This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans un article du Times du 13 avril 1998 consacré à Hitler, Elie Wiesel se demande comment expliquer «le succès de sa démagogie de bas étage auprès d'un peuple si fier d'avoir hérité du génie d'un Goethe ou d'un Kant». Cette question n'est pas nouvelle : les élites britanniques se la posaient déjà il y a soixante ans, à la suite de l'un de leurs grands diplomates, Lord Vansittart, qui voyait en Hitler l'aboutissement du mal que portait en lui le Germain depuis l'Antiquité. C'est précisément l'objet du présent recueil que d'analyser les prises de position vis-à-vis de l'Allemand et du Nazi chez les Britanniques en guerre, mais aussi les prolongements actuels de ce débat sans cesse relancé depuis lors, comme le montrent les propos d'Elie Wiesel.
Download or read book Orderly and Humane written by R. M. Douglas and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning history of 12 million German-speaking civilians in Europe who were driven from their homes after WWII: “a major achievement” (New Republic). Immediately after the Second World War, the victorious Allies authorized the forced relocation of ethnic Germans from their homes across central and southern Europe to Germany. The numbers were almost unimaginable: between 12 and 14 million civilians, most of them women and children. And the losses were horrifying: at least five hundred thousand people, and perhaps many more, died while detained in former concentration camps, locked in trains, or after arriving in Germany malnourished, and homeless. In this authoritative and objective account, historian R.M. Douglas examines an aspect of European history that few have wished to confront, exploring how the forced migrations were conceived, planned, and executed, and how their legacy reverberates throughout central Europe today. The first comprehensive history of this immense manmade catastrophe, Orderly and Humane is an important study of the largest recorded episode of what we now call "ethnic cleansing." It may also be the most significant untold story of the World War II.
Download or read book La ville libre de Dantzig 1919 1939 written by DAVID KRUPKA and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-06-30 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A la fin de la première guerre mondiale, la situation politique de l'Europe est du monde est totalement transformée en raison des modifications de frontières de la création de nouveaux états et de la naissance de la Société des nations. Le Traité de Versailles a l'ambition de mettre en place un nouvel ordre mondial assurant la paix et punissant l'Allemagne. Le traité de Versailles octroie aussi à la Pologne un accès à la mer Baltique à travers la Prusse. Ainsi, un « couloir » polonais de cinquante kilomètres rompt la continuité territoriale de l'Allemagne. Cette neutralisation se formalise sous le statut de ville libre sous protection de la Société des Nations. Toutefois, cette construction politique ne peut résister aux passions de son temps.
Download or read book Le Mythe Du Sale Boche written by Benton L. Bradberry and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comme l’indique le titre, Le mythe du sale boche, les Allemands ne sont pas les ultimes « vilains » de l’histoire. Ils ne sont pas non plus, comme le veut la version officielle, les saboteurs de la paix européenne et la cause des deux Guerres mondiales du siècle dernier. Les atrocités qu’ils auraient soi-disant perpétrées durant ces conflits armés furent inventées de toute pièce par la propagande alliée afin d’obtenir l'appui de l'opinion publique. La propagande de la Shoah, qui est apparue après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, a par ailleurs grandement contribué à consolider cette haine du « sale boche ». Mais cette version officielle de l’histoire est-elle véridique ? L'Allemagne est-elle réellement l'incarnation du mal absolu ? Dans ce livre, l'auteur brosse un tableau différent. Il explique en effet que l'Allemagne n'était la cause ni de la Première ni de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, mais dans les deux cas, la victime de l’agression des alliés. L'instabilité engendrée par la guerre 14-18 a permis à la révolution bolchévique russe de 1917 d’éclater, ce qui a apporté au monde le communisme. Or, Hitler et l'Allemagne ont tout de suite compris que le communisme international, de sa base en Union soviétique, était une menace existentielle non seulement pour l'Occident, mais pour toute la civilisation chrétienne. L'Allemagne hitlérienne a dès lors amorcé une lutte à mort contre cette idéologie sanguinaire. Loin d'être le saboteur de la paix européenne, l'Allemagne, en s’érigeant en rempart, a donc empêché la révolution bolchévique de s’étendre à toute l'Europe. Il est dommage que les alliés n'aient pas vu la Russie communiste sous le même jour que l’Allemagne. Cette alliance entre les pays occidentaux et le communisme a eu des conséquences désastreuses sur la civilisation occidentale chrétienne. L'auteur se dit convaincu que la France, la Grande-Bretagne et les États-Unis se sont battus du mauvais côté.

