On the night of November 9, 1938, an organized show of force against Jewish businesses and private homes occurred throughout German cities and recently annexed territories in Austria and the Sudetenland. This night would mark a turning point in the lives of not only Jews but all people of the time, marking a clear new path of violence, destruction, and persecution for Jews throughout Europe in the years to follow.

East Germany: The History and Legacy of the Soviet Satellite State Established after World War II examines the controversial country and its place in the Cold War. The history of East Germany was a remarkable one, from its chaotic origins through its ossification as a Stalinist regime, until the country collapsed with the Berlin Wall. Not only is Germany still marked by the division, but the old frontier still represents different expectations, social conditions, and worldviews.

The Weimar Republic has become a byword for a failed, tragic, political experiment. The official period of its existence, 1919-1933, marked the inter-war years in Germany and their related uncertainty, chaos, and the state’s ultimate collapse. Historians have found the roots of Nazism embedded in the Weimar years and that, in the final analysis, Weimar politicians voluntarily handed over power to the man who wrought destruction on an epic scale, Adolf Hitler.

Beginning with Charlemagne, the great and educated king who would serve as an inspiration for world leaders from Frederick II to Adolf Hitler, the Holy Roman Empire’s intricate ties with the Roman Catholic Church would provide for plenty of excitement and drama in its early years. However, as the empire staggered through the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, it would eventually be forced to declare its allegiance with a new way of thinking: Protestantism.

Dopo la fine della Prima Guerra Mondiale la situazione della Germania è a dir poco drammatica. Il paese è letteralmente devastato e sulle ceneri di quella che era stata una delle nazioni più importanti d'Europa sorge la debole Repubblica di Weimar. Una crisi economica senza precedenti, resa ancora più difficile dalle durissime condizioni imposte dai francesi al termine del primo conflitto mondiale, porta all'affermarsi di movimenti estremisti che cavalcano il malcontento popolare.

The German invasion of Poland on 1 September, 1939, designated as Fall Weiss (Case White), was the event that sparked the outbreak of World War II in Europe. The campaign has widely been described as a textbook example of Blitzkrieg, but it was actually a fairly conventional campaign as the Wehrmacht was still learning how to use its new Panzers and dive-bombers. The Polish military is often misrepresented as hopelessly obsolete and outclassed by the Wehrmacht, yet in fact it was well-equipped with modern weapons and armor.

In 1919 the Treaty of Versailles stripped Germany of its overseas colonies. This sudden transition to a post-colonial nation left the men and women invested in German imperialism to rebuild their status on the international stage. Remnants of an earlier era, these Kolonialdeutsche (Colonial Germans) exploited any opportunities they could to recover, renovate, and market their understandings of German and European colonial aims in order to reestablish themselves as "experts" and "fellow civilizers" in discourses on nationalism and imperialism.

Der nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg ins Leben gerufene "Thule-Orden" gilt als organisatorisches Fundament der nationalsozialistischen Bewegung. Zu seinen Gründungsmitgliedern zählten Himmler, Streicher, Rosenberg und Hess. Doch so eindeutig, wie manche Historiker es darstellen, scheinen die Ziele des geheimnisvollen Ordens nicht gewesen zu sein. Welche Rolle spielte ihr Gründer Freiherr von Sebottendorf wirklich? Woher stammt sein sagenhaftes Vermögen? Gab es Auftraggeber im Dunkeln, die bis heute gedeckt werden? Welches Geheimnis hüten die Eingeweihten dieser Schattenorganisation?

"Eine Regierung muss sparsam sein, weil das Geld, das sie erhält, aus dem Blut und Schweiß ihres Volkes stammt. Es ist gerecht, dass jeder einzelne dazu beiträgt, die Ausgaben des Staates tragen zu helfen. Aber es ist nicht gerecht, dass er die Hälfte seines jährlichen Einkommens mit dem Staate teilen muss." Was auf den ersten Blick wie ein aktuelles Zitat eines kritischen Wirtschaftsjournalisten wirkt, stammt in Wahrheit aus dem Munde des preußischen Königs Friedrich II.

Von der Hermannsschlacht bis zum Fall der Mauer Das Hörbuch "Die Geschichte der Deutschen" zeichnet ebenso pointiert wie kompetent die Entwicklung Deutschlands von seinen Ursprüngen bis in die Gegenwart nach. Kein trockener Geschichtsunterricht, keine langweilige Aneinanderreihung von Daten und Fakten, sondern eine sprachlich brillante, mit Ironie und "inkorrekten" Seitenhieben gespickte Reise in unsere eigene Vergangenheit - von der Hermannsschlacht bis zum Fall der Mauer.

Nach Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs erschütterten Aufstände, Generalstreiks und Straßenkämpfe das geschlagene Deutschland. In Oberschlesien griffen polnische Aufständische nach dem deutschen Industriegebiet, im Ruhrgebiet zwangen französische und belgische Truppen mit äußerster Brutalität die streikenden Bergarbeiter zum Frondienst. Ein ganzes Land wurde zum Spielball ausländischer Kräfte.

In profiling two leading figures in the German resistance, Elisabeth Sifton and Fritz Stern have revealed an important truth about the anti-Nazi underground: although those who opposed Hitler often had motives unrelated to anti-Semitism, the most influential resisters were driven primarily by a shared horror at the mass murder of Jews.
