Download A German Generation Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Germans of the generation born just before the outbreak of World War I lived through a tumultuous and dramatic century. This book tells the story of their lives and, in so doing, offers a new history of twentieth-century Germany, as experienced and made by ordinary human beings.On the basis of sixty-two oral-history interviews, this book shows how this generation was shaped psychologically by a series of historically engendered losses over the course of the century. In response, this generation turned to the collective to repair the losses it had suffered, most fatefully to the community of the "Volk" during the Third Reich, a racial collective to which this generation was passionately committed and which was at the heart of National Socialism and its popular appeal.

Download Objects as History in Twentieth-century German Art Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book provides an overview of twentieth-century German art, focusing on some of the period's key works. In Peter Chametzky's innovative approach, these works become representatives rather than representations of twentieth-century history. Chametzky draws on both scholarly and popular sources to demonstrate how the works (and in some cases, the artists themselves) interacted with, and even enacted, historical events, processes, and ideas.--[book jacket].

Download History of 20th Century Germany Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Tracking the turbulent course of 20th century German history. Around 1900, Germany was economically the strongest country on the European continent, a leader in the sciences, with a flourishing culture and a progressive social model. One hundred years later, it is presented as being so once again. But, in between, there were two world wars, a failed democracy, the Nazi dictatorship and the Holocaust, and the 40-year division of the country. How did Germany go from the economic and cultural bloom of the country around the turn of the century to mass crimes during the Nazi dictatorship? And how did the Germans emerge from this apocalypse over the next sixty years? Ulrich Herbert tackles here the questions of both the collapse in the first half of the century and the development from a post-fascist, ruined society to one of the most stable liberal democracies and one of the richest countries in the world in the latter half. To explain these trajectories, Herbert's analysis brings together wars and terror, utopia and politics, capitalism and the welfare state, socialism and liberal democratic society, gender and generations, culture and lifestyles, European integration and globalization.

Download German-Balkan Entangled Histories in the Twentieth Century Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This volume brings together a diverse group of scholars from North America and Europe to explore the history and memory of Germany’s fateful push for power in the Balkans during the era of the two world wars and the long postwar period. Each chapter focuses on one or more of four interrelated themes: war, empire, (forced) migration, and memory. The first section, “War and Empire in the Balkans,” explores Germany’s quest for empire in Southeast Europe during the first half of the century, a goal that was pursued by economic and military means. The book’s second section, “Aftershocks and Memories of War,” focuses on entangled German-Balkan histories that were shaped by, or a direct legacy of, Germany’s exceptionally destructive push for power in Southeast Europe during World War II. German-Balkan Entangled Histories in the Twentieth Century expands and enriches the neglected topic of Germany’s continued entanglements with the Balkans in the era of the world wars, the Cold War, and today.
