In class, Hans-Georg Gadamer's concept 3f effective-historical consciousness can be used to evaluate the allegedly propagandistic messages in Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will." Analysis of this 1934 film reveals how it reinforced racial doctrines propagated by the Nazis and by scientists who sympathized with these racial views. Somewhat paradoxically, Riefenstahl's film may be considered a harbinger of twogenres in film whose essences seem contradictory: documentary and propaganda. "Triumph of the Will" contains no narration whatsoever after brief introductory remarks. Nat verbalized, these remarks are printedon successive screens in short phrases. This lack of narration reduces the critical distance between viewer and event. The opening scene features Adolf Hitler emerging from a plane to grace Nuremberg with his presence, and to rescue and transform Germany.

Susan Sontag argued in a seminal article for the New York Review of Books that Riefenstahl’s “superb” films of the 1930s were powerful propaganda as well as important documentary art made by “a film-maker of genius.”1 She concluded that Triumph des Willens/Triumph of the Will (DE, 1935) was “a film whose very conception negates the possibility of the filmmaker’s having an aesthetic concep- tion independent of propaganda.”2 Although still an important source, Sontag’s assessment has been seriously challenged on a number of counts.

THE NAZI BLOOD PURGE OF 1934 APPRCWBD": \r H M^jor Professor 7 lOLi Minor Professor •n p-Kairman of the DeparCTieflat. of History / cr^LtxJ~<2^ Dean oiTKe Graduate School IV Burkholder, Vaughn, The Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Master of Arts, History, August, 1972, 147 pp., appendix, bibliography, 160 titles. This thesis deals with the problem of determining the reasons behind the purge conducted by various high officials in the Nazi regime on June 30-July 2, 1934. Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and others used the purge to eliminate a sizable and influential segment of the SA leadership, under the pretext that this group was planning a coup against the Hitler regime. Also eliminated during the purge were sundry political opponents and personal rivals. Therefore, to explain Hitler's actions, one must determine whether or not there was a planned putsch against him at that time. Although party and official government documents relating to the purge were ordered destroyed by Hermann GcTring, certain materials in this category were used. Especially helpful were the Nuremberg trial records; Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-1939; Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945; and Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1934. Also, first-hand accounts, contem- porary reports and essays, and analytical reports of a /1J-14 secondary nature were used in researching this topic. Many memoirs, written by people in a position to observe these events, were used as well as the reports of the American, British, and French ambassadors in the German capital.

I Stick My Neck out for Nobody

With permission of the publisher, W. W. Norton & Company, Inc. All rights reserved. Chapter 3 I Stick My Neck Out for Nobody Propertyuring of the W. 1930s, W. and intoNorton the early ’40s,& Company as the Great D Depression continued to cast its long shadow and dis- tressing memories of the Great War were still fresh in the minds of most Americans, politicians and the public at large were disinclined to meddle with the political affairs of Europe. Even after Hitler’s stunning ascent in Germany in January 1933, and the gradual rise of fascism in Italy, Americans showed little interest in waging an opposition. Hollywood, for its part, was no exception. Most studios, still reliant on sig- nificant revenue streams from the European export market, which into the mid-1930s constituted 30 to 40 percent of its box-office profits, fiercely avoided subjects that could be- con strued as offensive or insensitive. A typical attitude, voiced by M-G-M producer Irving Thalberg after returning from a trip to Germany in 1934, was “Hitler and Hitlerism will pass.” The 85 WellAlwaysHaveCasablanca_txt_final.indd 85 11/10/16 2:14 PM We’ll Always Have Casablanca imposition of the anti-Jewish Nuremberg Laws in 1935 didn’t stop most studios from continuing to retain cordial business ties with Nazi Germany, nor did the ruthless expansion of the Third Reich. “Fascism tipped the European applecart,” wrote journalist Helen Zigmond in a sobering report from December 1938, several months after the Anschluss and just weeks after the violent pogroms of Kristallnacht, “and Hollywood, instead of crying out against the bunglers, still scrambles for the fruit.” Although not without fault, Warner Bros.

