Download or read book Freedom of the Press in the German Republic 1918 1933 Classic Reprint written by Peter J. Fliess and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freedom of the Press in the German Republic, 1918-1933 The story of the German press and its freedom in relation to the government of the Weimar republic is revealed less by a series of dramatic events than by the relatively monotonous routine of everyday contacts. Like all phases and facets of history, the exper iences of the German press during the period under consideration are of course not lacking in landmarks bringing out in bold relief trends and developments which otherwise could be perceived only with diffi culty. Examples are the cases of the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, of Fechenbach, of the Weltbiihne and Das Andere Deutschland (all of which are discussed subsequently), as well as such specific events as the waves of assassination and defamation, in which the role of the nationalist press as one of the chief gravediggers of the republic forces itself even upon the most sympathetic observer. However, any exaggerated reliance on such high lights can result in nothing but a distorted picture. A realistic appraisal will have to depend to a greater extent on the plight of the press in its day-to day relations with the government. Matters such as frequency and length of suppression of newspapers, the nature of administrative and judicial punishment, the degree of intimidation, the motivations of the various agencies of the government have to be ascertained. The dramatic key cases bear upon such questions only tangentially. Unhappily, the necessary information on the day-to-day routine relations between government and press frequently is not avail able. Much of the obscurity is due to the extensive administrative jurisdiction to which the press was subjected as well as to the federal devolution of authority. However, even judicial decisions in press cases are often shrouded in mystery. Only rarely were such decisions published, and then only in meager excerpts not normally revealing the identity of the newspapers nvolved. The story of the German press can therefore be gathered only through careful extraction from reliable newspapers, Reichs tag debates on interpellations and legislation, texts of laws and agrees, and scholarly discussions. Additional illustrative ma terial could be obtained from the partisan press of the left and of the right. However, their doubtful reliability made it appear in advisable to include them among the sources for this study. In spite of these methodological difficulties the condition of the press in the Weimar republic is clear and unequivocal. So, equally, is the predicament of the republican government in defending its existence against a subversive press in the face of institutional impediments.

Download or read book My Four Years in Germany Classic Reprint written by James W. Gerard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Four Years in Germany I am writing what should have been the last chapter as the foreword of this series of articles, because I want to bring home to our people the gravity of the situation; because I want to tell them that the military and naval power of the German Empire is unbroken; that of the twelve million men whom the Kaiser has called to the colours but one million, five hundred thousand have been killed, five hundred thousand permanently disabled, not more than five hundred thousand are prisoners of war, and about five hundred thousand constitute the number of wounded or those on the sick list of each day, leaving at all times about nine million effectives under arms. I state these figures because Americans do not grasp either the magnitude or the importance of this war. Perhaps the statement that over five million prisoners of war are held in the various countries will bring home to Americans the enormous mass of men engaged. There have been no great losses in the German navy, and any losses of ships have been compensated for by the building of new ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our War With Germany: A History The participation of the United States in the great war is one of the rare historical events that give direction to the prog ress of the world. The self-governing states of Europe were struggling for life and the greatest republic in the world went to their assistance at the critical moment. A century ago the American people first proved that republican government can succeed in a first rate nation. It was as fitting as essential that they should have interfered to preserve it in time of danger. It is in this sense that the future historian will make up his opinion of our part in the great struggle. When the passions of the day subside, the American people will come to this view of the subject. They will not ask very closely about the errors committed in the conduct of the war, but they will wish to know what the world crisis was, how the nation as a nation met it, and how the people now living adjusted themselves to the problems growing out of the war when it was won.

Download or read book The Awakening of the German People Classic Reprint written by Otfried Nippold and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Awakening of the German People Professor Otfried Nippold, the author of this pamphlet, was born in 1864, the son of a professor at the University of Jena. In the course of a varied life, he has held office under the Ministry of Justice in the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar, he has taught International and Commercial Law at Tokio, and he has had experience of the diplomatic service under the German Foreign Office, being resident for some time in London. In more recent years he has devoted himself to the academic life, teaching International Law in the University of Berne. Professor Nippold is a writer of great eminence and authority on the subject with which his name is connected. His first important work, Der Volkerrecht-liche Vertrag, appeared as long ago as 1894; his greatest work in recent years has centred round the Second Hague Conference. In Great Britain, however, Professor Nippold is, no doubt, most widely known as the author of Der Deutsche Chauvinismus, a book which was published at Stuttgart in 1913. Apart from a few pages of commentary, this volume consists almost exclusively of extracts from the German Press, reports of meetings of various organisations, and selections from chauvinistic addresses.

