Book excerpt: He was evil incarnate, a main perpetrator of the Holocaust. Standing at six foot four inches and with deeply grotesque facial scars, he instilled fear as Hitler's top executioner of death. This thoroughly researched book takes you into the twisted psyche of one of the most vile and murdering figures of the Nazi regime. Ernst Kaltenbrunner was a high-ranking Austrian SS official, a driven anti-Semite, and fanatical Hitler loyalist. Rising quickly in the ranks, he was personally appointed as Chief of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA) — which included the Gestapo, Kripo, and SD — by Himmler himself. Under Kaltenbrunner's command, the genocide of Jews greatly intensified as the process of extermination throughout the occupied countries picked up incredible pace. Over seventy years later, Arthur Birago stumbles upon a mind-blowing forty-page letter by Kaltenbrunner that was hidden away in a safe of the State Archive of Upper Austria. Written secretly in Nuremberg prison while waiting to be executed, the letter is addressed to his children and was smuggled out in the bra of a female visitor. It's a sentimental and mendacious account of his childhood memories and upbringing in the countryside, from where he climbed to the zenith of power in the Nazi ranks and ultimately enjoyed the privilege of having direct access to Hitler. The letter is Kaltenbrunner's legacy to his children and a potential blueprint of a future all-powerful Fourth Reich. K - Kaltenbrunner is a meticulously researched and powerfully written book based on the historical facts surrounding Ernst Kaltenbrunner's last months of life. The prose masterfully draws you deeper and deeper into his distorted and abysmal psyche until you're sitting face to face with the Nazi monster inside his cell on death row. A riveting historical, creative nonfiction, K - Kaltenbrunner brings to life little known facts about the former "Lord of the concentration camps" never published before.

Order your copy now and get ready to delve into the distorted mind of a war criminal, who ordered in the morning the killing of thousands of innocent people in the gas chambers of the concentration camps and was in the evening at home a loving father to his children.

Book excerpt: Hidden away in a safe of the State archive of Upper Austria, the author discovered a secret letter written by Hitler's chief torturer, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Gestapo chief and head of the Reich Security Main Office. He wrote this letter to his children while waiting for his execution, and had it smuggled out of Nuremberg prison, concealed in the bra of a female visitor. The sentimental, mendacious memories of his childhood and upbringing in the countryside, from where he climbed to the zenith of power in the Nazi ranks, ultimately enjoying the privilege of direct access to Hitler, are Kaltenbrunner's legacy to bring about a future all-powerful Fourth Reich. With the eyes of the world upon him, the former "lord of the concentration camps" chose a defense strategy of total denial and even dared to claim that his signature under countless execution orders was a forgery. His shocking statements during cross-examination evoked deep disgust and contempt amongst Göring and the other war criminals on trial. This book is a meticulously researched report, based on historical facts, of the last months of Ernst Kaltenbrunner's life, drawing the reader deeper and deeper into his distorted and abysmal psyche until sitting face to face with the Nazi monster inside his cell on death row.

Book excerpt: Mission at Nuremberg is Tim Townsend’s gripping story of the American Army chaplain sent to save the souls of the Nazis incarcerated at Nuremberg, a compelling and thought-provoking tale that raises questions of faith, guilt, morality, vengeance, forgiveness, salvation, and the essence of humanity. Lutheran minister Henry Gerecke was fifty years old when he enlisted as am Army chaplain during World War II. As two of his three sons faced danger and death on the battlefield, Gerecke tended to the battered bodies and souls of wounded and dying GIs outside London. At the war’s end, when other soldiers were coming home, Gerecke was recruited for the most difficult engagement of his life: ministering to the twenty-one Nazis leaders awaiting trial at Nuremburg. Based on scrupulous research and first-hand accounts, including interviews with still-living participants and featuring sixteen pages of black-and-white photos, Mission at Nuremberg takes us inside the Nuremburg Palace of Justice, into the cells of the accused and the courtroom where they faced their crimes. As the drama leading to the court’s final judgments unfolds, Tim Townsend brings to life the developing relationship between Gerecke and Hermann Georing, Albert Speer, Wilhelm Keitel, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and other imprisoned Nazis as they awaited trial. Powerful and harrowing, Mission at Nuremberg offers a fresh look at one most horrifying times in human history, probing difficult spiritual and ethical issues that continue to hold meaning, forcing us to confront the ultimate moral question: Are some men so evil they are beyond redemption?
Download or read book The Guardians of Concepts written by Martina Steber and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2023-01-13 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1945, what ‘conservative’ means has troubled intellectuals, politicians and parties in the United Kingdom and West Germany. In Britain conservatism was an accepted term of the political vocabulary, denoting a particular tradition of political thought and practice. In West Germany, by contrast, conservatism was a difficult concept for the young democracy to swallow. It carried a heavy antiliberal and antidemocratic burden and led people to question whether there was a place for conservatism within democratic culture after all. The Guardians of Concepts scrutinizes the debates about conservatism in the UK and the Federal Republic of Germany from the late 1940s to the early 1980s. Informed by historical semantics, it conceives of conservatism as a flexible linguistic structure, and shows the importance of language for the self-understanding of many conservatives, who not by chance, have regarded themselves as the guardians of concepts. The intense national and transnational debates about the meaning of conservatism had far-reaching consequences and continue to influence politics today.

Download or read book A Nazi Past written by David A. Messenger and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of World War II, historians and psychologists have investigated the factors that motivated Germans to become Nazis before and during the war. While most studies have focused on the high-level figures who were tried at Nuremberg, much less is known about the hundreds of SS members, party functionaries, and intelligence agents who quietly navigated the transition to postwar life and successfully assimilated into a changed society after the war ended. In A Nazi Past, German and American scholars examine the lives and careers of men like Hans Globke—who not only escaped punishment for his prominent involvement in formulating the Third Reich's anti-Semitic legislation, but also forged a successful new political career. They also consider the story of Gestapo employee Gertrud Slottke, who exhibited high productivity and ambition in sending Dutch Jews to Auschwitz but eluded trial for fifteen years. Additionally, the contributors explore how a network of Nazi spies and diplomats who recast their identities in Franco's Spain, far from the denazification proceedings in Germany. Previous studies have emphasized how former Nazis hid or downplayed their wartime affiliations and actions as they struggled to invent a new life for themselves after 1945, but this fascinating work shows that many of these individuals actively used their pasts to recast themselves in a democratic, Cold War setting. Based on extensive archival research as well as recently declassified US intelligence, A Nazi Past contributes greatly to our understanding of the postwar politics of memory.
