The associated rhet- oric of anti-fascism, anti-imperialism and anti-racism made it possible for anti-Zionism to burst beyond the bounds of European neo-Nazi circles as well as its Arab and Palestinian or Islamist boundaries and became an enduring element of global Communist, radical leftist and third worldist politics.

Abstract The following thesis looks at the subject of communist-oriented opposition in the GDR. More specifically, it considers how this phenomenon has been reconstructed in the state-mandated memory landscape of the Federal Republic of Germany since unification in 1990. It does so by presenting three case studies of particular representative value. The first looks at the former member of the Politbüro Paul Merker and how his entanglement in questions surrounding antifascism and antisemitism in the 1950s has become a significant trope in narratives of national (de-)legitimisation since 1990. The second delves into the phenomenon of the dissident through the aperture of prominent singer-songwriter, Wolf Biermann, who was famously exiled in 1976.

  • The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals In
    Writing in Red: The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 Thomas William Goldstein 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 2010 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher Browning Chad Bryant Karen Hagemann Lloyd Kramer ©2010 Thomas William Goldstein ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Thomas William Goldstein Writing in Red The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) Since its creation in 1950 as a subsidiary of the Cultural League, the East German Writers Union embodied a fundamental tension, one that was never resolved during the course of its forty-year existence. The union served two masters – the state and its members – and as such, often found it difficult fulfilling the expectations of both. In this way, the union was an expression of a basic contradiction in the relationship between writers and the state: the ruling Socialist Unity Party (SED) demanded ideological compliance, yet these writers also claimed to be critical, engaged intellectuals. This dissertation examines how literary intellectuals and SED cultural officials contested and debated the differing and sometimes contradictory functions of the Writers Union and how each utilized it to shape relationships and identities within the literary community and beyond it. The union was a crucial site for constructing a group image for writers, both in terms of external characteristics (values and goals for participation in wider society) and internal characteristics (norms and acceptable behavioral patterns guiding interactions with other union members).

  • Central Europe
    Central Europe WEST GERMANY HE WEST GERMAN ECONOMY continued to expand between July 1955 and TJune 1956. After June, production declined slightly. The gross national product rose 11 per cent in 1955, to 60 per cent above 1950. Industrial pro- duction, up 16 per cent, doubled that of 1950. The index (1936= 100) was 221 by June 1956. But West Berlin only regained the 1936 level. Employment in the Federal Republic was more than 800,000 above the previous year. In part, this was due to the influx of almost 300,000 refugees from East Germany during 1955-56. Unemployment, at 479,000, or 2.5 per cent of the labor force of 18.4 million, was the lowest since the end of World War II. West Berlin unemployment fell, but was still 11.3 per cent. Output per man was up 17 per cent in 1955, while wages rose only 12 per cent. The July 1956 cost of living index (1950 = 100) at 113, was 2.3 per cent above July 1955. National consumption rose 12 per cent during 1955-56, but old age pensioners, war invalids and widows, and the lowest categories of un- skilled workers, were barely touched by the "economic miracle," and contin- ued to exist near the subsistence level. Steel production, exceeding that of either France or Britain, reached a post- war high of 21,700,000 tons in the twelve months under review. Some of the Ruhr steel and coal combines, split up by the Allies to destroy "dangerous concentrations of economic power," recombined in new forms.

According to Irene Girtner (aka Elli Schmidt), her comrades opened lectures to female audiences with the question: 'Is it not a fact that Hitler came to power only because a high proportion of women succumbed to the poison of Nazi propaganda?'l A year later, Schmidt rued, Communists continued to make the 'error' of expounding on the guilt women bore for the fascist seizure of power.2 As late as May 1947, another woman in the party felt the need to point out that, infact, women had voted at a lower rate for Hitler in I928, only catching up to the male vote in I93I-2.3 For her part, Elli Schmidt did not question the accuracy of the charge but its political acumen.

