The Tigerbelles tells the epic story of the 1960 Tennessee State University all-Black women's track team, which found Olympic glory at the 1960 games in Rome. The author tells a story of desire, success and failure--of beating the odds--against the backdrop of a changing America, but tells it in an intimate way. Readers will come to know the individuals' unique struggles and triumphs, while also understanding how these dreams emerged and solidified just as the country was struggling to leave the Jim Crow era behind. Coach Edward Temple pushed each team member to the limit and saw the possibilities in them that they often did not see themselves. The elite group of talent included Wilma Rudolph, Barbara Jones, Lucinda Williams, Martha Hudson, Willye B. White and Shirley Crowder: women who once were and should still be known world-wide. Ultimately the team's drive was for more than medals: Coach Temple and the Tigerbelles wanted to change the world's perception of what a group of young Black women in the Jim Crow south were capable of. Tigerbelles is a multi-layered inspirational tale of triumph over adversity. Based on memoirs and interviews with surviving team members, including Coach Temple, this is the story of an impossible dream come true.

This revised and updated version of Chris Webb¿s comprehensive 2016 book covers the development and history of the first death camp in Poland within the Aktion Reinhardt mass murder program. Webb outlines the construction of the death camp in Poland by the National Socialists and provides a comprehensive account of who built the death camp and how the mass murder was perfected by Christian Wirth, the first Commandant, who was well versed in the mass murder by gas, from his days in the T4 Organization.

This includes the handful of survivors as well as a comprehensive record of the victims, Polish and Czech Jews, and those deported from the Reich to Belzec.The book also provides a detailed record of the leading figures of Aktion Reinhardt, including Odilo Globocnik, Christian Wirth, and Hermann Hofle, and members of the SS Garrison who served in Belzec. The biographies record their histories, what they did at Belzec, and their fates, where known.Also covered are the post-war testimonies, trials, and excavations.

Transit facilities and railway stations used for deportation have been rediscovered as central sites of the Shoah in recent years. Public memorials and monuments recall the deportation of the Jewish population to ghettos, annihilation camps, and sites of mass murder. What has long remained a desideratum is a comprehensive, comparative, and analytical overview of deportations from territories under control or influence of Nazi Germany. This volume aims to determine differences and commonalities in the organisation and implementation of deportations in Nazi-dominated Europe. It analyses the relationship between central switching points of the 'Final Solution' and local civilian, military and SS-Police authorities and investigates how Jewish organisations were forced to collaborate in the process of their own destruction. The present research examines the limited agency of Jewish Councils, the deportation of protected groups such as members of 'mixed families', the importance of citizenship, and the despotism of individual perpetrators.Contributions are based on the 2019 workshop Deportiert. Vergleichende Perspektiven auf die Organisation des Wegs in die Vernichtung, co-organised by the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies (VWI) and the Austrian Academy of Sciences

In 1908, George Hackenschmidt, the touring World Champion for the past 8 years, wrestled Frank Gotch, the American Heavyweight Champion. This match turned professional wrestling into a massive spectator sport for the first time. However, the controversial rematch three years later led fans to stay away for the next decade and hastened the transition to worked exhibitions instead of legitimate contests.

Die sozialistischen Staaten des östlichen Europas beobachteten die seit Ende der 1940er Jahre in der Bundesrepublik entstandenen Vertriebenenverbände und ihre politischen Aktivitäten aufmerksam und misstrauisch. Der Band nimmt erstmalig diese ,Feind- und Fremdbeobachtung' durch die Nachrichtendienste anhand verschiedener Fallbeispiele aus der DDR, Polen, der Tschechoslowakei, Ungarn, Rumänien und Jugoslawien in den Blick. Es wird untersucht, was die Geheimdienste über die Vertriebenenfunktionäre und ihre Vergangenheit wussten, und danach gefragt, wozu und wie diese Informationen gesammelt und genutzt wurden. Daneben geht es auch um die Rolle der in den sozialistischen Staaten verbliebenen Deutschen und der Aussiedler, die in die BRD kamen und ein Bindeglied zwischen Vertriebenen und ,alter Heimat' darstellten. Der Band leistet so einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erforschung der Wahrnehmung der Vertriebenenverbände in den sozialistischen Staaten, zur Arbeit der Sicherheitsdienste sowie zu den bilateralen Kontakten im ,Kalten Krieg'.

