Das Buch demonstriert am regionalen Beispiel der Hitler-Jugend in Slowenien Hintergründe, Strategien, Motive und Handlungsspielräume nationalsozialistischer Herrschaftssicherung und Besatzungspolitik. Die Autorin erörtert anhand des österreichisch-slowenischen Grenzraumes Praktiken der Herrschaftssicherung im Nationalsozialismus. Eine zentrale Rolle kommt dabei der Untersuchung der Kategorie "deutsch" im Kontext der breit angestrebten Germanisierungsmaßnahmen zu. Lisbeth Matzer beleuchtet die grenzüberschreitenden Aktivitäten der Hitler-Jugend im besetzten Oberkrain und der Untersteiermark wie auch die Handlungsspielräume der "deutschen" Jugendlichen andererseits. Durch den Blick auf die angestrebte Kontrolle der Jugend werden Funktionsweisen national-sozialistischer Herrschaftspraxis vor Ort sichtbar gemacht.

He analyzes some of the revelations of the seized German documents, and in conclusion draws a parallel between the power hunger of the Nazis and that of the Kremlin. -- Description in Foreign Affairs http://www.foreignaffairs.com (Jan. 9, 2013).

Discusses the literary figure of the "eternal Jew", which was used in Nazi propaganda and exploited in various performances. In München, an exhibition entitled "Der ewige Jude" was initiated in 1937, and afterwards presented in Vienna, Berlin, and other cities. The purpose of the exhibition was to provoke repulsion toward Jews. It also served as the basis of a propaganda film with the same name, which premiered in November 1940 and used the same methods as the exhibition: discrimination, denunciation, and stigmatization of Jews, thus preparing the population for the annihilation of European Jewry. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism).

The socialist states of Eastern Europe closely and suspiciously observed the expellee organizations that had emerged in the Federal Republic since the late 1940s, including their political activities. This volume, for the first time, takes a look at this 'enemy and foreign observation' by the intelligence services, using various case studies from the GDR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Yugoslavia. It examines what the secret services knew about the expellee functionaries and their past, and asks what information was collected and how it was used. In addition, the role of the Germans who remained in the socialist states and the Aussiedler, who came to the FRG and formed a link between the expellees and their 'old homeland', is examined. The volume thus makes an important contribution to research on the perception of the expellee organizations in the socialist states, on the work of the security services, and on bilateral contacts during the 'Cold War'.

"Völkisch" nationalism, whose origins date back to the 19th century, extended its influence since the time of the German Empire and survives to this day. The new edition of this handbook addresses the vast increase in research findings and fills earlier gaps with new information and revised insights. It has a broad focus, considering everything from research programs and institutions to biographies, newspapers, and important individuals. Seit dem Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts und verstärkt im Deutschen Kaiserreich war der völkische Nationalismus in der Rechten verankert und gewann während der Weimarer Republik sichtlich an politischer Relevanz. Das Handbuch beschreibt und analysiert das Aufkommen rechtspopulistischer Wissenschaftsfelder seit der Jahrhundertwende bis hin zur Radikalisierung, Nazifizierung und Mobilisierung von Wissenschaftlern für die Kriegs-, Umsiedlungs- und Vernichtungsabsichten in den Jahren bis 1944/45. Völkische Forschungsparadigmen wirkten auch danach in der Bundesrepublik weiter und können bis in die Gegenwart verfolgt werden. Die Neuauflage des Handbuchs nimmt die wissenschaftshistorische Herausforderung an und erschließt mit rund 150 neuen Lemmata und Neuüberarbeitungen bisherige Leerstellen. In über 300 Artikeln werden Forschungsprogramme, Institutionen, Personen, Zeitschriften, Ämter und Politikfelder präsentiert. Basierend auf neuen Archivrecherchen wird der Blick auf die Einbindung akademischer Experten in die ethnische Säuberung sowie auf die Vernichtungspolitik gelenkt. Einzelbiographien verdeutlichen ergänzend die Brüche und Kontinuitäten nach 1945.

Knowledge about "happiness" means power. For the self-portrayal of a nation, its system of values and morals, knowledge about happiness can be used and reinterpreted as an emotional-political instrument of power. How did knowledge of happiness change after 1933? In the years of crisis and war, which were marked by propaganda, persecution, the Second World War and the Holocaust, knowledge of happiness had a mass psychological function in Nazi Germany within the framework of the racist work moral "Kraft durch Freude" ("Strength through Joy") and in Switzerland in the context of the cultural-nationalist emotional policy of "geistige Landesverteidigung" ("intellectual national defence"). Isabelle Haffter shows the constructedness of happiness knowledge as an ambivalent expert and popular knowledge, which is characterised by change and continuities. The aim of the study is to uncover a research gap in the transnational history of knowledge and emotions about cultural nationalisms by means of historical case studies from the fields of politics, science and the performing arts.
