Aufsätze / Articles. Vernichtungskrieg und Imperialer Nationalstaat
Ukraine is witness to an unusual kind of war, a Vernichtungskrieg, a war of wanton destruction. In the modern age there are few wars of this type, the most infamous being the aggression of Nazi Germany. The scale of destruction is now very different from then, but I ask whether we can nevertheless learn about the forces driving these two events by looking at one similarity: a deep historical tradition in both places that aims to create empire as …

Dan Stone. Goodbye to All That? The Story of Europe since 1945
It should be easy to write a history of the tiny half-continent of Europe as our globe shrinks and the “national” becomes subsumed by the “transnational.” Dan Stone's absorbing and provocative work shows that writing this history remains vexingly difficult. Europe was at the heart of the Cold War, and that makes its postwar story much more than European. The single city Berlin reproduced the bipolar world in miniature, with welfare capitalism in …

Catholic Racism and Its Opponents
Resisting the Third Reich
This absorbing and well-researched book presents the story of Berlin's Catholic Church during the Nazi era from the perspective of a deeply committed believer. Professor Kevin Spicer is also Father Kevin Spicer. As such, it offers critics a chance to test their arguments against a serious voice from within the Church. But it also affords more neutral observers a chance to ponder the assumptions behind debates on the churches in the Third Reich, i…

Why the Poles Collaborated So Little-And Why That Is No Reason for Nationalist Hubris
Three historians comment on the articles. John Connelly considers the moral and historiographical meanings of "collaboration" and "collaborationism" and suggests that even those cases that Friedrich documents do not make Poland into a collaborationist country. In fact, the Nazis were disappointed that Poles refused to collaborate. Connelly emphasizes the complicated choices and intentions among the Polish population and calls for bringing togethe…

Nazis and Slavs
Increasingly , historians have been turning their attention to the effects of Nazi racism. In recent years major studies have appeared on forced sterilization, euthanasia, theft of “racially valuable” children, and “antinatalism,” as well as the destruction of “racially undesirable” groups: the handicapped, certain foreign laborers, and homosexuals
Students, Workers, and Social Change
Only a few years after the defeat of Nazi Germany, communists throughout eastern Europe began constructing new societies according to models imported from the Soviet Union. One of the most important tasks facing them in this enterprise was to establish firm bases of social support. For this, the Soviet model seemed straightforward: communists had to destroy the power of the old elites and recruit new elites from underprivileged social strata. In …

Catholic Racism and Its Opponents
Ulbricht and the Intellectuals
Khrushchev's secret speech of February 1956 threw the moral and political world of East Central Europe's intellectuals into turmoil. One of the most secure belief systems ever devised was suddenly revealed to be the ideological justification for crimes of a massive scale. Several generations of Communists groped for orientation, and radical change seemed inevitable. East Germany's intellectuals were no exception in their expectations and desires …
The Uses of Volksgemeinschaft
East German Higher Education Policies and Student Resistance, 1945–1948
Those who opposed Communist rule in East Germany often did so because Communism in practice strongly reminded them of the fascism they had experienced in the Third Reich. The new East German regime was also one that attempted total control of people's lives; therefore it became natural to describe it as totalitär . Most sensitive to the similarities between the old and new regimes were university students. They displayed stronger direct oppositio…
