The German Right, 1918–1930

Hitler’s True Believers
Over the past three decades, historians have become increasingly preoccupied with the subjectivities of ordinary Germans under the National Socialist dictatorship. These had previously been marginal to a historical literature focused much more on the interplay between state and party institutions in Nazi policy formation. This structural, ‘functionalist’ approach began to crumble in the 1980s with the arrival of Alltagsgeschichte (the history of …
Microhistories of the Holocaust
This volume, which brings together seventeen Holocaust scholars at different stages of their careers, is the product of a large conference held in Paris in 2012. Edited by two specialists on the microhistory of the Holocaust in France, the contributions demonstrate the potential for local histories to add detail to our apprehension of the Nazi genocide and to fine-tune existing interpretations at the macrohistorical level. Every single article is…
Concentration camps
‘In the future, I believe, when the word concentration camp is used, one will think of Hitler's Germany, and only Hitler's Germany’. Writing in autumn 1933, even so perceptive a diarist as Victor Klemperer could scarcely have imagined where the nascent Nazi camp system would lead. But he was proved largely correct. The images of starving inmates at the camps' liberation, peering uncomprehending through barbed wire amid other-worldly scenes of suf…
Commentary
In their 1991 monograph on Nazi Germany, The Racial State , Michael Burleigh and Wolfgang Wippermann asked why it was “acceptable to use anthropological categories in the case of youth or women, and apparently unacceptable to employ them in the case of men?” The expansive historiography of Nazism, they complained, offered nothing “beyond an isolated venture into the realm of male fantasies, or a few studies of homosexuals.” The answer, in fact, h…

Tolerance means weakness’
Dachau concentration camp served throughout the pre-war period of the Third Reich as the national ‘school of violence’ for S.S. concentration camp personnel. Yet, typically of the pre-war Nazi camps, its history has been written by former prisoners rather than historians and offers little analysis of the S.S. personnel. This article focuses on these personnel by considering the contribution of the entangled concepts of militarism and masculinity …
We’ll Meet Again in Dachau’
Dachau was the most enduring and important of the early nazi concentration camps. Its initial personnel, trained in the Dachau ‘school of violence’, were soon widely distributed throughout the SS camp network but have received very little historiographical attention. This article sets the camp and the early Dachau SS in their Bavarian context and explores how the memory of civil war in Munich in 1919 was at the fore in 1933: the camp’s location w…
