SUSI EISENBERG-BACH Dutch Publishers of German Exile Literature Without Any Exile Publishers There Could Exist No Exile Literatu SUSI EISENBERG-BACH Dutch publishers of German exile literature Without any exile publishers there could exist no exile literature, that is the literature in German language outside of Germany between 1933 and 1950. Those books that could no longer be printed in Germany were at first pub- lished in Austria and then also in Switzerland, in France, in England, in Sweden and above all in the Netherlands. At that time, books in German were also printed in Russia, Czechoslovakia as well as in North and Latin America. The most intense publishing activity, however, took place in Holland. Already in April 1933-even before the burning of the books in Berlin and other German cities which happened on 10 May 1933-Querido and Allert de Lange began their activity. It was Emanuel Querido himself who took the initiative. In April 1933 the translator Nico Rost visited, in the name of Emanuel Querido, Fritz Helmut Landshoff who was then still living in Berlin. He was one of the directors of the publishing firm Kiepenheuer. Rost asked Landshoff whether he was willing to direct a publishing department for German books in Amsterdam. He explained that Querido had the intention to print literary works by German-speaking authors, literary as well as other works which were forbidden in Germany, as a new department of his Dutch publishing firm. For Landshoff this proposition came like a gift from heaven because he could no longer stay in his apartment which had been searched by the Nazis a few days before. Therefore, after Rost's visit, he took the night train to Amsterdam and already on the day of his arrival in Amster- dam everything was settled and Landshoff became the director of the Ger- man department of Emanuel Querido Uitgeversmaatschappij at the Keizersgracht. It was about the same time that Hermann Kesten was asked by Gerard de Lange (who had become managing director of Allert de Lange's after his father's death in 1932) to direct the German department of his publishing firm. He very gladly agreed and took over the literary section of that publisher, whereas Walter Landauer was its technical director. Emanuel Querido as well as Allert de Lange had been firm adversaries of fascism from the very beginning. With these new activities they meant to give to the exiled authors a new field of activity and means to survive. At Querido's Landshoff got the help of Klaus Mann who soon founded 217 his periodical Die Sammlung-which existed from 1933 to 1935-under the aegis of Heinrich Mann, Aldous Huxley and Andr6 Gide. It was at first a mainly literary periodical, but a little later it printed also political articles which aroused strong opposition. After 24 issues it died owing to lack of funds. At Allert de Lange's Leopold Schwarzschild issued Das Neue Tagebuch in Amsterdam as well as also in Paris. It survived from 1933 to 1940 (both these periodicals became later available as Kraus reprints). Each of these two publishing firms had 'their' authors, though a few ap- peared in both. Here are the principal authors (literary ones) at Querido's: Vicky Baum, Georg Bernhard, Bernard von Brentano, Emil Bernhard Cohn, Alfred Doblin, Albert Einstein (Mein Weltbild), Lion Feuchtwanger, Bruno Frank, Leonhard Frank, Alexander M. Frey, Ernst Glaeser, Oskar Maria Graf, Martin Gumpert, Konrad Heiden, Thomas Theodor Heine, Heinrich Eduard Jacob, Henry William Katz, Kurt Kersten, Hermann Kersten (but only after the war), Irmgard Keun, Annette Kolb (also after the war), Emil Ludwig, Erika Mann, Heinrich Mann, Klaus Mann, Konrad Merz, Robert Neumann, Rudolf Olden, Alfred Polgar, Anna Reiner, Erich Maria Remarque, Joseph Roth, Leopold Schwarzschild, Anna Seghers, Wilhelm Speyer, Carl Sternheim, Ernst Toller, Jakob Wassermann, Ernst Weiss, Victoria Wolf, Alfred Wolfenstein, Otto Zarek, and Arnold Zweig. Allert de Lange's authors were: Schalom Asch, Georg Bernhard, Franz Blei, Bert Brecht, Max Brod, Ferdinand Bruckner ( = Theodor Tagger), Hans Flesch-Bruningen (alias Vinzenz Brun), Jolan Foldes, Sigmund Freud, Georg Hermann, bd6n von Horvath, Henry William Katz, Gina Kaus, Herman Kesten, Irmgard Keun, Egon Erwin Kisch, Annette Kolb, Alma Mahler, Hans Natonek, Alfred Neumann, Leo Perutz, Theodor Pli(e)vier, Alfred Polgar, Joseph Roth, Rene Schickele, Annemarie Selinko, Adrienne Thomas, Karl Tschuppik, Friedrich Walter, Christa Winsloe, Theodor Wolff, Stefan Zweig. I may mention that I did not find these lists of authors anywhere else, but that they are the result of my own research: each filing card represents a physical book which went through my hands. Thomas Mann does not appear in any of these two lists, but before the publication of the first volume of his Joseph tetralogy he had intended to have it published by Querido: 'This morning I wrote a letter to him (i.e. Gottfried Bermann of S. Fischer in Berlin which at that time, on the 24th of August of 1933, still existed there) ... where I admonished him very 1 earnestly to realize the situation and to give this volume to Querido.