The booklet features us with questions, comments or ideas! information and images of digitized primary sources from the Library of Congress that you may use in your classroom. These images were selected for their relevance and as a means to engage students and encourage inquiry. Items can be found by typing the item’s title in the Why Teach with Primary Sources Primary Sources provide a window into the past-unfiltered access to the record of artistic, social, scientific and political thought and achievement during the specific period under study, produced by people who lived during that period. Bringing students into close contact with these unique, often profoundly personal, documents and objects can give them a very real sense of what it was like to be alive during a long-past era. Primary sources engage students by helping them relate in a personal way to events of the past and promote a deeper understanding of history. Because primary sources are snippets of history, they encourage students to seek additional evidence through research. Primary sources develop critical thinking skills. Primary sources are often incomplete and have little context. Students must use prior knowledge and work with multiple primary sources to find patterns.

What Are the Former Nazi Party Rally Grounds? from “Sleeping” Cipher to Productive Monument for the Future of Remembrance
embracing humanity - Menschlichkeit als Maß what are the former nazi party rally grounds? from “sleeping” cipher to productive monument for the future of remembrance Idea and concept: Marietta Piekenbrock on behalf of the Bid Office, N2025 - European Capital of Culture, Director: Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Wagner, May 2020 Everyone living in Western democracies has Nuremberg in their history. The former Reichsparteitagsgelände, known in English as the Nazi party rally grounds is one of the largest places of remembrance in Europe. The Zeppelin grandstand and the unfinished Congress Hall illustrate the architectural militarism of National Socialism. The scaleless psychological function of its architecture was to mould individuals into a Volksgemeinschaft, a national or ethnic community that is willing to make sacrifices and to use violence. There are reasons to doubt the effectiveness of our public culture of remembrance. Two generations after the Holocaust, anti-Semitism and racism are again on the rise, not only in our urban and media spaces, but also among the elites. Where does this sinister trend originate? In what gestures is it manifested in urban planning? What driving forces result from these dynamics for dealing with monuments and national myths? What driving forces result from these dynamics for dealing with monuments and places of remembrance? Not only government and scholars, but also art and culture are facing new challenges and tasks. embracing humanity - Menschlichkeit als Maß The German word Schauplatz describes an arena, a scene, a setting or location and, literally, a showplace. If we probe the meaning, we are soon examining the history of the theatre, a genre from which the eventful, presentational character attached to the term is derived.

Marine Und Öffentlichkeit 1919—1939
Walter Schwengler Marine und Öffentlichkeit 1919—1939 Der Flottenbau der Kaiserlichen Marine vom ersten Flottengesetz (1898) bis zum Be- ginn des Ersten Weltkriegs wurde von einer Propaganda begleitet, deren Ausmaß alles bis dahin Bekannte bei weitem übertraf. Das Besondere daran war die Tatsache, daß sie von dem 1897 gebildeten Nachrichtenbureau im Reichsmarineamt, mithin einem Organ der staatlichen Exekutive, gestaltet und gelenkt wurde. Mit großem Erfolg setz- ten einige wenige Marineoffiziere alle an der Jahrhundertwende zur Verfügung ste- henden Informations-und Propagandamittel ein, um die Flottenpolitik von Staatsse- kretär Alfred v. Tirpitz gegenüber der Öffentlichkeit zu erläutern und für ihre Unter- stützung zu werben. Die mittelbaren Wirkungen der Tätigkeit des Nachrichtenbu- reaus im Reichsmarineamt gingen über den Bereich der Marinepolitik, die ja für einige Jahre durchaus die Gesamtpolitik des Deutschen Reiches bestimmte, sogar noch weit hinaus: Durch das Einbeziehen der Öffentlichkeit in die Auseinandersetzungen über die Rüstung wurden sowohl nationalistisch-plebiszitäre Kräfte — vornehmlich im »Deutschen Flotten-Verein« zum Ausdruck kommend — geweckt als auch parlamen- tarisch-demokratische Kräfte gestärkt. Letztere durch den Umstand, daß der Reichs- tag aufgrund seines Budgetrechts an öffentlicher Beachtung gewann, obgleich die Tir- pitzsche Politik der Flottengesetze und -novellen auf das Aternat und damit auf eine einschneidende Beschränkung der parlamentarischen Mitsprache zielte. Nicht zuletzt förderte das ständige