Download or read book The Moral Conquest of Germany Classic Reprint written by Emil Ludwig and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moral Conquest of Germany Knowledge of the German character might have prevented World War II. This is why in this moment of decision of world importance I once more try to delineate the German national - character as a warning not to try "democracy" in Germany before a period of education. It is both wrong and dangerous to accept a political distinction between Nazis and Germans, as German propaganda would have it. This book offers a case for the guilt of the German nation. I have attempted before to present the two sides of the German character: in three studies on Bismarck, the Kaiser, and Hindenburg, and in my biographies of Goethe and Beethoven. These two sides I combined in my book The Germans: Double History of a Nation. Its publication was three years ahead of public opinion in this country; in 1941 the German problem was hardly recognized as such. In England, where the upper classes had come to know the Germans well by the bombs from above and by Lord Vansittart's excellent writings from within - the book became much more popular. A bit of the material in that book has meanwhile found its way into writings of other authors, such as Creel, Nizer, Schwarzschild from whom I am now borrowing some details. I have come forward with practical suggestions on the postwar treatment of Germany in lectures and broadcasts, in articles and pamphlets, before the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, and before the Amg at Charlottesville. Many of these ideas were widely contested at the time of their appearance, but today most of them have been accepted.

Download or read book The Weimar Republic Sourcebook written by Anton Kaes and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 830 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A laboratory for competing visions of modernity, the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) continues to haunt the imagination of the twentieth century. Its political and cultural lessons retain uncanny relevance for all who seek to understand the tensions and possibilities of our age. The Weimar Republic Sourcebook represents the most comprehensive documentation of Weimar culture, history, and politics assembled in any language. It invites a wide community of readers to discover the richness and complexity of the turbulent years in Germany before Hitler's rise to power. Drawing from such primary sources as magazines, newspapers, manifestoes, and official documents (many unknown even to specialists and most never before available in English), this book challenges the traditional boundaries between politics, culture, and social life. Its thirty chapters explore Germany's complex relationship to democracy, ideologies of "reactionary modernism," the rise of the "New Woman," Bauhaus architecture, the impact of mass media, the literary life, the tradition of cabaret and urban entertainment, and the situation of Jews, intellectuals, and workers before and during the emergence of fascism. While devoting much attention to the Republic's varied artistic and intellectual achievements (the Frankfurt School, political theater, twelve-tone music, cultural criticism, photomontage, and urban planning), the book is unique for its inclusion of many lesser-known materials on popular culture, consumerism, body culture, drugs, criminality, and sexuality; it also contains a timetable of major political events, an extensive bibliography, and capsule biographies. This will be a major resource and reference work for students and scholars in history; art; architecture; literature; social and political thought; and cultural, film, German, and women's studies.

Download or read book The Weimar Republic written by Detlev Peukert and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1993-09 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About half of Kolb's compact book is devoted to a "Historical Survey," chronologically divided at the conventional watersheds of 1923-24 and 1929-30. A briefer second part, a historiographical essay in seven topical chapters, is followed by a seven-page chronology, a 676-item classified and topical bibliography, and an index. The bibliography, updated to February 1987, includes some English-language titles not in the original German edition, and is a list of tremendous value. Frequent references to individual entries (as well as to some works not found there) tie the bibliography to the historiographical essay, which is characterized by fair and judicious appraisal of interpretations of the period, even when Kolb clearly disagrees. There is a chapter on the revolution of 1918 and its aftermath in the first section, and one on art and mass culture in the second; each section of the survey also has one chapter focusing on foreign policy, and one on domestic developments.

Download or read book Culturgeschichtliche Novellen written by W. H. Riehl and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.

This book was released on 2019-02 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany From the Earliest Period, Vol. 2 of 4 The touching appeals of the emperor to his son being disregarded, he put himself at the head of his troops and marched against him. The cities remained faithful to their allegiance, and closed their gates against the rebellious prince, with the exception of Nuremberg, which was be trayed to him by the Jews, and almost entirely destroyed. Both armies met not far from Ratisbon, and the emperor, discovering that he was betrayed by his own followers, fled, perhaps too hastily, in the sorrow of his heart. He had still numerous adherents in the Rhine country, and his son, find ing force unavailing, attempted by cunning to oblige him voluntarily to abdicate the throne, and proposed a confer ence at Coblentz. The emperor came; but struck to the heart at the sight of his ungrateful child, flung himself at his feet, exclaiming, My son, my son, if I am to be pun ished by God for my sins, at least stain not thine honor, for it is unseemly in a son to sit in judgment over his father's sins. The prince, with assumed remorse, entreated his forgiveness, and, under pretense of accompanying him to the diet at Mayence, found means to separate him from his attendants, and to shut him up at Bingen, where he, was re quired by the archbishops of Mayence and of Cologne, and the bishop of Worms, to give up the crown jewels. The aged emperor, finding his entreaties vain, placed the jewels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