    James Bernauer, S.J. Boston College From European Anti-Jesuitism to German Anti-Jewishness: A Tale of Two Texts “Jews and Jesuits will move heaven and hell against you.” --Kurt Lüdecke, in conversation with Adolf Hitleri A Presentation at the Conference “Honoring Stanislaw Musial” Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland (March 5, 2009) The current intense debate about the significance of “political religion” as a mode of analyzing fascism leads us to the core of the crisis in understanding the Holocaust.ii Saul Friedländer has written of an “historian‟s paralysis” that “arises from the simultaneity and the interaction of entirely heterogeneous phenomena: messianic fanaticism and bureaucratic structures, pathological impulses and administrative decrees, archaic attitudes within an advanced industrial society.”iii Despite the conflicting voices in the discussion of political religion, the debate does acknowledge two relevant facts: the obvious intermingling in Nazism of religious and secular phenomena; secondly, the underestimated role exercised by Munich Catholicism in the early life of the Nazi party.iv My essay is an effort to illumine one thread in this complex territory of political religion and Nazism and my title conveys its hypotheses. First, that the centuries long polemic against the Roman Catholic religious order the Jesuits, namely, its fabrication of the Jesuit image as cynical corrupter of Christianity and European culture, provided an important template for the Nazi imagining of Jewry after its emancipation.v This claim will be exhibited in a consideration of two historically influential texts: the Monita 1 secreta which demonized the Jesuits and the Protocols of the Sages of Zion which diabolized the Jews.vi In the light of this examination, I shall claim that an intermingled rhetoric of Jesuit and Jewish wills to power operated in the imagination of some within the Nazi leadership, the most important of whom was Adolf Hitler himself.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. Thefollowing explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page ($)''. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. Whan an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that die photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You w ill find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • GERMAN MASQUERADE Part 4
    Beyond Alexanderplatz ALFRED DÖBLIN GERMAN MASQUERADE WRITINGS ON POLITICS, LIFE, AND LITERATURE IN CHAOTIC TIMES Part 4: Literature Edited and translated by C.D. Godwin https://beyond-alexanderplatz.com Alfred Döblin (10 August 1878 – 26 June 1957) has only slowly become recognised as one of the greatest 20th century writers in German. His works encompass epic fictions, novels, short stories, political essays and journalism, natural philosophy, the theory and practice of literary creation, and autobiographical excursions. His many-sided, controversial and even contradictory ideas made him a lightning-conductor for the philosophical and political confusions that permeated 20th century Europe. Smart new editions of Döblin’s works appear every decade or two in German, and a stream of dissertations and major overviews reveal his achievements in more nuanced ways than earlier critiques polarised between hagiography and ignorant dismissal. In the Anglosphere Döblin remains known, if at all, for only one work: Berlin Alexanderplatz. Those few of his other works that have been translated into English are not easily found. Hence publishers, editors and critics have no easy basis to evaluate his merits, and “because Döblin is unknown, he shall remain unknown.” Döblin’s non-fiction writings provide indispensable glimpses into his mind and character as he grapples with catastrophes, confusions and controversies in his own life and in the wider world of the chaotic 20th century. C. D. Godwin translated Döblin’s first great epic novel, The Three Leaps of Wang Lun, some 30 years ago (2nd ed. NY Review Books 2015). Since retiring in 2012 he has translated four more Döblin epics (Wallenstein, Mountains Oceans Giants, Manas, and The Amazonas Trilogy) as well as numerous essays.

