This study provides the first comprehensive discussion of conservation in Nazi Germany. Looking at Germany in an international context, it analyses the roots of conservation in the late nineteenth century, the gradual adaptation of racist and nationalist thinking among conservationists in the 1920s and their indifference to the Weimar Republic. It describes how the German conservation movement came to cooperate with the Nazi regime and discusses the ideological and institutional lines between the conservation movement and the Nazis. Uekoetter further examines how the conservation movement struggled to do away with a troublesome past after World War II, making the environmentalists one of the last groups in German society to face up to its Nazi burden. It is a story of ideological convergence, of tactical alliances, of careerism, of implication in crimes against humanity, and of deceit and denial after 1945. It is also a story that offers valuable lessons for today's environmental movement.

Werner Heisenberg, né en 1901 en Allemagne, est un des grands physiciens de ce siècle. Elève de Max Plack et Sommerfeld, il travailla avec Born et Niels Bohr. Il a apporté des idées essentielles à la nouvelle théorie de la mécanique quantique, en particulier ses fameuses relations d'incertitude. Ses travaux lui ont valu le Prix Nobel de physique. Dans cet ouvrage, Heisenberg retrace l'évolution de la physique au XXe siècle telle qu'il l'a vécue, depuis ses premiers contacts avec la théorie atomique (1919-1920) jusqu'aux découvertes de nouvelles particules élémentaires (1961-1965), en passant par les discussions avec Einstein. Ecrits de manière très simple et très vivante, ces chapitres sont une extraordinaire introduction aux grands problèmes scientifiques de notre siècle. Mais la science est faite par les hommes, rappelle Heisenberg, au sein même de l'Histoire. L'histoire du XXe siècle est terrible pour la physique aussi, et Heisenberg, qui n'a pas quitté l'Allemagne pendant la guerre, raconte avec de nombreux détails la situation des physiciens juifs, contraints d'émigrer, l'incertitude des autres, leur désarroi, l'atmosphère même de l'Université allemande. En ce sens, ce livre est aussi un livre d'histoire, extrêmement passionnant.

The Faustian bargain-in which an individual or group collaborates with an evil entity in order to obtain knowledge, power, or material gain-is perhaps best exemplified by the alliance between world-renowned human geneticists and the Nazi state. Under the swastika, German scientists descended into the moral abyss, perpetrating heinous medical crimes at Auschwitz and at euthanasia hospitals. But why did biomedical researchers accept such a bargain? The Nazi Symbiosis offers a nuanced account of the myriad ways human heredity and Nazi politics reinforced each other before and during the Third Reich. Exploring the ethical and professional consequences for the scientists involved as well as the political ramifications for Nazi racial policies, Sheila Faith Weiss places genetics and eugenics in their larger international context. In questioning whether the motives that propelled German geneticists were different from the compromises that researchers from other countries and eras face, Weiss extends her argument into our modern moment, as we confront the promises and perils of genomic medicine today.

Réunis à l'occasion du 10e Congrès de l'Association des Archéologues européens, tenu à Lyon en 2004, une vingtaine de spécialistes français et étrangers présentent ici une synthèse de leurs recherches sur les travaux et les projets archéologiques mis en place par les autorités nationales-socialistes dans les pays occupés à l'ouest du Reich. Ce tour d'horizon révèle l'étendue de l'entreprise d'instrumentalisation de la discipline archéologique réalisée au profit de l'idéologie nazie. Il souligne également l'importance de cet encombrant héritage dans l'archéologie européenne actuelle. A tous, ces recherches rappellent la responsailité des archéologues lorsque le passé devient une arme, utilisée d'abord pour exclure l'autre puis bientôt le faire disparaître.
