Mark Roseman Books

This is the first English-language collection of essays on modern German history with a generational theme. Responding to a recent shift in social historical writing away from an exclusive focus on class towards an interest in other 'imagined communities' of ethnicity, gender and generation, it addresses, first, the extraordinary power and persistence of a German tradition of youthful rebellion extending from the Sturm und Drang in the eighteenth century to the student revolts of 1968 and, second, the impact of the dramatic ruptures and discontinuities in modern German history on the formation and interaction of successive historical cohorts. Using a variety of different approaches, including literary and oral history, the collection pays particular attention to the way generational identities interacted with those of class and gender. The book adds to our understanding of generations, of the balance between continuity and discontinuity in modern German history, of the generational roots of National Socialism and the Hitler Youth generation's impact on East and West German society.

"At the outbreak of World War II, Marianne Strauss, the sheltered daughter of well-to-do German Jews, was an ordinary girl, concerned with her studies, friends, and romance. Almost overnight she was transformed into a woman of spirit and defiance, a celebrant of life acutely aware of the horrors around her, a fighter who, when the Gestapo came for her family, seized the moment and went underground. For two years, Marianne traveled across Nazi Germany with false papers, aided by a remarkable resistance organization, previously unknown and unsung."

The book delves into the chilling meeting held on January 20, 1942, where Nazi officers crafted the "Wannsee Protocol," marking a pivotal moment in the planning of the Holocaust. It explores the unsettling juxtaposition of a composed discussion about mass murder amidst ongoing atrocities. Mark Roseman investigates the motivations behind the conference, questioning the necessity of formalizing the genocide when hundreds of thousands had already been killed. Through this analysis, the book seeks to illuminate the mindset of those involved in this horrific chapter of history.

This volume recounts the events of the meeting in January 1942 at which Reinhard Heydrich created the plan that would let Europe "be combed through from East to West" for Jews which would put the Final Solution on a rational and industrial footing.

"The story of a remarkable but largely unsung group known as the Bund, League of Socialist Life, which went on to resist the Nazis during WWII, sheltering Jews and covertly sending letters and parcels into concentration camps, among other activities."-- Provided by publisher

Focusing on generational conflict, this collection of essays explores its origins and effects in modern German history from the eighteenth century through the 1960s student revolts. It highlights how generational issues often eclipsed class struggles and examines the roots of National Socialism, with an emphasis on gender dynamics and the evolution of East German society. This work deepens the understanding of generations as significant historical forces.

Mark Rose uses case studies to show how gender and gentility have influenced the self-presentation of authors in court and how the personal styles, public personas, and histories of novelists, dramatists, poets, photographers, and cartoonists have influenced the development of legal doctrine around issues of copyright.

"Wie erlebten deutsche Juden nach 1933 die wachsende Diskriminierung und Verfolgung durch das NS-Regime und wie reagierten sie darauf? Warum und mit welchen Mitteln versuchten nichtjüdische Deutsche, den Verfolgten zu helfen und sie vor der Deportation zu retten? Und wie erinnerten die Beteiligten - Opfer, Helfer, aber auch Täter - ihre Erfahrungen nach dem Ende des Dritten Reiches? Mit seinen Analysen der zeitgenössischen Akteursperspektiven eröffnet Mark Roseman einen unmittelbaren Zugang zu deren Handlungen und Wahrnehmungen, frei von Deutungen, die erst im Wissen um das Ausmaß der NS-Vernichtungspolitik entstanden. Er begleitet seine jüdischen Protagonisten auf dem Weg der schrittweisen Entrechtung und ihrer wachsenden Erkenntnis eines beinahe ausweglosen Überlebenskampfes; er beleuchtet auch die Motive derer, die sich der antisemitischen Politik des Regimes verweigerten und den Betroffenen zu helfen versuchten. Daneben zeigt er, wie und warum Erinnerungen an die Zeit der Verfolgung verändert und überformt wurden. In einem abschließenden Gespräch reflektiert Mark Roseman über seine wissenschaftliche Sozialisation und seine Zugänge zu einer integrierten Holocaust- und Gedächtnisgeschichte."--Page 4 of cover
