The Last Peasant War
In the Midst of Civilized Europe
On Behalf of the Undergraduates
István Deák was a gifted teacher of undergraduates as well as graduate students. In this essay, two Columbia College alumni who were inspired to become historians because they took classes with István as undergraduates remember his inspiring presence in the classroom
The Spectre of War
A Specter Haunting Europe
Today, fantasies of Jewish conspiracy cast Jews as cosmopolitan agents of globalisation and as enemies of national values. But conspiratorial antisemitism has taken many different forms. In the twentieth century, none was more potent or more destructive than the myth of Judeo-Bolshevism – the paranoid fear that Jews incited and directed Communist revolutions in order to advance their own interests. This text will discuss the history of the Judeo-…

A Specter Haunting Europe
In the 20th century, Europe was haunted by a specter of its own imagining: Judeo-Bolshevism. Fear of a Jewish Bolshevik plot to destroy the nations of Europe took hold during the Russian Revolution and spread across the continent. Paul Hanebrink shows that the myth of ethno-religious threat is still alive today, in Westerners' fear of Muslims
The Holocaust in Hungary
Randolph L. Braham, the authority on the Holocaust in Hungary, spoke out forcefully against the historical revisionism of the Fidesz government in Hungary. Historians and publicists close to that leadership equate the occupation of Hungary by its World War II German ally with its occupation by the Red Army and subsequent decades of Soviet domination. Implying that the Hungarian people suffered at the hands of the Germans just as did the Jews, the…
In Defense of Christian Hungary
An Anti-totalitarian Saint
This essay explores the intellectual origins of Edith Stein's canonization. In the years of the early Cold War, when Christians on both sides of the Atlantic proclaimed "Judeo-Christian civilization" to be the greatest bulwark against totalitarianism in both its Nazi and Soviet guises, Stein became a powerful anti-totalitarian symbol. During the 1980s, a new Pope, John Paul II, revived the memory of Stein and linked it to his own rich understandi…
European Protestants Between Anti-Communism and Anti-Totalitarianism
In the late 1930s, Protestants across Europe debated how best to resist the threat of encroaching secularism and radical secular politics. Some insisted that communism remained the greatest threat to Europe’s Christian civilization, while others used new theories of totalitarianism to imagine Nazism and communism as different but equal menaces. This article explores debates about Protestantism, secularism, and communism in three locations – Hunga…
Wien und die judische Erfahrung, 1900-1938
How can scholars capture the relationship between the history of Vienna’s Jews and the life of the city? The art historian Hans Tietze asked this question in his book, The Jews of Vienna (1933), and historians Frank Stern and Barbara Eichinger adopt the same agenda as the epigraph to this monumental edited volume, Vienna and the Jewish Experience, 1900–1938. For many years, scholars have shown the central role that the city’s Jewish bourgeoisie p…
Julie THORPE. Pan-Germanism and the Austrofascist State, 1933-38
Austrofascism has long been a puzzle. Between 1933 and 1938, a one-party “Fatherland Front” modeled on Italian fascism ruled Austria. The Socialist Party, for decades the main opposition party, was banned and many of its leaders imprisoned, forced into exile, or reduced to silence. At the same time, many Austrians were enthusiastic about the Nazi regime to the north: the Anschluss, symbolized by the image of jubilant Austrians cheering Adolf Hitl…
In Defense of Christian Hungary
In this important historical account of the role that religion played in defining the political life of a modern national society, Paul A. Hanebrink shows how Hungarian nationalists redefined Hungary-a liberal society in the nineteenth century-as a narrowly "Christian" nation in the aftermath of World War I. Drawing on impressive archival research, Hanebrink uncovers how political and religious leaders demanded that "Christian values" influence p…
