W. GodaSince the end of World War II, the ongoing efforts aimed at criminal prosecution, restitution, and other forms of justice in the wake of the Holocaust have constituted one of the most significant episodes in the history of human rights and international law. As such, they have attracted sustained attention from historians and legal scholars. This edited collection substantially enlarges the topical and disciplinary scope of this burgeoning field, exploring such varied subjects as literary analysis of Hannah Arendt\u2019s work, the restitution case for Gustav Klimt\u2019s Beethoven Frieze, and the ritualistic aspects of criminal trials.<\/p>\n<p>Read <a href=\"http:\/\/berghahnbooks.com\/downloads\/intros\/GodaRethinking_intro.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/covers\/JaschParticipants.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"210\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/berghahnbooks.com\/title\/JaschParticipants\">THE PARTICIPANTS<\/a><br \/>\nThe Men of the Wannsee Conference<br \/>\nEdited by Hans-Christian Jasch and Christoph Kreutzm\u00fcller<br \/>\nTranslated from the German by Charlotte Kreutzm\u00fcller-Hughes and Jane Paulick<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On 20 January 1942, fifteen senior German government officials attended a short meeting in Berlin to discuss the deportation and murder of the Jews of Nazi-occupied Europe. Despite lasting less than two hours, the Wannsee Conference is today understood as a signal episode in the history of the Holocaust, exemplifying the labor division and bureaucratization that made the \u201cFinal Solution\u201d possible. Yet while the conference itself has been exhaustively researched, many of its attendees remain relatively obscure.

By focusing on Arab and Turkish reactions to German anti-Semitism and the persecution and mass-murder of European Jews during this period, this expansive collection surveys the institutional and popular reception of Nazism in the Middle East and North Africa.

How much did \u201cordinary\u201d Germans know about the subjugation and mass murder of the Jews, when did they know it, and how did they respond collectively and as individuals? This compact volume brings together six historical investigations into the subject from leading scholars employing newly accessible and previously underexploited evidence.

This book examines the Holocaust via three sites of murder by the Nazis: the former concentration camp at Buchenwald, Germany; the mass grave at Babi Yar, Ukraine; and the razed village of Lidice, Czech Republic. Bringing together recent scholarship from cultural memory and cultural geography, the author focuses on the way these violent histories are remembered, allowing these sites to emerge as dynamic transcultural landscapes of encounter in which difficult pasts can be represented and comprehended in the present. This leads to an examination of the role of the environment, or, more particularly, the ways in which the natural environment, co-opted in the process of killing, becomes a medium for remembrance.<\/p>\n<p>Read\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/downloads\/intros\/RapsonTopographies_intro.pdf\">Introduction<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/covers\/HildebrandtAnatomy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"221\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/title\/HildebrandtAnatomy\">THE ANATOMY OF MURDER<\/a><br \/>\nEthical Transgressions and Anatomical Science during the Third Reich<br \/>\nSabine Hildebrandt<br \/>\nForeword by William E. Seidelman<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWith this book Sabine Hildebrandt submits an important piece of work to the public, a work that is always absorbing, and needs to be taken very, very seriously. It truly presents a milestone in the research and reappraisal of one of the darkest chapters in the history of medicine. On the basis of thorough new research and a meticulous collection of existing data, it analyzes concisely, objectively, and consistently the position and development of the medical discipline of anatomy during the Third Reich\u2026It would be more than appropriate to include this important book as a standard text in the medical curriculum on the history of medicine. Also, this work can be recommended warmly and without reservations to the general public.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 <strong>Annals of Anatomy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of the many medical specializations to transform themselves during the rise of National Socialism, anatomy has received relatively little attention from historians. While politics and racial laws drove many anatomists from the profession, most who remained joined the Nazi party, and some helped to develop the scientific basis for its racialist dogma. As historian and anatomist Sabine Hildebrandt reveals, however, their complicity with the Nazi state went beyond the merely ideological. They progressed through gradual stages of ethical transgression, turning increasingly to victims of the regime for body procurement, as the traditional model of working with bodies of the deceased gave way, in some cases, to a new paradigm of experimentation with the \u201cfuture dead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/downloads\/intros\/HildebrandtAnatomy_intro.pdf\">Introduction<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/covers\/KreutzmuellerFinal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"212\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/berghahnbooks.com\/title\/KreutzmuellerFinal\">FINAL SALE IN BERLIN<\/a><br \/>\nThe Destruction of Jewish Commercial Activity, 1930-1945<br \/>\nChristoph Kreutzm\u00fcller<br \/>\nTranslated from the German by Jane Paulick and Jefferson Chase<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cKreutzm\u00fcller&#8217;s well written study deals with resistance offered by Berlin&#8217;s Jews in the face of Hitler&#8217;s legal machinery to destroy their economic selfreliance. The exhaustive research&#8230; abundant examples and case studies complement the data, making the book useful for both research and teaching.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 <strong>Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before the Nazis took power, Jewish businesspeople in Berlin thrived alongside their non-Jewish neighbors. But Nazi racism changed that, gradually destroying Jewish businesses before murdering the Jews themselves. Reconstructing the fate of more than 8,000 companies, this book offers the first comprehensive analysis of Jewish economic activity and its obliteration. Rather than just examining the steps taken by the persecutors, it also tells the stories of Jewish strategies in countering the effects of persecution. In doing so, this book exposes a fascinating paradox where Berlin, serving as the administrative heart of the Third Reich, was also the site of a dense network for Jewish self-help and assertion.<\/p>\n<p>Read <a href=\"http:\/\/berghahnbooks.com\/downloads\/intros\/KreutzmuellerFinal_intro.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/covers\/ChareMatters.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"210\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/berghahnbooks.com\/title\/ChareMatters\">MATTERS OF TESTIMONY<\/a><br \/>\nInterpreting the Scrolls of Auschwitz<br \/>\nNicholas Chare and Dominic Williams<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cChare and Williams have applied a multidisciplinary approach using methods drawn from history, literature, art, psychology, photography, and the study of material culture to analyze these documents, which are often referred to as the Scrolls of Auschwitz, an allusion to the Dead Sea Scrolls.