  • Zwischen Kriegsende Und Gründung Der Bundesrepublik
    Klaus J. Becker Zwischen ultralinker Parteiopposition und titoistischer Verfemung Die pfälzische KPD 1919-1956 Die revolutionären Nachkriegsphase 1919-1924 Die Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands wurde am 1. Januar 1919 zum Abschluß einer dreitägigen Reichskonferenz des von Karl Liebknecht und Rosa Luxemburg geführten Spartakusbundes und der Internationalen Kommunisten Deutschlands ins Leben gerufen. Unter den 127 Delegierten des Gründungsparteitages fand sich zwar kein offizieller Vertreter aus der Pfalz, aber mit Karl Minster ein gebürtiger Edenkobener1. Da die Siegermächte des Ersten Weltkriegs in ihren Besatzungszonen der KPD zunächst jegliche Tätigkeit untersagten, war ihren wenigen Sympathisanten in der Pfalz nur eine Fraktionstätigkeit innerhalb der USPD möglich. Entsprechend mußten auch Ende 1919 die ersten drei Ortsgruppen in Speyer, Ludwigshafen und Mechtersheim illegal gegründet werden. Erst im März 1920 wurde die KPD in der Pfalz offiziell zugelassen2. Auf einem Wahlzettel in der Pfalz fand sich die Partei erstmals am 6. Juni 1920 bei den Wahlen zum ersten Reichstag der Weimarer Republik sowie bei den Neuwahlen zum bayerischen Landtag. Beide Wahlkämpfe wurden von der KPD zur Gründung von neuen Ortsgruppen in Frankenthal und Kaiserslautern genutzt. Trotzdem lag das Wahlergebnis der KPD bei den Reichtagswahlen in der Pfalz mit 0,8 % noch unter ihrem Reichsdurchschnitt von 1,7 %. Dies entsprach 2.782 Wählerstimmen, wovon ihr allein 1.227 (3,2 %) in Ludwigshafen, 498 (4,3 %) in Speyer, 245 (2,3 %) in Frankenthal und 208 (0,9 %) in Kaiserslautern zugefallen waren. Das Ergebnis der Landtagswahl ergab keinen wesentlichen Unterschied. Damit ist offensichtlich, daß die Basis der Wählerschaft der KPD unmittelbar mit den bereits vorhanden Ortsgruppen in der Pfalz verknüpft war.

Key concepts Change Consequences Causes Significance Hitler's rise to power The Weimar democratic system, established in Germany after the First World War, preceded the establishment of the single-party National Socialist state, which was effectively consolidated in 1934 when Adolf Hitler became Fiihrer of Germany. National Socialism gained the support of the military, which eliminated domestically the last major obstacle to Hitler's ambition to establish his "Thousand Year (Third) Reich". In explaining the emergence of the "Hitler state", it was common to describe the Weimar Republic "as a troubled interlude between two eras of greater andmore sinister importance: the WilhelminianKaiserreich, which saw the consolidation of a unified Germany, and the Third Reich, whichdestroyed it". Weimarwas seen as "a desperate and grudging experiment in democracy whose decisive failure had consequencesnot only for Germany but the world". Suchinterpretations are linked to a pessimisticview of German history, in which the triumph of National Socialism is accepted as an inevitable and irresistible force welcomed by most Germans.

    Thesis Engagement et identité : les militants antifascistes des organisations Freies Deutschland de l'exil à l'Ouest (Belgique, France, Suisse) à la RDA des années 1970 (1943-1975) HEINIGER, Alix Abstract Les exilés allemands en Europe de l'Ouest ont cherché à poursuivre leur engagement contre le régime qui les a poussé à fuir leur pays de diverses manières. En 1943, une partie d'entre eux ont fondé les organisations Freies Deutschland en Belgique, en France et en Suisse. Cette thèse analyse les modalités de leur engagement militant et les conditions de sa perpétuation entre la Seconde Guerre mondiale et l'après guerre en RDA. Elle pose également la question de l'identité de ces militants et de sa reconfiguration au fil du temps. La majorité d'entre eux étant communistes, ils ont suivi l'exemple de leurs dirigeants réfugiés à Moscou qui ont créé le Nationalkomitee "Freies Deutschland". A leurs débuts, ces trois organisations sont clandestines et poursuivent une lutte multiforme contre le régime nazi façonnée par les possibilités d'action offertes par leur espace d'exil. A l'approche de la fin de la guerre, les Freies Deutschland accèdent à la légalité et reconfigurent leurs activités et leurs objectifs en fonction de cette nouvelle situation. Elles tentent de rassembler les Allemands [...] Reference HEINIGER, Alix.

  • Integration of East German Resettlers Into the Cultures and Societies of the GDR
    Integration of East German Resettlers into the Cultures and Societies of the GDR Doctoral Thesis of Aaron M.P. Jacobson Student Number 59047878 University College London Degree: Ph.D. in History 1 DECLARATION I, Aaron M.P. Jacobson, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT A controversy exists in the historiography of ethnic German post-WWII refugees and expellees who lived in the German Democratic Republic. This question is namely: to what extent were these refugees and expellees from various countries with differing cultural, religious, social and economic backgrounds integrated into GDR society? Were they absorbed by the native cultures of the GDR? Was an amalgamation of both native and expellee cultures created? Or did the expellees keep themselves isolated and separate from GDR society? The historiography regarding this controversy most commonly uses Soviet and SED governmental records from 1945-53. The limitation of this approach by historians is that it has told the refugee and expellee narrative from government officials’ perspectives rather than those of the Resettlers themselves. In 1953 the SED regime stopped public record keeping concerning the Resettlers declaring their integration into GDR society as complete. After eight years in the GDR did the Resettlers feel that they were an integrated part of society? In an attempt to ascertain how Resettlers perceived their own pasts in the GDR and the level of integration that occurred, 230 refugees and expellees were interviewed throughout the former GDR between 2008-09.
