Before the Holocaust
Bystander Society
Based on an extraordinary archive of personal accounts from the Nazi period, Bystander Society shifts the focus from the individual “bystander” to the wider context, highlighting the significance of changing social and political circumstances. Interpersonal relations in everyday life shifted under Nazi rule, weakening emotional connections, such that former fellow citizens could be viewed as outcasts. Changing structures of power and repression a…
Complicity and Indifference in Eastern Europe under Nazi Rule
Review of: Peter Black, Bela Rasky, and Marianne Windsperger, eds, Collaboration in the Holocaust and World War II in Eastern Europe (Wien/ Hamburg: new academic press, 2019). 382 pp. ISBN 978-3-7003-2-0739
Reframing the Past
Only a minority of Germans involved in Nazi crimes were prosecuted after the war, and the transnational history of trials is only beginning to be explored. Even less well understood are the ways in which those who were tainted by complicity reframed their personal life stories. Millions had been willing facilitators, witting beneficiaries, or passive (and perhaps unhappily helpless) witnesses of Nazi persecution; many had been actively involved i…
A Concise History of Germany
This book provides a clear and informative guide to the twists and turns of German history from the early middle ages to the present day. The multi-faceted, problematic history of the German lands has provided a wide range of debates and differences of interpretation. Mary Fulbrook provides a crisp synthesis of a vast array of historical material, and explores the interrelationships between social, political and cultural factors in the light of s…
Dissonant Lives
An innovative study of the ways in which Germans of different ages and life stages lived through the violent eruptions of the two world wars, and through the dictatorships of Nazism and then Communism that succeeded them.
Behind the Berlin Wall
Patrick Major, Oxford and New York, Oxford University Press, 2010, xiv+321 pp The Berlin Wall – symbol for so long not only of the division of Germany but of Cold War Europe and indeed of the world
Wissenschaftler und Parteigänger
Historical Tourism
Berlin was in many ways both symbol and flashpoint of much of twentieth-century German, European and Cold War history; it is now arguably one of the most historically self-aware cities in the world. Berlin appears, on a cursory visit, to be a city that bears even the lowest points in its history not only openly but brazenly, self-consciously, almost obsessively — certainly in contrast with a city like Vienna, where the Nazi past is remarkably qui…
Power and Society in the Gdr, 1961-1979
The communist German Democratic Republic, founded in 1949 in the Soviet-occupied zone of post-war Germany is, for many people, epitomized by the Berlin Wall; Soviet tanks and surveillance by the secret security police, the Stasi, appear to be central. But is this really all there is to the GDR1s history? How did people come to terms with their situation and make new lives behind the Wall? When the social history of the GDR in the 1960s and 1970s …

With the utmost difficulty, the ultimate effort of my memory—but why speak of memory since I had none left?—an effort I cannot name, I tried to recall the gestures you must make in order to assume once agai…
Introduction
This chapter raises some key problems with Elias's approach, focussing particularly on his notions of civilization and modernity, and on his assumptions about violence and the intemalisation of norms. It argues that there is relatively little exploration of space for creativity, for the role of the imagination, or a dialectical interplay between some irreducible individual core and a surrounding framework of culturally constructed perceptions. Th…
Un-Civilizing Processes
The collapse of the supposedly ‘civilized’ German nation into the ‘barbarism’ of Hitler’s Third Reich has cast a long shadow over interpretations of German culture and society. In the remarkable work of Norbert Elias, himself a refugee from Nazi Germany, a deep concern with the distinctiveness of ‘the Germans’ is linked with an ambitious attempt to work out more general relations between broad historical processes – patterns of state formation, c…

Representing the German Nation
Questions concerning the representation of have for some time been central to debates in both literary criticism and historiography. This collection of essays is concerned with these issues of representation, interpretation and identity. Modern Germany - with its dramatic political ruptures from late unification in 1871 through to the formation of two opposing German states - provides a case study for an analysis of these themes. This study bring…

German National Identity After the Holocaust
The Limits of Totalitarianism
History is not an exact science. In describing and seeking to resurrect—or at least reconstruct—past societies, historians make use of concepts which bear a double freight of meaning. Unlike the elements, atoms and molecules of natural science, which—however much they are artefacts of the inquiring scientist's mind rather than natural ‘givens’ of the outside world—cannot answer back, the terms which historians use to describe the human world are …

Anatomy Of A Dictatorship
Founded on the ruins of Hitler's defeated Third Reich, and lacking any intrinsic legitimacy, the German Democratic Republic nevertheless became the most stable and successful state in the Soviet bloc. Yet in the `gentle revolution' of 1989 it collapsed with startling speed. How can this extraordinary story of political stability followed by sudden implosion be explained? With the opening of the East German archives, it is at last possible to look…

Max Weber's 'Interpretive Sociology
The paper compares one aspect of Max Weber's explicit conception of'interpretive sociology' with his actual practices in his substantive investigations. It shosvs that Weber's overt emphasis on the importance of meanings and motives in causal explanation of social action does not correspond adequately with the true mode of explanation involved in his comparative-historical studies of the world religions. Rather, the ultimate level of causal expla…
Popular Discontent and Political Activism in the GDR
The German Democratic Republic was long noted for its apparent stability, efficiency and political quiescence, in contrast to the more turbulent domestic histories of neighbouring Poland and Czechoslovakia. In established narratives of East German history, the sole evidence of mass popular unrest before the autumn of 1989 was the June Uprising of 1953. After this, with a few isolated exceptions, East Germans simply kept their heads down. ‘Dissent…
The State and the Transformation of Political Legitimacy in East and West Germany since 1945
Recent German history has produced a remarkable succession of state forms: an empire riddled with internal social tensions, brought down by external defeat in a world war for which it bore a large degree of responsibility; an unstable and ultimately suicidal parliamentary democracy; a genocidal dictatorship which eventually collapsed, totally defeated by opponents of its expansionist and increasingly radical foreign and domestic plans; and, concu…

In the context of continuing debates over Protestantism, capitalism and the absolutist state, this book presents a fresh historical and theoretical analysis of religion and politics in early modern Europe. The author undertakes a systematic comparative-historical analysis of the very different contributions made by the Puritan and Pietist movements to the success or failure of absolutist rule in England, Württemberg and Prussia. While Puritans an…

Destined Pathways
The publication in 1974 of Perry Anderson's Passages from Antiquity to Feudalism and Lineages of the Absolutist State made quite a splash, sending ripples of appreciation through intellectual circles in Great Britain, the United States, and beyond. Conceived in the grand tradition of classical social science and written in open dialogue with the ideas of Max Weber and Karl Marx, Anderson's two books offer a single, coherent overview of European c…
