Das, was uns versprochen wird, muss auch umgesetzt werden.“ Diese klare Forderung an die evangelische Kirche stellt Katharina Kracht, die als Jugendliche im Konfirmandenunter- richt von einem Pfarrer missbraucht wurde. Heute setzt sie sich ein für die Opfer sexualisierter Gewalt in der evangelischen Kirche. Aber wie steht es mit der Aufarbeitung dieses Themas? Wie weit sind EKD und Landeskir- chen auf diesem Weg gekommen? Die Bilanz fällt zwiespältig aus, zeigt eine Recherche, die Teil unseres Schwerpunktes zum Missbrauch in der evange- lischen Kirche ist. Mehr darüber lesen Sie ab Seite 26. Um ein anderes Schuldthema der Kirchengeschichte geht es in einem Text des Historikers Manfred Gailus über den renommierten Tübinger Neutesta- mentler Gerhard Kittel (1888 – 1948). Dieser war ein glühender Judenfeind und bezeichnete das Judentum als „Krankheit am deutschen Volkskörper“. Reue zeigte er nach dem Krieg nicht und sein Theologisches Wörterbuch zum Neuen Testament (ThWNT) zählte noch lange für Generationen von Studie- renden zum Standardwerk. Den Text von Manfred Gailus finden Sie ab Seite 50. Nicht um Schuld, aber um Gewissensfragen geht es beim Thema assistierter Suizid, das nicht erst seit dem Urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichtes ethi- sche Diskussionen prägt. Doch wie soll das Personal in Pflegeheimen reagie- ren, wenn ein Patient den Wunsch nach Selbsttötung äußert? Die Evange- lische Heimstiftung in Stuttgart, Trägerin von 145 Pflegeeinrichtungen, will mit einem Papier Orientierung bieten. Möglicherweise ein Modell für all die anderen Einrichtungen in evangelischer Trägerschaft, die sich tagtäglich zu diesem Thema positionieren müssen? Lesen Sie dazu den Text von Thomas Mäule ab Seite 15. Auch wenn das alles keine leichten Themen sind, wünschen wir Ihnen eine anregende Lektüre. Kommen Sie gesund durch diese Monate!

  • Karl Barth's Contribution to the German Church Struggle Against National
    Karl Barth’s contribution to the German Church struggle against National Socialism Ramathate Dolamo Department of Philosophy and Systematic Theology, University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa Abstract Germany was under a totalitarian regime led by Adolf Hitler from 1933 to 1945. This article looks at the responses of the churches in Germany during that period. In particular, Karl Barth’s theology on church and state is examined to determine to what extent it did assist Germany in fighting National Socialism and in rebuilding Germany after the war. The author is of the view that most of Barth’s insights could be relevant and would be applicable today especially in those countries that are still being ruled by autocrats and dictators. Introduction Not only do theologians differ as to whether the (divine) com- mand should be grounded in the Christology or in the “orders of creation”, but also some theologians appear unwilling to recognise that the command is the ground and the instrument of God’s creative will of love both in originating and in sustaining creation in its historical development (Maimela 1984:158). Karl Barth’s views on sociopolitical matters especially those on church and state relations that he started to formulate during his Safenwil pastorate in 1911 were put to the harshest and rigorous test during the reign of Adolf Hitler from 1933 to the end of World War II in 1945. This article is an appre- ciation of the insights of Barth as a theologian and as an activist during the church struggle in Germany against National Socialism.

  • Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory
    To Our Dead: Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory by Jeffrey P. Luppes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Germanic Languages and Literatures) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Andrei S. Markovits, Chair Professor Geoff Eley Associate Professor Julia C. Hell Associate Professor Johannes von Moltke © Jeffrey P. Luppes 2010 To My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a dissertation is a long, arduous, and often lonely exercise. Fortunately, I have had unbelievable support from many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Andrei S. Markovits. Andy has played the largest role in my development as a scholar. In fact, his seminal works on German politics, German history, collective memory, anti-Americanism, and sports influenced me intellectually even before I arrived in Ann Arbor. The opportunity to learn from and work with him was the main reason I wanted to attend the University of Michigan. The decision to come here has paid off immeasurably. Andy has always pushed me to do my best and has been a huge inspiration—both professionally and personally—from the start. His motivational skills and dedication to his students are unmatched. Twice, he gave me the opportunity to assist in the teaching of his very popular undergraduate course on sports and society. He was also always quick to provide recommendation letters and signatures for my many fellowship applications. Most importantly, Andy helped me rethink, re-work, and revise this dissertation at a crucial point.

  • Journalists and Religious Activists in Polish-German Relations
    THE PROJECT OF RECONCILIATION: JOURNALISTS AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVISTS IN POLISH-GERMAN RELATIONS, 1956-1972 Annika Frieberg 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 Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Dr. Konrad H. Jarausch Dr. Christopher Browning Dr. Chad Bryant Dr. Karen Hagemann Dr. Madeline Levine ©2008 Annika Frieberg ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ANNIKA FRIEBERG: The Project of Reconciliation: Journalists and Religious Activists in Polish-German Relations, 1956-1972 (under the direction of Konrad Jarausch) My dissertation, “The Project of Reconciliation,” analyzes the impact of a transnational network of journalists, intellectuals, and publishers on the postwar process of reconciliation between Germans and Poles. In their foreign relations work, these non-state actors preceded the Polish-West German political relations that were established in 1970. The dissertation has a twofold focus on private contacts between these activists, and on public discourse through radio, television and print media, primarily its effects on political and social change between the peoples. My sources include the activists’ private correspondences, interviews, and memoirs as well as radio and television manuscripts, articles and business correspondences. Earlier research on Polish-German relations is generally situated firmly in a nation-state framework in which the West German, East German or Polish context takes precedent. My work utilizes international relations theory and comparative reconciliation research to explore the long-term and short-term consequences of the discourse and the concrete measures which were taken during the 1960s to end official deadlock and nationalist antagonisms and to overcome the destructive memories of the Second World War dividing Poles and Germans.

  • 4. the Nazis Take Power
    4. The Nazis Take Power Anyone who interprets National Socialism as merely a political movement knows almost nothing about it. It is more than a religion. It is the determination to create the new man. ADOLF HITLER OVERVIEW Within weeks of taking office, Adolf Hitler was altering German life. Within a year, Joseph Goebbels, one of his top aides, could boast: The revolution that we have made is a total revolution. It encompasses every aspect of public life from the bottom up… We have replaced individuality with collective racial consciousness and the individual with the community… We must develop the organizations in which every individual’s entire life will be regulated by the Volk community, as represented by the Party. There is no longer arbitrary will. There are no longer any free realms in which the individual belongs to himself… The time of personal happiness is over.1 How did Hitler do it? How did he destroy the Weimar Republic and replace it with a totalitarian government – one that controls every part of a person’s life? Many people have pointed out that he did not destroy democracy all at once. Instead, he moved gradually, with one seemingly small compromise leading to another and yet another. By the time many were aware of the danger, they were isolated and alone. This chapter details those steps. It also explores why few Germans protested the loss of their freedom and many even applauded the changes the Nazis brought to the nation. Historian Fritz Stern offers one answer. “The great appeal of National Socialism – and perhaps of every totalitarian dictatorship in this century – was the promise of absolute authority.

