Dispossession
This collection of essays by a range of international, multidisciplinary scholars explores the financial history, social significance, and cultural meanings of the theft, starting in 1933, of assets owned by German Jews. Despite the fraught topic and the ongoing legal discussions, the subject has not received much scholarly attention until now. This volume offers a much needed contribution to our understanding of the history of the period and the…
Kapitalismus und politische Moral in der Zwischenkriegszeit Oder
Martin Geyer has written an unusual book. Like its main protagonist, the Jewish-Ukrainian-Dutch-German-Belgian entrepreneur Julius Barmat, Geyer’s study deals in the ‘known unknown’ (p. 18). That is, it explores a topic about which we know we know nothing. For the most part, historians tend to focus on the known knowns—reinterpreting what we think we already know—or on the unknown unknowns—turning up sources or crafting arguments that upend what …

Unifying without Integrating
The demise of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) came as a surprise to most western observers. For historians of modern Europe, its disappearance remains remarkable for at least two reasons.

Since the French Revolution unleashed the power of national self-determination as an ordering principle more than 200 years ago, new sovereign states have continued…

His fascination with the past, love of the present, and concern for th…
Out of Sight
The Stasi continues to enjoy a reputation as one of the most effective espionage agencies in the world, especially in the area of foreign intelligence gathering. This article employs the case of Gerhardt Ronneberger, one of East Germany's most capable spies, to challenge assumptions about the Stasi's operational successes, economic relevance and methodological proficiency. In particular, it argues that East German intelligence gathering was under…
Selling Modernity
The sheer intensity and violence of Germany’s twentieth century—through the end of an empire, two world wars, two democracies, and two dictatorships—provide a unique opportunity to assess the power and endurance of commercial imagery in the most extreme circumstances. Selling Modernity places advertising and advertisements in this tumultuous historical setting, exploring such themes as the relationship between advertising and propaganda in Nazi G…
