We could go back well over a hundred years to the Methodenstreit over Karl Lamprecht's efforts to write multidisciplinary history, follow the line through the work of Eckart Kehr, Fritz Fischer, Hans Ulrich Wehler, and the Sonderweg debate, and continue on through the Historikerstreit and the Historiker…

Lives Reclaimed: A Story of Rescue and Resistance in Nazi Germany continues Mark Roseman’s leading contributions to the history of rescue in Nazi dominated Europe. Recounting stories of rescue bears witness to the stories of goodness and nobility side by side with human criminality and evil, suggesting hope that they might inspire further acts of civil, humanitarian courage. Rescue is a critical field, as Sholem Asch wrote: “Let the epic of heroi…

Memory and Representations of Fascism in Germany and Italy
Following the Second World War, countries around Europe crafted narratives claiming that they had virtuously resisted fascism. Italy, France, and Austria, as well as Germany, had to establish new political systems repudiating fascism, yet building on societies that had collaborated with or supported Nazi–fascist rule. The course of this drastic transformation of individual and social perspectives produced a mix of selective forgetting and remembe…

Historical Evidence and Plausible History
Most historians who address it agree that the street protest by non-Jews for their Jewish family members constitutes the most plausible explanation for the Gestapo's release of intermarried Jews incarcerated at Berlin's Rosenstrasse. Had the women not protested, the Jews (or the overwhelming majority) most likely would have been deported to either death or labor camps. This view holds that regime leaders released the Jews for tactical reasons, no…
