Invention of Marxism
Zwischen Verdrängung und Vereinnahmung
Vorspann Die hier erstmals veröffentlichte Analyse des sogenannten Historikerstreits, die 1988 in der Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit verfasst wurde, zeigt exemplarisch, dass dieser keine rein westdeutsche Auseinandersetzung war. Die zwischen Verdrängung und Vereinnahmung changierende Strategie, mit der Historiker, SED-Führung und Staatssicherheit die Kontroverse medial, wissenschaftspolitisch und geheimdienstlich…
The Unexpectedness of Events
Thirty years ago, on October 3, 1990, two German states became one. The academy, however, had a long way to go before it could begin to make a similar claim. The relatively swift dismantling of the “Wall on the ground” did not occasion an equally swift dismantling of the so-called “Wall in the head,” especially within the historical field in the new Federal Republic. Young scholars from the “Workers’ and Peasants’ State” launched their careers as…
Probing the Limits of Categorization
German Zeitgeschichte
This book is both a typical and an idiosyncratic representative of German contemporary historiography. As a Festschrift, it is dedicated to the work of Konrad Jarausch, a leading scholar of modern German history with an impressive and influential transatlantic academic biography. As a bilingual collection of essays, it offers a wide range of inquiries into the political, social, economic and cultural ‘German Zeitgeschichte’—understood as the hist…
The 'Bystander' in Recent Dutch Historiography
‘Wij weten niets van hun lot’: Gewone Nederlanders en de Holocaust. By Bart van der Boom. Amsterdam: Boom. 2012. 536 pp. €29.90 (paperback). Bart van der Boom has written a controversial book about Dutch society under German occupation. Its title translates as ‘We know nothing of their fate’: Ordinary Dutchmen and the Holocaust.1 With his book, van der Boom seeks to weigh in on the debate about whether the Holocaust should be attributed to the Na…
ASTRID M. Eckert. The Struggle for the Files
The total defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II resulted in the loss of German sovereignty, the utter devastation of the nation's civilian, military, and industrial infrastructure, and the partial destruction or capture of its written official records. In her captivating book, Astrid M. Eckert details the odyssey of the German archives after 1945 from their seizure by the victorious armies to their piecemeal, still incomplete return to Germany i…
Legacies of Stalingrad
Christina Morina's book examines the history of the Eastern Front war and its impact on German politics and society throughout the postwar period. She argues that the memory of the Eastern Front war was one of the most crucial and contested themes in each part of the divided Germany. Although the Holocaust gained the most prominent position in West German memory, official memory in East Germany centered on the war against the USSR. The book analy…
An Experiment in Political Education’
(2008). ‘An Experiment in Political Education’: Henry W. Ehrmann, German POWs in US Reeducation Programs, and the Democratisation of Germany after the Second World War. War & Society: Vol. 27, No. 1, pp. 79-103
Vernichtungskrieg, Kalter Krieg und politisches Gedächtnis
The divided political memory of the war on the Eastern Front is the subject of this article. It analyzes and contextualizes the ways in which the interpretation of the war against the Soviet Union (1941-1945) by political elites shaped postwar German political culture as old alliances crumbled and new alliances formed in the unfolding Cold War. This is the first comprehensive analysis of the memory of the Eastern Front focusing on the intersectio…
Instructed Silence, Constructed Memory
After 1950, at least 23,000 German POWs remained in Soviet captivity as ‘war criminals’, and they were pardoned and released in several amnesties from 1950 to 1956. This article examines the political and propagandistic reactions of the ruling SED to the return of those prisoners. It analyses how the SED's attempts to reintegrate ‘war criminals’ into a socialist society related to the official politics of the past ( Vergangenheitspolitik ) and th…
