Historical Culture by Restitution?
From Windhoek to Auschwitz?
Forty years before the war of annihilation in eastern Europe and the Holocaust, German colonial troops in German South West Africa perpetrated the first genocide of the twentieth century. From Windhoek to Auschwitz? interrogates the relationship between colonialism and National Socialism, using genocide, the 'racial state', and systems of forced labour as points of departure for comparative observation. The book is an indispensable document in th…

S tefan I hrig . Justifying Genocide
There is no history of genocide in which there is not a chapter on the fate of the Armenians in the late Ottoman Empire, especially during World War I. For many, the events that began on April 24, 1915, when Ottoman authorities started rounding up members of the Armenian elite in Istanbul, constitute the first genocide of the twentieth century. Although this claim is rejected by others, particularly by Turkish governments of various political lea…
Climate Change and Genocide
Climate change, environmental violence and genocide
Anthropogenic climate change is the most fundamental challenge for humankind in the twenty-first century. Rising sea levels and the loss of agricultural land, severe weather changes and desertification are just some of the likely consequences that will drastically alter the living conditions of millions of people, mainly in the global south. Environmental violence, including resource crises such as peak fossil fuel, should be of major concern to …

Hundred years after the genocidal warfare conducted by the Schutztruppe in German South West Africa, in which the German colonial army deliberately killed thousands of Herero and Nama men, women and children;…
Holocauste et colonialisme. Contribution à une archéologie de la pensée génocidaire
The invasion of Poland and the Soviet Union by the German Reich was without doubt a significant war of colonial expansionism. The Nazi officials with Hitler at their head justified this policy of expansionism with clear references to colonial history. However, not all researchers consider the Third Reich’s policy of expansionism in terms of colonial history. In fact, historical research deliberately ignores the structural similarities between Nat…
Settlers, imperialism, genocide. Introduction

Late Ottoman genocides
From 1899 to 1922, the Swiss deacon Jakob Kunzler (1871–1949) headed a missionary hospital in Ourfa, an old city in South-Eastern Anatolia. During his time in the Eastern Provinces of the Ottoman E
The birth of theOstlandout of the spirit of colonialism
Historical analyses of the German conquest and occupation of 'the East' during the Second World War neglect an important tradition that can help in understanding National Socialist politics, namely, colonial rule. These two historical phenomena are structurally similar in that they both are based on the same concepts of 'race' and 'space'. Zimmerer first examines the colonial elements of Nazi occupation policy, the war of extermination and genoci…
