No Past Tense
Drawing on over one hundred hours of oral history interviews with Kati and Willi Salcer, D. Z. Stone has crafted a compelling biography of two Holocaust survivors, covering their lives from World War II and the founding of the State of Israel to the turbulent Vietnam War era in the United States. The biography tells the separate yet intertwined life stories of two Czech teenagers who met briefly in a ghetto and then reconnected after the war. It …
E lisabeth G allas . A Mortuary of Books
In this well-researched and impressive book, Elisabeth Gallas demonstrates the significance of a little-known effort to rescue Nazi-looted books, documents, and cultural objects for understanding postwar struggles to reconstruct Jewish cultural life. She adds to the literature by challenging the myths of silence and passivity in Jewish communities outside of Europe. She persuasively demonstrates the active political engagement of leading Jewish f…
All Under One Roof
In postwar Germany, Allied personnel and displaced populations competed with local Germans for housing. Examining group interactions and conflicting interests in this competition sheds light on issues of responsibility and reconciliation in the occupied country. In the East, Germans quickly grasped the key political interests of the Soviet occupiers: inhospitable landlords were denounced as “Nazis,” and many East Germans rewrote their pasts to cl…
Yuliya Komska. The Icon Curtain
Recent Cold War scholarship has examined the roles of everyday West Germans in shaping the Iron Curtain in locations beyond the Berlin Wall. In doing so, this scholarship (such as works by Edith Sheffer, Andrew Demshuk, Sagi Schaefer, and Astrid M. Eckert) has identified the late 1940s and the 1950s as a pivotal period. In this vein, Yuliya Komska’s The Icon Curtain: The Cold War’s Quiet Border focuses on the role of Sudeten Germans expelled from…
Crimes Unspoken
State Symbols. The Quest for Legitimacy in the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, 1949-1959
The past decade has witnessed a trend in the historiography of postwar Germany toward examining the East and West as two halves of a whole, and treating the GDR and the FRG not as states that happen to lie next to each other, but rather as inextricably related entities that cannot be understood without reference to both.In this view, their history as separate states should not be seen as parallel lines, but rather as a double helix, folding over …
State Symbols
After World War II Germans not only had to rebuild, they had to redefine their national political identity as well. This book traces how state symbols such as national colors, anthems, holidays, capital cities, and postage stamps were used to legitimize the two Germanies from 1949 to 1959. Although the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic (GDR) developed distinct post-war identities, the one cannot be understood apart fr…
Deutschland über alles
Languages evolve, and through the negotiations of public discourse, particular phrases acquire connotations and meanings beyond their grammatical structure. Occasionally, the meanings become contested and the resultant debate can be politically charged. The struggle to define language is fundamentally a struggle for power. This explains the current concerns of the French government to protect the French language from anglicisms. In recent years, …
