Prisoners of War to Partisans: Australian Experiences in Italy during the Second World War
After the Armistice of September 1943, a large proportion of Allied prisoners of war (POWs) in Italy were released from captivity. This article considers the relatively small number of those men who made their way into the Italian resistance as partisans, drawing in particular on examples of Australian POWs who were in work camps in Piedmont at the time of the Armistice. In doing so it considers not only the circumstances and motivations guiding …
German anthropology, nationalism and imperialism: Georg von Neumayer'sAnleitung zu wissenschaftlichen Beobachtungen auf Reisen
Georg von Neumayer's Anleitung zu wissenschaftlichen Beobachtungen auf Reisen (Guide to scientific observations on travels), published in three editions from 1875 to 1906, provided instructions to German travellers on the collection of scientific data, including anthropological data. This paper explores the origins of the Anleitung by looking to its editor's scientific experience in colonial Australia in the 1850s and 1860s and to his adherence t…
Colonialism, China and the Chinese: Amidst Empires
"This book explores the place of China and the Chinese during the age of imperialism. Focusing not only on the state but also on the vitality of Chinese culture and the Chinese diaspora, it examines the seeming contradictions of a period in which China came under immense pressure from imperial expansion while remaining a major political, cultural and demographic force in its own right. Where histories of China commonly highlight episodes of confl…

One Day in Israylovka: A Case Study of the Holocaust in Southeastern Ukraine
This article uses sources gathered in the course of Australian war-crimes proceedings to examine a massacre carried out in mid-1942 in the Ukrainian village of Israylovka. A distinctive feature of the events of that day was that the killing of more than a hundred members of the local Jewish population was followed immediately by the murder of Mischling (“mixed-race”) children. Focusing on the role played by the alleged war criminal Heinrich Wagne…

Erhard Eylmann's Missionary Position
The German anthropologist Erhard Eylmann relied heavily on assistance provided by missionaries when he undertook fieldwork in Australia. During two periods at the Hermannsburg mission he developed a strained relationship with Carl Strehlow. In his major work Eylmann wrote a damning critique of missionaries. While there was a level of personal animosity between Eylmann and Strehlow, at the heart of the antagonism were fundamental differences conce…
German Missionaries and Australian Anthropology
In their primary task of converting Indigenous Australians to Christianity, German missions active in various parts of Australia through the nineteenth and into the twentieth century recorded relatively few successes. On the other hand, their endeavours in observing and recording Aboriginal languages and cultures have left a rich – and yet frequently overlooked – anthropological legacy. A common element in that legacy is their work in the area of…

POW ‘Holiday Camps’ in the Third Reich
Among the vast network of POW camps established in Germany during the Second World War were two quite extraordinary camps known as holiday camps, Ferienlager. One of them was for Other Ranks and was located in Genshagen just outside Berlin; the other, for officers, was in Steinburg in Bavaria. This article investigates the origins and development of these camps, which offered their prisoners short-term respite from the rigours of life in work det…

Globalising German Anthropology: Erhard Eylmann in Australia
The German presence in nineteenth-century South Australia is associated primarily with the immigration of Prussian Lutherans escaping religious persecution in their homeland. Their settlement in the fledgling British colony aided its early, stuttering development; in the longer term it also fitted neatly South Australia's perception of itself as a “paradise of dissent.” These Germans took their religion seriously, none more so than the Lutheran m…

Australian POW in German Captivity in the Second World War
When history has taken an interest in the Australian POW experience in the Second World War, the focus has been largely on those in Japanese captivity, where suffering was immense and mortality rates high. Popular culture has reinforced the perception that those who fell into German hands had it easy, living fairly comfortable existences punctuated with adventurous episodes, typically in the form of escape attempts. This essay seeks to correct th…
The German Democratic Republic and Australia
This article covers the development of relations between the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and Australia through the full course of the GDR's existence, but with an emphasis on events leading to mutual diplomatic recognition in December 1972. It argues that as minor powers within their respective Cold War blocs the GDR and Australia had very limited room for manoeuvre, yet within those limitations both sides adopted a good deal of pragmatism i…
A Day to Remember: East Germany's Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Fascism
This article examines the initiation and development of the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Fascism (Gedenktag fur die Opfer des Faschismus) in the Soviet Zone of Occupation and then the GDR. In doing so it is interested in the way in which the annual event, held on the second Sunday of September, was politicized, especially during the onset of the Cold War, which meant that it became a regular feature of official memory in the GDR but was …
The Mischling Experience in Oral History
This paper examines the usefulness of oral history in dealing with the fate of the so-called Mischlinge in Nazi Germany; that is, people categorized by the authorities as being of “mixed race.” It argues that oral history provides an invaluable supplement to the written, official record. The latter is by its nature a view “from above” and from the perpetrators; it generally excludes the perspective of the victims of Nazi racial policy. Moreover, …

Buchenwald Revisited: Rewriting the History of a Concentration Camp
the foundation mythology of the German Democratic Republic, the Buchenwald concentration camp played a central role. It was not merely a site whose history was testimony to the barbarism with which the Nazi regime treated its enemies; it was also a birthplace of anti-Fascism, born of the solidarity of the suffering, one which transcended national and even class boundaries. In short, it was a brand of anti-Fascism which the East German state was p…
