The White Rose (Die Wei e Rose) stretched far beyond Munich, but at its heart were six individuals: students Hans Scholl (1918-1943), and Sophie Scholl (1912-1943), who were brother and sister, Christoph Probst (1919-1943), Alexander Schmorell (1917-1943), and Willi Graf (1918-1943), and Professor Kurt Huber (1893-1943).
Between 1942 and 1943 the group wrote and disseminated six pamphlets calling on the German people to resist Nazism. On 18 February 1943 Hans and Sophie Scholl took copies of the sixth pamphlet to the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich and deposited them around the atrium at the entrance of the main university building. They were spotted by a caretaker and detained. Their arrest followed, and on 22 February Hans and Sophie Scholl and Christoph Probst were sentenced to death and executed by guillotine just hours after the conclusion of their trial. Alexander Schmorell, Kurt Huber, and Willi Graf were subsequently arrested, tried, and sentenced to death on 19 April. Schmorell and Huber were executed three months later, on 13 July; Graf was executed on 12 October 1943.
This volume includes facsimiles of the pamphlets and transcriptions of the German alongside a new English translation. While there are many versions of the pamphlets in English, the translations included here are the result of a collaborative process (as is true of the original pamphlets) and were undertaken by undergraduate students at the University of Oxford as part of The White Rose Project, a research and outreach initiative telling the story of the White Rose in the UK. The student translators outline their approach in a Translators' Introduction.
In addition to the pamphlets, this volume presents five essays about the White Rose which explore in different ways influences on the group, and the influence they had on post-war German politics and culture. These essays are intended to offer short introductions to those for whom the White Rose is a new subject, and to provide fresh perspectives for those already familiar with the history. One of the most persistent questions asked about the members of the White Rose is: just what motivated them to resist Nazism? In 'At the Heart of the White Rose - Cultural and Religious Influences on the Munich Students' Paul Shrimpton explores the philosophical, religious, and literary influences on the group. Jakob Knab, in his essay 'Die Wei e Rose: Freedom of Conscience over Totalitarian Conformity', traces Hans Scholl's journey from Hitler Youth leader to spearhead of the resistance, examining the political and cultural encounters that lead him on this journey. In '"Deutsche Hörer " News of the White Rose on the BBC German Service', Emily Oliver examines the influence the White Rose may have had during the war by setting out news of the White Rose broadcast on the BBC German Service. Paul Yowell examines Sophie Scholl's interrogation by the Gestapo agent Robert Mohr as dramatized in Marc Rothemund's 2005 film Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage (Sophie Scholl - The Final Days, 2005). Finally, in 'Marc Rothemund's Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage (2005)', Elizabeth M. Ward explores the portrayal of resistance and the figure of Sophie Scholl in Rothemund's Sophie Scholl -- The Final Days. Questions are often asked about the extent to which the White Rose had an 'impact'. There has been criticism of their youthful impetuosity; some have questioned how much concrete change they really achieved. Hildegard Kronawitter, of the White Rose Foundation in Munich, addresses these points in her foreword to this book. This volume also includes the annotated catalogue for the exhibition 'The White Rose: Reading, Writing, Resistance' held at the Taylor Institution Library at the University of Oxford in October and November 2018.