Download or read book Would You Have Shouted Heil Hitler written by François Roux and published by Max Milo. This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 887 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If a deep and lasting crisis shook our democracies, as happened to German society from 1929 to 1933, would we be able to resist the fascist temptation? On January 31, 1933, thirty-two million Germans, who had not voted Nazi woke up caught in the trap of dictatorship. How did they behave under the new power? How did they react to the suppression of freedoms, to the recruitment, to the anti-Semitic persecutions, to the march towards war? What compromises were necessary to survive? Was it possible not to collaborate with the Third Reich? Was it possible to resist it, and how? By comparing more than two hundred testimonies with the works of the greatest historians of this period, François Roux carries out a panoramic study of the history of Nazism and the Germans, from 1918 to 1946. He also forces us to challenge our preconceived notions—yes, thousands of Germans died resisting Hitler's Reich, and, no, the majority of them did not want this regime. By making us face the choices they had to make, this book gives us an intimate, almost physical understanding of the relationship between dictatorship and its subjects, and tells us a story that could one day be our own. François Roux has studied cognitive psychology. For the past twelve years, he has been exploring the mechanisms of submission and resistance of individuals and groups in situations of extreme duress. A regular contributor to the history magazine Gavroche, François Roux has published La Grande guerre inconnue ; les poilus contre l'armée française (Ed. Max Chaleil, 2006). Since 2007 he has been working as a consultant in the field of organization and management for the professional branch of the book trade.

Download or read book Approaches to Teaching the Works of Primo Levi written by Nicholas Patruno and published by Modern Language Association. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primo Levi, Holocaust survivor and renowned memoirist, is one of the most widely read writers of post-World War II Italy. His works are characterized by the lean, dispassionate eloquence with which he approaches his experience of incarceration in Auschwitz. His memoirs--as well as his poetry and fiction and his many interviews--are often taught in several fields, including Jewish studies and Holocaust studies, comparative literature, and Italian language and literature, and can enrich the study of history, psychology, and philosophy. The first part of this volume provides instructors with an overview of the available editions, anthologies, and translations of Levi's work and identifies other useful classroom aids, such as films, music, and online resources. In the second part, contributors describe different approaches to teaching Levi's work. Some, in presenting Survival in Auschwitz, The Reawakening, and The Drowned and the Saved, look at the place of style in Holocaust testimony and the reliability of memory in autobiography. Others focus on questions of translation, complicated by the untranslatable in the language and experiences of the concentration camps, or on how Levi incorporates his background as a chemist into his writing, most clearly in The Periodic Table.

Download or read book War and the Cultural Construction of Identities in Britain written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British have been involved in numerous wars since the Middle Ages. Many, if not all, of these wars have been re-constructed in historical accounts, in the media and in the arts, and have thus kept the nation's cultural memory of its wars alive. Wars have influenced the cultural construction and reconstruction not only of national identities in Britain; personal, communal, gender and ethnic identities have also been established, shaped, reinterpreted and questioned in times of war and through its representations. Coming from Literary, Film and Cultural Studies, History and Art History, the contributions in this multidisciplinary volume explore how different cultural communities in the British Isles have envisaged war and its significance for various aspects of identity-formation, from the Middle Ages through to the 20th century.
