schwerpunkte der Recherchen lagen auf japanischer Seite. Zeitlich aufwendige Arbeiten in Archiven und Forschungsstellen in Japan und später in den USA wurden überall bereitwillig durch Rat und Hilfe erleichtert. Bei der Fülle des Materials gaben die zahlreichen Gespräche mit dem Abteilungsleiter im Diplomatischen Archiv des japanischen Außenministeriums (Gaimûshô Gaikôshiryôkan), Shiraishi Masaaki, Richtung und Auswahl vor.
