Courage and Charm
Interest in memory activism is the methodological starting point for this account of Annedore Leber, Social Democratic politician in post-1945 Berlin and surviving member of the resistance group that plotted the assassination attempt of 20 July 1944 on Adolf Hitler. Beginning in 1946, her memory work entailed a narrative to influence Germans, prone to view that plot as treasonous, to reconsider the resistance. Initially, her often-articulated con…
Liberal Alarm
Beginning in the 1950s, the West German press reported on US race relations. While ‘liberal’ on Civil Rights, it often expressed ambivalence or alarm. The background of these responses included the ‘re‐education’ of West Germans, in which American occupation officials tried to discredit Nazi racism, but also offered a view of US history in which the post‐Civil War Reconstruction of the South had allowed black men sexual access to white women. Som…
Memory by Way of Anne Frank
Beginning in the late 1950s, West Germans made one particular Holocaust victim the focus not only of remembrance and mourning, but of an uneasy discussion of German guilt. Understanding the Holocaust by way of Anne Frank, though practiced the world over, took unique forms in the Federal Republic, where her diary gained unprecedented popularity. Yet some critics feared that excessive attention to the girl's story distracted from larger moral quest…

Antimodernism in the Popular Entertainment of Modern Munich

Against the individualism of modem society, for example, it has affirmed the social solidity of communities rooted in tradition. Against the modem city it has posed the country, representing life there as more traditional, more natural, simpler, better for the human spirit. Concerning politics, it has yearned for the rule of princes in preference…
The Local Politics of the Prussian State
Virtually all studies of the rise of nationalism in modern Germany relate their subject in some way to the history of the state. There was, for example, a profusion of national feeling in German society in the later nineteenth century, and it has been seen as an outgrowth of the aggrandizement of state power in Prussia. German nationalism in the Age of Napoleon has been viewed as the nation's response to her subjugation by France, which in turn t…

Erich Muhsam. Literatur und Anarchie
Popular Entertainment, Class, and Politics in Munich, 1900-1923
From the turn of the century until 1923, the year of the National Socialist putsch, popular entertainment in Munich reflected the sentiments and ideas of its largely middle-class audience. While industrialization, rapid urbanization, World War I, and the German Revolution of 1918 19 created an atmosphere of turbulent change, performances on Munich's popular stages gave voice to the continuity of several basic attitudes: patriotism; nostalgia for …