In the vastness of its implementation and the sheer amount of death and suffering it produced, the genocide of Europe\u2019s Jews presents special challenges for historians, who have responded with work ranging in scope from the world-historical to the intimate. In particular, recent scholarship has demonstrated a willingness to study the Holocaust at scales as focused as a single neighborhood, family, or perpetrator. This volume brings together an international cast of scholars to reflect on the ongoing microhistorical turn in Holocaust studies, assessing its historiographical pitfalls as well as the distinctive opportunities it affords researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Read\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/downloads\/intros\/ZalcMicrohistories_intro.pdf\"><strong>Introduction:<\/strong> Towards a Microhistory of the Holocaust<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/covers\/AkcamSpirit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"211\" \/><\/em>Volume 21 <em>In Paperback<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/berghahnbooks.com\/title\/AkcamSpirit\">THE SPIRIT OF THE LAWS<\/a><br \/>\nThe Plunder of Wealth in the Armenian Genocide<br \/>\nTaner Ak\u00e7am and Umit Kurt<br \/>\nTranslated by Aram Arkun<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis book is a valuable addition to filling the gaps of our understanding of genocide and helps readers navigate complex terrain in the case study presented\u2026 I recommend this book as a case study to be included in graduate level courses.

The contributors to this volume analyze the evolving anti-Jewish policies in the annexed territories and their impact on the Jewish population, as well as the attitudes and actions of non-Jews, Germans, and indigenous populations. They demonstrate that diverse anti-Jewish policies developed in the different territories, which in turn affected practices in other regions and even influenced Berlin\u2019s decisions. Having these systematic studies together in one volume enables a comparison &#8211; based on the most recent research &#8211; between anti-Jewish policies in the areas annexed by the Nazi state. The results of this prizewinning book call into question the common assumption that one central plan for persecution extended across Nazi-occupied Europe, shifting the focus onto differing regional German initiatives and illuminating the cooperation of indigenous institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Read\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/downloads\/intros\/GrunerGreater_intro.pdf\">Introduction<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For a full list of titles in the series please visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/berghahnbooks.com\/series\/war-and-genocide\">series webpage<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>Berghahn Jounals<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/berghahnbooks.com\/covers\/jnls\/jnl_cover_gps.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"187\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/journals.berghahnbooks.com\/gps\/\">German Politics and Society<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>German Politics and Society<\/em> is the only American publication that explores issues in modern Germany from the combined perspectives of the social sciences, history, and cultural studies.