  • Why Adolf Hitler's Psychiatric Treatment at the End Of
    Review article Deconstructing the myth of Pasewalk: Why Adolf Hitler’s psychiatric treatment at the end of World War I bears no relevance JAN ARMBRUSTER1, PETER THEISS-ABENDROTH2 1 Klinik für Forensische Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie, Helios Hanseklinikum Stralsund, Stralsund, Germany. 2 Touro College Berlin, Berlin, Germany. Received: 9/15/2015 – Accepted: 6/11/2016 DOI: 10.1590/0101-60830000000085 Abstract Background: Even more than 70 years after the end of WW II, questions regarding the personality of dictator Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) remain unresolved. Among them, there is a focus on the problem of his state of mental health, in particular on the possible relevance of the medical treatment he received for a war injury at the military hospital of the small German town of Pasewalk in the last days of WW I. Some authors have come to postulate a profound change of his personality due either to a psychic trauma suffered or a hypnotic therapy he supposedly underwent for curing a hysterical blindness. Objectives: The assump- tions about Hitler’s war injury which rely on only two significant sources shall be assessed for their validity. Methods: Existing historical sources and inferred hypotheses will be discussed in the light of alternative interpretations. Results: The mentioned suppositions reveal their highly arbitrary character: neither a hysterical blindness of Hitler’s nor a hypnotic treatment at Pasewalk military hospital can be substantiated. Discussion: Given the fact that Hitler’s medical sheet is most likely irrevocably lost, the authors plea for the acceptance of the limitations of historical research, even more so since the occurrences in Pasewalk lack any deeper importance for a historic assessment of Hitler’s personality.

  • Ernst Toller - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Ernst Toller - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Ernst Toller(1 December 1893 – 22 May 1939) Ernst Toller was a left-wing German playwright, best known for his Expressionist plays and serving as President of the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, for six days. <b>Biography</b> Ernst Toller was born in Samotschin, Poland, on 1st December 1893. His father was a successful Jewish wholesale merchant. He was schooled in Bromberg where depsite describing it as a "school of miseducation and militarization", he was able to begin his literary career with the publication of a number of articles in the local newspaper and then poetry. In 1914 Toller moved to France in order to study law at the University of Grenoble. However, within six months the onset of the First World War meant he had returned home and signed up for the German army. Within a year he was fighting on the front lines, but by 1916 he was taken ill, suffering from "physical exhaustion and a complete nervous breakdown". In January 1917, now lacking his initial enthusiasm for the war and instead shocked by the high level of carnage, he was discharged from the army. Following this, Toller moved to Munich to return to his studies at Heidelberg University. Here he became friends with sociologist Max Weber. In May 1917 the pair took part in the first "Lauensteiner conference", where they cordially disagreed about the course of the war. Whilst Weber argued for the continuation of the war, Toller favoured a negotiated peace.

The Changing View of Abortion: A Study of Friedrich Wolf's Cyankali and Arnold Zweig's Junge Frau von 1914 Abstract With the end of the nineteenth century, women start becoming more independent, demanding more rights, making a place for themselves in society. The docile woman who is seduced by the socially higher male and in desperation commits infanticide begins to fade from literature. At the same time a new woman with a fresh vitality emerges and deals with the old problem of pregnancy and abortion. Two works which treat this type of woman are examined and the parallels as well as the differences between the portrayal are established.
