Holocaust Memory in a Globalizing World
Studying the Jew
Studying the Jew investigates those German scholars who forged an interdisciplinary field to create a comprehensive portrait of the Jew, fabricating an empirical basis for Nazi antisemitic policies. In a chilling story of academics who perverted their talents and distorted their research in support of persecution and genocide, Studying the Jew explores the intersection of ideology and scholarship, the state and the university, the intellectual an…
The Auschwitz Analogy
This article examines the use of analogies to the Holocaust in debates over the propriety and morality of American intervention in the Balkan crises of the 1990s. Both the proponents and the opponents of intervention invoked the Holocaust precedent, drawing very different conclusions about its applicability to Bosnia and Kosovo. The debates demonstrate how ostensible lessons from the Holocaust experience were deployed to mobilize public opinion b…

Assassins of Memory
Assassins of Memory is a passionate and painstaking look at one of the more curious realities of recent French cultural life: the prominence accorded to the phenomenon of revisionism. An attempt on the part of a tiny group of fanatics, often masquerading as scholars and researchers, to deny the existence of the gas chambers and horrors of Hitler's genocidal policies, revisionism is quietly gaining adherents. The movement has been most visible in …
German Cultural Imperialism in Czechoslovakia and Poland, 1938–1945
Between Reich destroyed the national independence of Czechoslovakia ' and, with the assistance of the Soviet Union, Poland. As a result, Germany acquired thirty million new subjects, only a minority ethnically German. The overwhelming majority, mainly Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, and Jews, were subjected to a far-reaching and often brutal programme of German cultural imperialism. The Germans intended to dismantle the foundations of indigenous culture,…
Weimar Culture and the Rise of National Socialism
Between 1928 and 1932, the National Socialist movement transformed itself from an insurgent fringe party into Germany's most potent political force. The most important factor in this dramatic turnabout in political fortunes was the rapid deterioration of the German economy beginning in 1929. It does not, however, logically follow that the German people simply fell into the lap of the party and its charismatic leader. To the contrary, the party ag…
