  • Photographing Sites of Nazi Violence, 1933–1945

    Open AccessDavid F Crew, David CrewARTICLECentral European History2024References: 3

    By far the greatest number of photographs of Nazi sites of violence were taken by the perpetrators. Some Jews did work as official photographers in the ghettoes, but during deportations, in the camps and extermination centers, and at the sites of mass shootings, only Gestapo officers, SS men and women, or other authorized personnel were officially permitted to use cameras. In the Mauthausen concentration camp, for example, as Lukas Meissel explai…

  • Lives Reclaimed: A Story of Rescue and Resistance in Nazi GermanyMark Roseman

    Open AccessDavid F CrewARTICLEHolocaust and Genocide Studies2021

    Few Germans helped Jews or other victims of Nazi persecution. Mark Roseman’s fascinating new book on the activities of a little-known group, the Bund: Gemeinschaft für sozialistisches Leben (League: Community for Socialist Life), brings small but important rays of light into this otherwise dark picture. In 2000, Roseman introduced readers to the remarkable activities of the Bund in his excellent book about Marianne Strauss, a young Jewish woman i…

  • Modern Hungers: Food and Power in Twentieth Century Germany

    David F CrewARTICLEGerman History2018

    In this ambitious book, Alice Weinreb explores the central role of food in what she calls the ‘biopolitical ambitions’ (p. 7) of twentieth-century German states. In times of both scarcity and abundance, state authorities have displayed a keen interest in regulating and controlling the production, distribution and consumption of food. In the first half of the twentieth century, war became synonymous with mass hunger for millions of Germans. During…

  • Visual Power? The Politics of Images in Twentieth-Century Germany and Austria-Hungary

    David F CrewARTICLEGerman History2009

    In the twentieth century, images have played a crucial role in the construction and reproduction of political power. Yet German historians have only recently begun to pay serious attention to the politics of images. The five books under review here show that visual power has operated in two major ways: first, through the production and circulation of the ‘right images’ of any specific historical event or period, which is the subject of almost all…

  • Sleeping with the Enemy? A Fiction Film for German Television about the Bombing of Dresden

    Open AccessDavid F CrewARTICLECentral European History2007Cited by: 5

    Dealing with the Nazi past has become a permanent component (some would say obsession) of contemporary German national identity. Almost every day, the German print and visual media carry stories related to Hitler, World War II, and the Holocaust. Each new major anniversary sets in motion another round of discussion, argument, and controversy. Each new autobiography and each new film on Nazism generates extensive media commentary. Among the most i…

  • Consuming Germany in the Cold War

    David F CrewBOOKConsuming Germany in the Cold War2003

    Sitting in the ruins of the Third Reich, most Germans wanted to know which of the two post-war German states would erase the material traces of their wartime suffering most quickly and most thoroughly. Consumption and the quality of everyday life quickly became important battlefields upon which the East-West conflict would be fought. This book focuses on the competing types of consumer societies that developed over time in the two Germanies and t…

  • Germans on Welfare: From Weimar to Hitler

    C Edmund Clingan, David F CrewARTICLEGerman Studies Review2001Cited by: 14

    The welfare state was one of the pillars of the Weimar Republic. The Weimar experiment in democracy depended to no small degree upon the welfare system's ability to give German citizens at least a fundamental level of material and mental security in the face of the new risks to which they had been exposed by the effects of the lost war, revolution, and inflation. But the problems of the postwar period meant that, even in its best years, the Weima…

    IN THE PAST TWO DECADES, social-historical approaches have made a substantial contribution to history of 19thand 20th-century German labour movement. Each of books under review here carries this general project forward; yet each book also confronts us with quite different, at times, incompatible representations of the German working-class. Indeed one comes away from reading these five new studies with a troubling question; is there still a collec…
