British scholar Nancy Browne noted the similarities between the ending of Fatherland and that of Ernest Hemingway 's For Whom the Bell Tolls : "Both novels end with the protagonist about to embark on a single-handed armed confrontation with a large number of Fascists or Nazis, of whose outcome there can be no doubt - but the reader does not witness the moment of his presumed death.

The story is set in 1943 when much of Nazi Enigma Code has already been cracked. However, Shark, the impenetrable cipher used to hide the movements of the U-boats, the German submarines, to the Allies, is still a mystery. A top secret team of British cryptographers led by the brilliant mathematician Tom Jericho has the task of deciphering it. They succeed in breaking the code, but unfortunately the Germans change it. As an Allied convoy crosses the North Atlantic Ocean full of U-boats, Jericho has to solve three mysteries with the help of his girlfriend’s roommate who is on the convoy: the code, whether his girlfriend Claire is a spy and if she has been murdered.

  • Confronting the Holocaust in Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther Novels
    ATLANTIS Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies 38.1 (June 2016): 89-107 issn 0210-6124 “But What’s One More Murder?” Confronting the Holocaust in Philip Kerr’s Bernie Gunther Novels Anthony Lake Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates [email protected] Philip Kerr’s Bernie Gunther series of Nazi Germany-set historical crime novels use irony in the exploration of themes of complicity, guilt and redemption in relation to the Holocaust. The use of irony enables Kerr’s protagonist Bernie Gunther to confront and describe the Holocaust and establish his sense of selfhood as an anti-Nazi. However, it does not empower him to resist the Nazis actively. Bernie seeks to confront the Holocaust and describe his experiences as an unwilling Holocaust perpetrator when he led an SS police battalion at Minsk in 1941. Later, his feelings of guilt at his complicity with the Nazis in the Holocaust haunt him, and he seeks redemption by pursuing justice to solve conventional murders. The redemption that Bernie Gunther pursues is called into question in the ninth novel in the series, A Man Without Breath (2013), when the possibility of active resistance to the Nazis is revealed to him when he witnesses the Rosenstrasse Protests in Berlin in 1943. This revelation raises the questions of agency and choice, and forces an ordinary German like Bernie Gunther to confront the possibility that he might have actively opposed the Nazis, rather than allow himself to become their accomplice. Keywords: detective fiction; Holocaust; Philip Kerr; irony; guilt; redemption . “¿Qué supone un asesinato más?” Afrontando el Holocausto en las novelas de Philip Kerr sobre Bernie Gunther En las novelas policiacas de Philip Kerr sobre Bernie Gunther, ambientadas en la Alemania Nazi, el autor recurre con frecuencia a la ironía para explorar temas como la complicidad, la culpa o la redención en relación con el Holocausto.

The Enemy Within: Homosexuality in the Third Reich, 1933-1945 Abstract From 1933 to 1945, the Nazi regime in Germany ruthlessly targeted homosexuals, particularly men, as enemies of the state. While Nazi doctrine officiallyepudiated r same-sex romance, actual policy toward homosexuals in the Third Reich was by no means consistent. This paper examines the components of Nazi racial doctrines and the subtle ways in which the hyper-masculine ethos of the regime in fact encouraged male bonding and homosexual behavior.

    Lenka Bustikova and Petra Guasti Hate Thy Imaginary Neighbor An Analysis of Antisemitism in Slo- vakia Proceedings / International conference “Antisemitism in Europe Today: the Phenomena, the Conflicts” 8–9 November 2013 Organized by the Jewish Museum Berlin, the Foundation “Remembrance, Responsibility and Future” and the Center for Research on Antisemitism Berlin Lenka Bustikova, Petra Guasti Hate Thy Imaginary Neighbor: An Analysis of Antisemitism in Slovakia 1 Hate Thy Imaginary Neighbor: An Analysis of Antisemitism in Slovakia Lenka Bustikova* and Petra Guasti Although antisemitism has a long history in Eastern Europe, there are still few systematic studies examining the extent of antisemitism since the end of com- munism, how it compares to other social cleavages, and how it varies by political parties. This article offers an analysis of subnational variation in antisemitism within Slovakia. Utilizing survey data from 1990 to 2008, we characterize three types of variation in anti-Jewish attitudes: (a) macro-level temporal trends, (2) meso-level regional variation, and (3) micro-level variation among political sub- groups. Our results point to three main findings: First, antisemitism has declined significantly in Slovakia since the early 1990s, which highlights the shifting im- portance of identity cleavages and the consolidation of a Hungarian-Slovak divide. Second, unlike Hungary, the lowest level of antisemitism is expressed among those living in the capital city. Third, the voting patterns of antisemitic respondents are diffuse, and include supporters of the Slovak National Party, the Christian Demo- cratic Movement, and Mečiar’s nationalistic-populist Movement for Democratic Slovakia. Despite the recent focus on the Jewish origins of one Slovak politician, our findings point to the relatively peripheral nature of the Jewish question in Slovakia’s politics, especially when compared to the more prominent Hungarian language issue and to the Roma question.

The executions and life sentences of representatives of the German military and political elite were carried out by the Allied powers. At the time, the Soviet Union posed a greater threat than the Germans tried at Nuremberg. Years later, on October 9th, 1950, former officers of the German military gathered in Himmerod Abbey. Together they wrote the Himmerod Memorandum, which laid the foundation of the German rearmament and called for the release of German soldiers (Wehrmacht) and Schutzstaffel (SS) members convicted of war crimes.