    The Raul Hilberg Memorial Lecture The University of Vermont April 15, 2013 German Churches and the Holocaust Assessing the Argument for Complicity Robert P. Ericksen Kurt Mayer Chair in Holocaust Studies Pacific Lutheran University The Carolyn and Leonard Miller Center for Holocaust Studies GERMAN CHURCHES AND THE HOLOCAUST ASSESSING THE ARGUMENT FOR COMPLICITY The Raul Hilberg Memorial Lecture University of Vermont April 15, 2013 Robert P. Ericksen Kurt Mayer Chair in Holocaust Studies Pacific Lutheran University I am pleased to deliver the Raul Hilberg Memorial Lecture, not only for the chance to join the impressive list of prior speakers, but because of Raul Hilberg himself. He was the man who essentially invented Holocaust Studies, completing his path-breaking work while teaching here at the University of Vermont. When Hilberg began his graduate program in political science at Columbia University, he was twenty-two years old. At that time, in 1948, he focused already on the idea and the research project that would make him known to all of us. Here is his description of that moment in his 1996 book, Politics of Memory: "I had become sure of myself, secure in my decision, certain that I would fill in the pieces of my jigsaw puzzle."1 He soon approached one of his professors at Columbia, Franz Neumann, the author of Behemoth and an imposing scholar on Nazi Germany.2 Hilberg asked Neumann if he would take on his proposal for a doctoral dissertation, "The Destruction of the European Jews." Neumann said yes, but he then added the comment, "It's your funeral."3 This exchange took place just three years after the defeat of Hitler's Germany and long before Holocaust Studies had begun to make its mark in the world of ideas.

  • Lest We Forget #624 DATE:1/11/92 AGAIN the UGLY AMERICAN It
    '" Lest We Forget #624 DATE:1/11/92 AGAIN THE UGLY AMERICAN It was embarrassing to have the President of the United States throw up at a state dinner and collapse on the floor. He was in the midst of what was supposed to be an important mission to get from our Japanese superiors in economic management a boost for the American economy. The "hero" of the embarrassing moment was Barbara Bush. In fact, she was the only saving feature of the Japanese stop on the trip. Iacocca of Chrysler boasted on his return that the corporate executives with the Bush team had really given the Japanese "something to look at." Iacocca was wrong again: the Japanese executives have long since taken the measure of the American executives. The heads of Chrysler, GM and Ford didn't surprise the Japanese statesmen and business executives at all. The Japanese had already looked at them and understood what they were looking at: over-paid and under-brained corporate executives, taking care of their personal interests while their employees and their country suffered. Barbara Bush was something guite strange for them, however: a woman in command of a crisis, responding with calm presence, being an active and useful stand-in for her indisposed spouse, even speaking with a touch of humor. And TV gave us "the whole story." We saw the exhibitionist Iacocca in Detroit as we had earlier seen the sick Bush in Tokyo. TV took us there when Gorbachev came out of the jaws of death at the end of the failed coup d'etat in the collapsed USSR, and we remember that he looked a lot healthier than Bush leaving Japan.

  • Denazifying Germany: German Protestantism and the Response to Denazification in the American Zone, 1945-1948
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by White Rose E-theses Online Denazifying Germany: German Protestantism and the Response to Denazification in the American Zone, 1945-1948 By Malcolm Coates University of York Department of History Master of Arts by Research September 2014 Abstract Following the Second World War, Germany underwent a process designed to remove elements of Nazism from its population called denazification, and this process was the most far reaching in the United States’ Zone. As Germany lay in ruins, the Church experienced a surge in popularity, and the Protestant church in particular began to explore issues of guilt and judgment. In this dissertation, I aim to explore the relationship between the US Military Government, led by General Lucius Clay, and the Evangelical Church of Germany (EKD), led by Bishop Theophil Wurm, Martin Niemöller and others, on this issue of denazification. The first phase of denazification, which lasted from May 1945 – March 1946 was administered by the United States. This was the harshest phase of the process, where everyone in the US Zone had to defend their time during the war years, and many were arrested without trial simply for having an affiliation with Nazism. Due to the size of the task and the return home of many American troops, however, denazification was transferred over to German administration in 1946, and generally made more lenient thereafter. Although the council of the EKD accepted their own guilt at Stuttgart, they believed that denazification could not morally rehabilitate the Germans into society.