Описание: The Great War toppled four empires, cost the world 24 million dead, and sowed the seeds of another worldwide conflict 20 years later. This is the only book in the English language to offer comprehensive coverage of how Germany and Austria-Hungary, two of the key belligerents, conducted the war and what defeat meant to them. This new edition has been thoroughly updated throughout, including new developments in the historiography and, in particular, addressing new work on the cultural history of the war. This edition also includes: - New material on the domestic front, covering Austria-Hungary's internal political frictions and ethnic fissures - More on Austria-Hungary and Germany's position within the wider geopolitical framework - Increased coverage of the Eastern front The First World War: Germany and Austria-Hungary, 1914-1918 offers an authoritative and well-researched survey of the role of the Central powers that will be an invaluable text for all those studying the First World War and the development of modern warfare.
Germany's rise to power before World War I from a Chinese persective, and the geopolitical lessons for today.
A series of solemn anniversary events have marked the centenary of World War I. Could history repeat itself in today's geopolitics? Now, as then, a land power with a growing economy and a maritime power with global commitments are the two leading states in the international system. Most ominously, the outbreak of war in 1914 is a stark reminder that nations cannot rely on economic interdependence and ongoing diplomacy to keep the peace.
In Fragile Rise, Xu Qiyu offers a Chinese perspective on the course of German grand strategy in the decades before World War I. Xu shows how Germany's diplomatic blunders turned its growing power into a liability instead of an asset. Bismarck's successors provoked tension and conflict with the other European great powers. Germany's attempts to build a powerful navy alienated Britain. Fearing an assertive Germany, France and Russia formed an alliance, leaving the declining Austro-Hungarian Empire as Germany's only major ally.
Xu's account demonstrates that better strategy and statesmanship could have made a difference -- for Germany and Europe. His analysis offers important lessons for the leaders of China and other countries. Fragile Rise reminds us that the emergence of a new great power creates risks that can be managed only by adroit diplomats, including the leaders of the emerging power. In the twenty-first century, another great war may not be inevitable. Heeding the lessons of Fragile Rise could make it even less likely.

Описание: The battlefield of 17th Century Europe On land, the Thirty Years War was fought primarily in Germany. It was one of the most destructive conflicts Europe has experienced, as great areas were laid waste by warfare and by foraging armies. It was a religious war between Catholics and Protestants, but inevitably the political interests of those embroiled within it played no small part. The French Bourbons, the Hapsburgs and the emergent Swedish empire clashed in a series of bloody conflicts in the heart of the continent which are detailed and analysed within this book. As the century drew to a close a new conflict impacted upon the region. The War of the Spanish Succession drew new protagonists onto the battlefield. Perhaps most notable among them was one of Britain's most famous soldiers-John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough. His campaign and victory at Blenheim-an example of military genius-concludes this fascinating book.

Описание: The difference between French and German definitions of citizenship is instructive-and, for immigrants from North Africa, Turkey, and Eastern Europe, decisive. Brubaker shows how this difference-between the territorial basis of the French citizenry and German emphasis on blood descent-was shaped by sharply differing understandings of nationhood.
Автор: Henry Patrick Название: Jewish Resistance Against the Nazis ISBN: 0813225892 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780813225890 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 44350.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This volume puts to rest the myth that the Jews went passively to the slaughter like sheep. Indeed Jews resisted in every Nazi-occupied country in the forests, the ghettos, and the concentration camps. The essays presented here consider Jewish resistance to be resistance by Jewish persons in specifically Jewish groups, or by Jewish persons working within non-Jewish organisations. Resistance could be armed revolt; flight; the rescue of targeted individuals by concealment in non- Jewish homes, farms, and institutions; or by the smuggling of Jews into countries where Jews were not objects of Nazi persecution. Other forms of resistance include every act that Jewish people carried out to fight against the dehumanising agenda of the Nazis acts such as smuggling food, clothing, and medicine into the ghettos, putting on plays, reading poetry, organising orchestras and art exhibits, forming schools, leaving diaries, and praying. These attempts to remain physically, intellectually, culturally, morally, and theologically alive constituted resistance to Nazi oppression, which was designed to demolish individuals, destroy their soul, and obliterate their desire to live.The contributors are among the most renowned Holocaust authorities in Israel, Europe, Canada, and the United States. The essays treat Jewish resistance in France, Belgium, Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, the Yishuv, Germany, Austria, Croatia, Poland, Romania, the Ukraine, Belarus, Slovakia, and Hungary. Some essays describe children’s resistance and music as resistance. The authors explain why different types of resistance occurred in some places but not in others and how factors such as terrain played a vital role in why one type of resistance took place in some areas but was impossible elsewhere. The importance of chronology and the progress of the war are also considered. This comprehensive handbook will serve as an indispensable guide for Holocaust scholars and general readers.
