The Anatomy of Murder
Ethical Transgressions and Anatomical Science during the Third Reich
Hildebrandt, S.
Of the many medical specializations to have been transformed by the rise of National Socialism, anatomy has received little attention. As historian and physician Sabine Hildebrandt reveals, anatomists progressed through gradual stages of ethical transgression; in some cases, the traditional model of working with deceased bodies gave way to experimentation with the “future dead.”

Do Not Forget Me
Three Jewish Mothers Write to Their Sons from the Thessaloniki Ghetto
Saltiel, L. (ed)
Following the Axis invasion of Greece, the Nazis began persecuting the country’s Jews as they had across occupied Europe, beginning with small indignities and culminating in mass imprisonment and deportations. Among the many Jews confined to the Thessaloniki ghetto during this period were Sarina Saltiel, Mathilde Barouh, and Neama Cazes—three women bound for Auschwitz who spent the weeks before their deportation writing to their sons.

The Enemy on Display
The Second World War in Eastern European Museums
Bogumił, Z., Wawrzyniak, J., Buchen, T., Ganzer, C. & Senina, M.
Eastern European museums represent the traumatic events of World War II, such as the Siege of Leningrad, the Warsaw Uprisings, and the bombardment of Dresden, in ways that cast the enemy in a specific light. This image results from the interweaving of historical representations, cultural stereotypes and beliefs, political discourses, and the dynamics of exhibition narratives. This book presents a useful methodology for examining museum images and provides a critical analysis of the role historical museums play in the contemporary world. As the catastrophes of World War II still exert an enormous influence over the national identities of Russians, Poles, and Germans, museum exhibits can play an important role in this process.

Examining the unexplored project for a new European order developed by Italian intellectuals, Fascist Europe reconstructs the theoretical debates that shaped relationships between Fascist Italy, the Nazi Reich, and other Axis nations. In doing so it sheds light on how much the order may have prospectively united or divided the Fascist regime and the Nazi Reich in the post-war order.

“[The author] keeps the focus on the individual without ever losing sight of the overall crime. This book…can be considered as an essential contribution to the history of the extermination of the German Jews.” · Bulletin of the Fritz Bauer Institute, Frankfurt
“Beate Meyer succeeds in producing a nearly complete picture of procedures and decisions within the organization. In addition she describes openly but not without empathy the diverse, often narrow perspectives and possibilities of responsible individuals in their respective situation.” · Sehepunkte

This in-depth study reveals that military indoctrination was but one piece of the larger effort at the socialization of young men during the Nazi era.
