This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieses Buch ist mit viel Freude und Abenteuerlust entstanden, beides springt auf den Leser über. Eine Familie sucht sich selber und entdeckt bei ihren regelmäßigen Zusammenkünften, zur Vorbereitung eines großen Familientreffens, die interessante Seite der Vergangenheit. Die persönlichen Geschichten aus dem Leben der Nachkommenschaft der Familie Wiesheu. Einfache Leute vom heutigen Standpunkt aus betrachtet, damals fleißige und in gewisser Weise stolze Bauern und deren Nachfahren, die ihren Besitz wertschätzten und Aufgaben und Pflichterfüllung über ihre eigenen Bedürfnisse stellten. Aus den Geschichten spricht eine gewisse Bescheidenheit, die jeder Ehrlichkeit zu Grunde liegt. Diese Authentizität ist es, die dem Buch Glaubwürdigkeit verleiht und mitten aus dem Leben der Landbevölkerung des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts ein Zeitzeugnis abgibt. Ein Buch für Menschen, mit Liebe zu ihrer Heimat und Freude am Entdecken der eigenen Vergangenheit. Einige der Geschichten sind auch ins Französische und Englische übersetzt.

Book Those Who Forget

Download or read book Those Who Forget written by Geraldine Schwarz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[Makes] the very convincing case that, until and unless there is a full accounting for what happened with Donald Trump, 2020 is not over and never will be.” —The New Yorker “Riveting…we can never be reminded too often to never forget.” —The Wall Street Journal Journalist Géraldine Schwarz’s astonishing memoir of her German and French grandparents’ lives during World War II “also serves as a perceptive look at the current rise of far-right nationalism throughout Europe and the US” (Publishers Weekly). During World War II, Géraldine Schwarz’s German grandparents were neither heroes nor villains; they were merely Mitlaüfer—those who followed the current. Once the war ended, they wanted to bury the past under the wreckage of the Third Reich. Decades later, while delving through filing cabinets in the basement of their apartment building in Mannheim, Schwarz discovers that in 1938, her paternal grandfather Karl took advantage of Nazi policies to buy a business from a Jewish family for a low price. She finds letters from the only survivor of this family (all the others perished in Auschwitz), demanding reparations. But Karl Schwarz refused to acknowledge his responsibility. Géraldine starts to question the past: How guilty were her grandparents? What makes us complicit? On her mother’s side, she investigates the role of her French grandfather, a policeman in Vichy. Weaving together the threads of three generations of her family story with Europe’s process of post-war reckoning, Schwarz explores how millions were seduced by ideology, overcome by a fog of denial after the war, and, in Germany at least, eventually managed to transform collective guilt into democratic responsibility. She asks: How can nations learn from history? And she observes that countries that avoid confronting the past are especially vulnerable to extremism. Searing and unforgettable, Those Who Forget “deserves to be read and discussed widely...this is Schwarz’s invaluable warning” (The Washington Post Book Review).

Book Signal   Christian Boltanski

Download or read book Signal Christian Boltanski written by Bernhard Jussen and published by Wallstein Verlag. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Weitere Angaben Inhalt: Boltanskis Werk und sein Umgang mit dem Holocaust stellt eine Herausforderung auch an Disziplinen jenseits der Kunstwissenschaft dar. Christian Boltanski gehört zu den international renommiertesten Gegenwartskünstlern. Sein künstlerischer Umgang insbesondere mit der Erinnerung an den Holocaust hat diesen Ruf weit über die Kunstwelt hinaus begründet. In einer geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschungssituation, in der Erinnerungskulturen und Phänomene des kulturellen Gedächtnisses im Zentrum des Interesses stehen, sind seine Beiträge eine Herausforderung auch für Disziplinen jenseits der Kunstwissenschaft. Das Max-Planck-Institut für Geschichte in Göttingen hat Christian Boltanski eingeladen, um an seinem Werk Leistungen und Grenzen künstlerischer Arbeit am kulturellen Gedächtnis auszuloten - im Vergleich zur wissenschaftlichen Arbeit an diesem Gedächtnis. Christian Boltanski hat eine Arbeit beigetragen, die hier erstmals publiziert wird. Sie bedient sich einzelner Blätter aus der Zeitschrift Signal, die von 1940 bis 1945 von der deutschen Wehrmacht produziert und nur im Ausland verkauft wurde. Das seinerzeit unter (bild-)journalistischen Gesichtspunkten bahnbrechende Produkt wurde allein in den ersten drei Jahren in mehr als hundert Millionen Exemplaren und bis zu zwanzig Sprachen im Ausland verkauft. Boltanski hat aus zwanzig Heften des Signal jeweils einen farbigen Doppelaufschlag herausgenommen. Das Zusammentreffen der auf der linken und der rechten Seite des Blattes gedruckten Bilder ist zwar rein drucktechnisch bedingt, aber doch zugleich die Botschaft der Zeitung: Stets stehen >überlegene Wehrtechnik und überlegene

Book Families  History And Social Change

Download or read book Families History And Social Change written by Tamara K Hareven and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the prevailing myths about the American family is that there once existed a harmonious family with three generations living together, and that this "ideal" family broke down under the impact of urbanization and industralization. The essays in this volume challenge this myth and provide dramatic revisions of simplistic notions about change in the American family. Based on detailed research in a variety of sources, including extensive oral history interviews of ordinary people, these essays examine major changes in family life, dispel myths about the past, and offer new directions in research and interpretation. The essays cover a wide spectrum of issues and topics, ranging from the organization of the family and household, to the networks available to children as they grow up, to the role of the family in the process of industralization, to the division of labor in the family along gender lines, and to the relations between the generations in the later years of life. While discussing family relations in the past and revising prevailing notions of social change, these interdisciplinary essays also provide important perspectives on the present.
