Human rights are not (if even considered) prominent within typical nationalist discourses. Nationalism has preoccupations with wars, empire, heroism, common struggles, or self-righteousness. The national past is typically praised within patriotic narratives because this illustrates the idealized characteristics of identity. For the worst twentieth century examples of nationalism (and related political ...

Geschichte des Bestandsbildners Die verschiedenen Schulen der Waffen-SS wurden in der Regel auf Weisung des SS-Führungshauptamts gegründet.

Beginning with a description of the two chief wings of the German homosexual emancipation movement in the early twentieth century, the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee and the Community of the Self-Owners, the article shows how Hanns Heinz Ewers's novel, Fundvogel, is a unique combination of seemingly antithetical ideologies. The novel's rather fantastic plot centers on a sex change operation and ...

Discusses ideological forms of Holocaust-reception within the political cultures of Israel and Germany.

This new and improved edition of Sources of the Holocaust brings together over 90 original Holocaust documents and testimonies to put the reader into direct contact with the genocide's human participants. ...

"The Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal: Like its Nuremberg counterpart, the Tokyo Trial was foundational in the field of international law. However, up to now, the persistent notion of "victor's justice" in the existing historical literature has made it difficult to treat it as such. David Cohen and Yuma Totani seek to redress this by cutting through persistent orthodoxies and ideologies that have plagued ...

Lange Zeit wurde die Rolle von Frauen im "Dritten Reich" meist auf die von Opfern reduziert. Die Täterinnen-Ebene blendeten Forschung und Öffentlichkeit gerne aus. Allzu schnell war vergessen: Frauen waren Angehörige der SS gewesen, hatten Konzentrationslager bewacht und weibliche Häftlinge brutal misshandelt, als Ärztinnen und Krankenschwestern bei Menschenversuchen und "Euthanasie"--Aktionen ...

This volume argues that violence in the world has declined both in the long run and in the short, and suggests explanations why this has happened. The author maintains that the key to explaining the decline of violence is to understand the "inner demons" that incline us toward violence and the "better angels" that steer us away. Thanks to the spread of government, literacy, trade, and cosmopolitanism, ...

The World Aflame will embrace not only the total conflagrations of 1914-18 and 1939-45 and the international tensions, conflicting ideologies and malign economic forces that ...

One of the troublesome factors in the Rome-Berlin Axis before and during the Second World War centered on disagreements over racial ideology and corresponding antisemitic policies. A common image sees Fascist Italy as a reluctant partner on racial matters, largely dominated by its more powerful Nazi ally. This article offers a contrasting assessment, tracing the efforts by Italian theorist Julius Evola ...

"The history and ideologies of the Far Right in Britain have been well documented, but there has been little understanding of the movement's cultural foundations. This text explores the cultural history of fascism and the Far Right and mines a seam of intense interest for both academics and students, as well as for the general reader. The book demonstrates that British fascism is essentially not just ...

Der böse Deutsche: barbarisch, blutrünstig, durchdrungen von rassistischer Ideologie und stets bereit, Befehle so brutal wie möglich auszuführen. Im Gegensatz dazu der gute Italiener: empathisch, kriegsunwillig und nachsichtig selbst in seiner Rolle als Besatzer. Diese beiden Stereotype sind es, die die kollektive Erinnerung in Italien prägen. Sie haben eine Grauzone entstehen lassen, in der kein Raum ...
