Photography in the Third Reich C Art, Physiognomy and Propaganda HRISTOPHER EDITED by CHRISTOPHER WEBSTER
Photography in the Third Reich C Art, Physiognomy and Propaganda HRISTOPHER EDITED BY CHRISTOPHER WEBSTER This lucid and comprehensive collec� on of essays by an interna� onal group of scholars cons� tutes a photo-historical survey of select photographers who W embraced Na� onal Socialism during the Third Reich. These photographers EBSTER developed and implemented physiognomic and ethnographic photography, and, through a Selbstgleichschaltung (a self-co-ordina� on with the regime), con� nued ( to prac� ce as photographers throughout the twelve years of the Third Reich. ED .) The volume explores, through photographic reproduc� ons and accompanying analysis, diverse aspects of photography during the Third Reich, ranging from the infl uence of Modernism, the qualita� ve eff ect of propaganda photography, and the u� lisa� on of technology such as colour fi lm, to the photograph as ideological metaphor. With an emphasis on the idealised representa� on of the German body and the role of physiognomy within this representa� on, the book examines how select photographers created and developed a visual myth of the ‘master race’ and its an� theses under the auspices of the Na� onalist Socialist state. P HOTOGRAPHY Photography in the Third Reich approaches its historical source photographs as material culture, examining their produc� on, construc� on and prolifera� on. This detailed and informa� ve text will be a valuable resource not only to historians studying the Third Reich, but to scholars and students of fi lm, history of art, poli� cs, media studies, cultural studies and holocaust studies. IN THE As with all Open Book publica� ons, this en� re book is available to read for free on the publisher’s website.

Seduction, Delusion, & Politics
Seduction, Delusion, & Politics: Culture within the Nazi Control System A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with distinction in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University By Andrew R Scott The Ohio State University December 2010 Project Advisors: Professor John Davidson, Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures Professor Alan Beyerchen, Department of History “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.” -Edmund Burke Contents Foreword……………………………………………………….1 Introduction…………………………………………………...2 Germany & the Populace………………………………….16 Hitler & Himmler……………………………………………….29 Hitler‟s Agents…………………………………………………36 Conclusion…………………………………………………….45 Appendixes……………………………………………………49 Bibliography…………………………………………………..52 1 Foreword The central themes of this theoretical work draw heavily on the social- psychological and historical interpretations produced by Philip Zimbardo and Christopher Browning, respectively. Though this is a case-study of the control system which would ultimately be implemented by the Nazis during their reign of control in Germany from 1933 to 1945, it is important to understand that the ideas put forth here are not intended to insinuate that manipulations of culture have been confined to a single epoch, rather they occur and have occurred throughout time. The contention here is that the immediate history of the German state, the pre-existing fodder for in- group and out-group distinctions, and the authoritative political and social structures combined with the ideological rhetoric and material tactics of the National Socialists to facilitate participation in atrocities by zealots and ordinary citizens alike. The work includes an introduction which shall serve to define the terms that will be discussed throughout, three middle sections titled “Germany and the Populace,” “Hitler and Himmler,” and “Hitler‟s Agents,” and a conclusion to summarize the main ideas.

Kant's a Priori Philosophy and His Racism
1 Kant’s a priori Philosophy and his Racism I Introduction Kant’s philosophy centrally focusses on trying to give an a priori account of conditions of the possibility of various human phenomena, including metaphysics, empirical knowledge, there being moral reasons and the nature of just political power. His a priori conditions are presented as if they are meant to be humanly universal – to apply equally to all humans. He thinks, for example, that, for humans, perceiving distinct particulars requires a priori representations of space and time; that, for humans, the possibility of empirical knowledge depends on the application of a priori concepts of substance and cause; that our reason unavoidably seeks for further explanations of any contingent phenomena we encounter; that for all humans, what counts as a valid reason for acting is constrained by the condition of respecting the humanity of each other human; and that we are morally required to create a state which has powers to coercively enforce the conditions that enable the equal political freedom of each. Despite these supposedly universal features of his a priori moral theory, Kant has racist and sexist views that seem incompatible with regarding all human beings as moral equals. Further, while his attitudes seem to have improved over time in his published works, and while his racist and sexist views mostly do not feature centrally in his most a priori works, they do continue to appear throughout his life, and certainly contemporaneously with his supposedly universal a priori theories. This leaves us with questions about how to make sense of his views and about how Kant himself understood his theories – did he intend the categorical imperative, for example, to apply only to white men? Perhaps independent of how Kant himself understood his claims there is the question of whether the theories themselves can be extricated from his racism and sexism.

Historicizing German Depictions of Poles, 1919-1934 THESIS
Das Deutsche Polenbild: Historicizing German Depictions of Poles, 1919-1934 THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul N Niebrzydowski Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Master's Examination Committee: Alan Beyerchen, Advisor James Bartholomew Christopher Otter Copyright by Paul N Niebrzydowski 2012 Abstract After the armistice that marked the end of the Great War, the continuing conflict on Germany’s eastern border contributed to the weakened German self-image. Poles, newly confident and militaristic after having witnessed the rebirth of their nation, stood as a perceived, and oftentimes real, threat to the German state and identity. The present work explores how the experience of conflict between Germans and Poles on Germany’s eastern border contributed to a change in inflection of German stereotypes of Poles. Though still bearing the mark of 19 th century stereotypes, which cast the Poles as backward and fit to be colonized, interwar propaganda added an image of Poles as an aggressive and militaristic threat to the German identity. The uprising in Posen and the administration of the Upper Silesian plebiscite stood out in Germans' minds as examples of Germany's weakening sovereignty, not only in the face of its neighbor, but also at the hands of the Allies. When the Nazis came to power, they employed a renewed rhetoric of colonization of the east. Whereas Germany's colonies had been lost after the Great War, the Third Reich hoped to once again colonize the east.

Holocaust Remembrance and Representation Documentation from a Research Conference
Holocaust Remembrance and Representation Documentation from a Research Conference Research anthology of the Inquiry on a Museum about the Holocaust Stockholm 2020 Swedish Government Official Reports SOU 2020:21 Layout: Committee Service Unit, Government Offices of Sweden Cover: Elanders Sverige AB Printed by: Elanders Sverige AB, Stockholm 2020 ISBN 978-91-38-25044-0 ISSN 0375-250X Preface This anthology is the documentation from the international research conference on Holocaust remembrance and representation held in Stockholm in February 12–13 2020 arranged by the Inquiry on a Museum about the Holocaust (Ku 2019:01). It contains the keynotes and papers presented at the conference as well as summaries of the panel discussions. The conference was an important input for the inquiry in putting together its report. The mission of the inquiry was to propose how a museum to pre- serve the memory of the Holocaust in Sweden should be established. The terms of reference for the inquiry points out that stories from survivors with a connection to Sweden should be of central impor- tance. The museum should also be able to describe the Holocaust in a broad historical context as well as Sweden’s role during the Second World War. The museum should have a strong foundation in current research on the Second World War and the Holocaust, and establish international networks, both within research and with other museums focused on the Holocaust. One important part of the task was to gather knowledge and infor- mation from scholars, museums, government authorities, civil society and other organizations currently working on issues relating to the Holocaust, in Sweden.
