  • Zwischen Österreich und Grossdeutschland: Eine politische Geschichte der Salzburger Festspiele, 1933–1944, by Robert Kriechbaumer

    Open AccessMichael H KaterARTICLEThe English Historical Review2015

    Robert Kriechbaumer’s book details the history of the Salzburg Festival first within the framework of the relationship between the Austrian Republic and the Third Reich and, after the Anschluss in March 1938, as a part of the Nazi cultural establishment. The festival, founded in 1920 by Max Reinhardt and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, suffered jolts after Hitler’s coming to power in 1933, because Hitler coveted Austria and the annual event was viewed as …

  • Weimar: From Enlightenment to the Present

    Michael H KaterBOOKWeimar2014

    This book chronicles the rise and fall of one of Germany's most iconic cities in this history of Weimar. Weimar was a centre of the arts during the Enlightenment and hence the cradle of German culture in modern times. Johann Wolfgang Goethe and Friedrich von Schiller made their reputations here, as did Franz Liszt and the young Richard Strauss. In the early twentieth century, the Bauhaus school was founded in Weimar. But from the 1880s on, the ci…

  • David B. Dennis. Inhumanities: Nazi Interpretations of Western Culture

    Michael H KaterARTICLEThe American Historical Review2013

    David B. Dennis has rendered the highly important, if arduous, service of reading through the Nazi Party's Völkischer Beobachter and controlling its content for articles on culture. The VB, as it was known in everyday jargon, was founded by Adolf Hitler's mentor, Dietrich Eckart and eventually published by Hitler's self-styled party philosopher, Alfred Rosenberg, who later relinquished the chief editorship to subordinates. It appeared first in Mu…

  • New Democracy and Alternative Culture: Jazz in West Germany after the Second World War

    Open AccessMichael H KaterARTICLEAustralian Journal of Politics &…2006

    The American Forces who occupied Germany in 1945–46 had hoped that popularising jazz music might assist in the redemocratisation of Germans under the age of thirty. The Amerika-Häuser established by the US State Department to build a cultural foundation for democracy amongst younger Germans, and American Forces Network radio each contributed to the gradual emergence of a West German jazz culture which was marked by a series of jazz festivals and …

    Open AccessMichael H KaterBOOKHitler Youth2004

    In modern times, the recruitment of children into a political organization and ideology reached its boldest embodiment in the Hitler Youth, founded in 1933. Drawing on reports, letters, diaries, and memoirs, Kater maps the history of the Hitler Youth, examining the means, degree, and impact of conversion, and the subsequent fate of young recruits.

  • Ärztliche Standespolitik im Nationalsozialismus: Julius Hadrich und Karl Haedenkamp als Beispiele (review)

    Michael H KaterARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2002

    When the West German Federal Physicians' Chamber (Bundesärztekammer) constituted itself in Cologne after 1945, it carried with it significant baggage from the Nazi period. For instance, it owed its monopoly position in the country to the Nazi centralization of formerly disaggregated organizations from the Weimar Republic—a process completed by April 1936. One originally conservative Weimar physicians' functionary who crossed over to the Nazis ear…

  • The Nazi War on Cancer (review)

    Michael H KaterARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2001

    Robert Proctor's new book is important for two reasons, a specific and a general one. Specifically, Proctor details the Nazi dictatorship's fight against a medically well defined nefarious disease, cancer. In general terms, he makes a significant statement about the interrelationship between politics and science when he writes that good science does not necessarily travel with good politics, and vice versa. I have recently studied the same phenom…

  • Nurses in Nazi Germany: Moral Choice in History (review)

    Michael H KaterARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2001

    I enjoyed reading this book, which in some ways reminded me of Michel Foucault's Birth of the Clinic (1973). But immediately a concern cropped up: although the book is entitled "Nurses in Nazi Germany," it covers only psychiatric nurses, and it devotes more than one-third of its text to the period before the Third Reich--so when the author correctly observes that "nurses remain a relatively understudied group in the history of medicine" (p. ix), …

  • Sisters in Sorrow: Voices of Care in the Holocaust (review)

    Michael H KaterARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2001

    This is a very moving book, one by women about women, edited by a woman and a man. Jewish female nurses and physicians tell of their "sisters in sorrow," who were Jewish women captives of the SS in concentration and liquidation camps, and whom these caregivers tried to help. Their help was often inadequate, because those tending the sick were not properly trained, but their stories show, as is clear from other camp memoirs, that the mere wish to …

  • Death of Medicine in Nazi Germany: Dermatology and Dermatopathology under the Swastika (review)

    Michael H KaterARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2000

    During the composition of this book the author evidently could not make up his mind whether he should write a monograph on the state of dermatology and its [End Page 642] practitioners in Nazi Germany, a history of the medical profession in this period, the story of the persecution of Jews, or a general history of the Third Reich, including its antecedents. To resolve this dilemma, he attempted to write all of these in one volume, and the result …
