(2021) Zarusky, Jürgen; Schrafstetter, Susanna; Schlemmer, Thomas

The continuity of Nazi elites in politics, society, economy, and culture is a central problem in the post-1945 history Germany and Austria, and forms the focus of the fifth volume of the German Yearbook of Contemporary History. At the heart of the volume are case studies of four individuals: Kurt Ziesel, Otto Brunner, Anton Reinthaller, and Max Frauendorfer. These cases are examined with reference to several central, overarching themes, including the diverse strategies for rehabilitation pursued by highly incriminated individuals after 1945, the continuity of ideas and mentalities that had figured into Nazism, and the social and political limits to the reintegration of former Nazis in in postwar Germany and Austria.

Childhood during war and genocide

(2024) Michlic, Joanna Beata; Ullrich, Anna; von Saal, Yuliya

EHS Volume 5 presents child-oriented research approaches by scholars from the fields of Holocaust Studies, Genocide Studies, and Second World War History. The authors highlight key concepts of Childhood Studies, arguing that children are historical actors with their own ideas, identity-forming experiences, and agency. The contributions demonstrate the importance of children`s accounts of war and postwar experiences for deeper understanding of the history of war and society in the twentieth century. The volume showcases a variety of children`s voices including child survivors of the Armenian Genocide, Jewish child survivors of the Holocaust, non-Jewish Slavic children, and war children of the Second World War by utilising testimonies from lesser-known archival and oral history collections.
