The Price of Isolation: Fascism, Vichy and the Holocaust in French History
The historiographical debate about France during the Second World War has long been dominated by two foreign historians. On the one hand, the Israeli intellectual Zeev Sternhell notoriously placed the origin of fascism in France's Belle Epoque and saw Vichy France as the paradigmatic example of a fascist regime in his book, Neither Right nor Left , four decades ago. Year after year, Sternhell, who had studied in Paris, made criticisms of the Pari…

In the Shadow of the Golden Calf: Im Schatten des Goldenen Kalbes
The article offers the first comprehensive account of relations between Germany and Switzerland in the years 1919 to 1931 based on archival sources from both countries.
