  • Nazi Party Membership in Canada: a Profile
    Nazi Party Membership in Canada: A Profile by Jonathan WAGNER* During the Depression a National Socialist movement with two rel­ atively distinct components developed within Canada's German com­ munity. A pro-Nazi society, the Deutscher Bund Canada (DBC =German Association of Canada), was established for the so-called V olksdeutsche (Germans who had been born outside the Reich). The Bund held monthly meetings for its members and staged pro-Nazi celebrations such as Hitler birthday parties; it imported and distributed Nazi propaganda materials to Germans and non-Germans alike ; it joined with other indigenous German­ Canadian organizations and clubs to organize social events and to establish German language schools. The second arm of the Canadian Nazi move­ ment was a separate Nazi party organization (NSDAP). This group was composed of non-naturalized German Canadians and Reichsdeutsche (Germans born in Germany proper) residing in Canada who had applied for and been accepted into the National Socialist Party. Although frequent contact existed between the NSDAP units and the Bund (the two groups often combined to hold public displays and to promote common causes), efforts were made to keep the memberships separate. Up to the present time little serious effort has been made to deal with the Canadian Nazi movement in general and nothing has been pub­ lished specifically describing the National Socialist Party here. 1 Part of the reason for this neglect relates to the problem of sources. Most often those Canadian historians who have dabbled in Nazism have stopped their investigations upon exhausting the limited Canadian (mostly English) sources. They have failed to look outside the country to European sources for additional information.

  • Call for the Denazification of IAU's Naming Policy
    Hans Barth, Rte Henri-Dunant 18, 1700 Fribourg, Switzerland, [email protected] Hans Fässler, Weiherweidstrasse 5, 9000 St.Gallen, Switzerland, [email protected] Sasha Huber, Eläintarhantie 18, 00530 Helsinki, Finland, [email protected] Fribourg, St.Gallen, Helsinki, 13th August, 2021 To the international press, particularly to Jewish media and newspapers Call for the Denazification of IAU's Naming Policy Dear Sir or Madam, For years we have been informing the public about one of the most important advocates of «scientific» racism, the Swiss naturalist and Harvard professor Louis Agassiz (1807-1873). He moved to the United States in 1846 and came to prominence there, as he already had done in Switzerland before. Agassiz's ideology of a racial hierarchy legitimised the slavery system of the time, and his repeated visits to slavery plantations – where he studied black people in captivity – were for many a kind of proof of the ethical harmlessness of slavery. His condemnation of «miscegenation» was later noted approvingly by Nazis, Mussolini admirers, KKK activists and creationists. 1 The Swiss Government2, «Presence Switzerland»3, the «European Geosciences Union (EGU)»4, the City and University of Neuchâtel5, the City of Lausanne6, Stanford University (USA)7, the «Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT)»8, and numerous places across the USA have all corrected their view of Agassiz after being informed of his extreme racism. Unlike the institutions mentioned above, the «International Astronomical Union (IAU)» has so far not seen any reason for withdrawing the honour offered to the racist Louis Agassiz in 1935 («Promontorium Agassiz» on the Moon), in 1973 («Agassiz Crater» on Mars) and in 1977 (Asteroid 2267, named after Louis Agassiz, his son Alexander and his grandson George Russel).

  • 1.1 Nachkriegsdeutschland
    1. DIE RESTAURATION DER INNERLICHKEIT UNMITTELBARE NACHKRIEGSZEIT UND FÜNFZIGERJAHRE 1.1 Nachkriegsdeutschland Für die Phase der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit und der Fünfzigerjahre konzentriere ich mich zunächst auf die Produktionen Nachkriegsdeutschlands. Das liegt natürlich daran, dass der Untersuchung, auch wenn die internationale Filmproduktion in den Blick genommen wird, eine deutsche Perspektive zu- grunde liegt, die nicht zu leugnen ist. Ich möchte es aber eigentlich damit be- gründen, dass Erinnerungsfilme hier eine Hochkonjunktur hatten. Das ist nach der allgemeinen Beurteilung der deutschen „Vergangenheitsbewältigung“ in dieser Zeit durchaus überraschend. Neben der Analyse der Filme unter historischen Gesichtspunkten sollen auch die theoretischen Überlegungen fortgesetzt werden. Denn es lässt sich feststellen, dass die Theorien zu Massenkultur und Erinnerung aus den 1920er- und 1930er-Jahren für diese Phase nicht mehr greifen. Trotz der zonalen Spaltung kann der deutsche Nachkriegsfilm bis zur Gründung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und der Deutschen Demo- kratischen Republik, also 1949, als Einheit begriffen werden.1 Aufschlussreich ist der Fall des Regisseurs Wolfgang Staudte, der sich, ganz unideologisch, als „gesamtdeutscher Filmemacher“ sah. Für sein Projekt DIE MÖRDER SIND UNTER UNS (1946), den ersten deutschen Nachkriegsspielfilm, bekam er überhaupt nur in der sowjetischen Zone eine Drehgenehmigung; er hatte zu- erst vergeblich die Filmoffiziere der westlichen Alliierten aufgesucht. Bei den Projekten, in denen er sich mit dem Nationalsozialismus auseinandersetzte – DIE MÖRDER SIND UNTER UNS und ROTATION (1948/49) –, nahmen die sowjetischen Kulturoffiziere allerdings sehr stark Einfluss: Bei dem ersten Film musste er den Schluss ändern, bei ROTATION (1949) wurde er gezwun- gen, Szenen wegzulassen beziehungsweise zu modifizieren, die man als eine Kritik an den Alliierten hätte auffassen können.

    AIJRA Vol. III Issue I A www.ijcms2015.co ISSN 2455-5967 The Life History of Hitler – A Review *Girdhari Lal Meena ABSTRACT Adolf Hitler (German: [adɔlf hɪtlɐ] (listen); 20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; NSDAP), Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and Führer ("Leader") of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945.[a] As dictator, Hitler initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and was central to the Holocaust. Hitler was born in Austria—then part of Austria-Hungary—and was raised near Linz. He moved to Germany in 1913 and was decorated during his service in the German Army in World War I. In 1919, he joined the German Workers' Party (DAP), the precursor of the NSDAP, and was appointed leader of the NSDAP in 1921. In 1923, he attempted to seize power in a failed coup in Munich and was imprisoned. While in jail he dictated the first volume of his autobiography and political manifesto Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"). After his release from prison in 1924, Hitler gained popular support by attacking the Treaty of Versailles and promoting Pan-Germanism, anti-semitism and anti- communism with charismatic oratory and Nazi propaganda. He frequently denounced international capitalism and communism as being part of a Jewish conspiracy. By 1933, the Nazi Party was the largest elected party in the German Reichstag, but did not have a majority, and no party was able to form a majority parliamentary coalition in support of a candidate for chancellor.

Godfrey Portland State University 2015 Abstract Processing the Holocaust and its disruption to society has emerged as a significant preoccupation, both privately and publicly, since the war ended almost seventy years ago. By taking up the topic, contemporary artists, often called the "third generation," die Enkel or die Dritten in German, argue that grappling with the past is a process that cannot yet be laid to rest. The cultural production of some of these artists is the focus of this study. Some, like German literary scholar Ernestine Schlant, have argued that past efforts to process history have been lacking.