The Göttingen-based Sartorius family business during the Third Reich - an exemplary case of economic normality and adaptation to the regime.Established in 1870 by Florenz Sartorius as a precision mechanical workshop, the Sartorius Group today is a leading partner for biopharmaceutical research and the industry. The roots of the company's two current divisions can be traced back to the firm's early years, specifically the founding of the membrane filter company (Membranfilter-Gesellschaft m.b.H) in 1927. For the first time, Manfred Grieger examines the activities Sartorius and its entrepreneurs engaged in during the Nazi era. He reveals the relationship between the company and the government, as well as the actions of the leading players of the family-run business during the Nazi regime. In doing so, he also focuses on the question of succession within the family of entrepreneurs since the transition from the second to the third generation falls within this period.The author explores the changing role of the company in the wartime economy, the decline in civil-sector production and the increasing importance of manufacturing finished products at Sartorius for the armaments industry, as well as the employment of forced laborers. Moreover, he examines which influence the firm's key decisionmakers had on this development. Manfred Grieger also addresses the denazification process at management level, which sheds an exemplary light on the individual coming to terms with the past of economic elites, who experienced their own economic miracle in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Eines der wesentlichen Themen der Holocaust-Forschung ist die Frage nach dem Wissen der Zeitgenossen um die Verfolgung der Juden. Heinrich Wildner (1879-1957) - das zeigen seine Tagebücher der Jahre 1938 bis 1944 - wusste sehr viel. Der kaltgestellte, aber immer noch gut vernetzte ehemalige Spitzendiplomat liefert detaillierte Angaben zu Geschehnissen in Wien, zu Kriegs- und Frontereignissen, zum Verhalten vieler seiner ehemaligen Kollegen und Zeitgenossen aus Verwaltung und Politik, zu Gerüchten, zu Witzen, die im Umlauf waren. Auch die rasch eingetretene antideutschen Stimmung der Bevölkerung kommentierte er. Durchgängig finden sich Hinweise auf nationalsozialistischen Gräueltaten, auf Entrechtung, Verfolgung und Ermordung der jüdischen Bevölkerung in Österreich und in den besetzten Gebieten, auf die Enteignung von Klöstern und Großgrundbesitz von Adeligen, auf Kunstraub, Euthanasie, Zwangsarbeiter und Kriegsverbrechen.Die Texte zeigen von den Inhalten und Formulierungen her eine erschreckende Parallelität zum aktuellen Krieg in der Ukraine. Am 3. September 1939 gibt es den Eintrag: "Übrigens ein merkwürdiger Krieg, er wird gar nicht Krieg genannt, sondern Gewaltanwendung, die der Gewalt entgegengesetzt wird."

Kaum ein nationalsozialistisches Konzentrationslager hat nach 1945 eine derart vielfältige Literatur hervorgebracht wie Buchenwald. Zu ihr gehören ideologisch bis heute umstrittene Bücher wie der antifaschistische Beststeller Nackt unter Wölfen, die hochkanonischen Romane wie Semprúns oder Kertész, weniger bekannte Romane wie Adlers Das Panorama oder Ferdinand Peroutkas Wolke und Walzer, eine Flut vergessener ,grauer' Bericht-Literatur, frühe Versuche einer soziologischen, politischen oder psychologischen Deutung des Lagers. Ebenso wie das Konzentrationslager Buchenwald selbst ist diese Literatur international. Buchenwald versammelte Menschen aus fast allen Ländern Europas. Viele von ihnen wurden aus politischen oder rassischen Gründen deportiert, die nationale Grenzen überschritten. Die Literatur, die aus dem Lager hervorging, entstand also einerseits in nationalliterarischen Kontexten, bezog sich aber andererseits auf ein transnationales Ereignis, das sich mit transnationalen Fragen verband. Die Literatur des Lagers Buchenwald lässt sich daher nicht einfach nationalliterarisch einhegen. Trotzdem wies die Forschung in den letzten Jahren einen starken Zug zur nationalliterarischen Segmentierung auf, was auch dazu führte, dass sich die Wahrnehmung darüber hinaus nur auf sehr wenige kanonische Werke beschränkte. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Beiträge über die Literaturen, die an der europäischen Textgeschichte des Konzentrationslagers Buchenwald mitgeschrieben haben.

Polnische Juden stellten nicht nur die größte Gruppe unter den Opfern des Holocaust, in den 1930er Jahren hatte auch kein Land Europas mehr jüdische Einwohner und einen vielfältigeren jüdischen Printmarkt als Polen. Die Studie trägt zu einem Paradigmenwechsel bei, der diese Tatsachen stärker berücksichtigt, indem er den Blick von Ost nach West richtet und die polnischen Juden nicht länger als monolithischen Block passiver Opfer begreift, sondern als handelnde Subjekte, die den Antisemitismus, der sie bedrohte, aktiv bekämpften. Aufbauend auf einer Analyse der Berichterstattung der jiddischen Warschauer Tagespresse über Nationalsozialismus und Judenverfolgung legt sie die Netzwerke der jüdischen Zeitungsmacher frei und zeigt, wie diese sich trotz Zensur und Repression subversives Wissen aneigneten, es ihrem Publikum vermittelten und so die Vorstellungswelten polnischer Juden über Deutschland prägten sowie Protest- und Solidaritätsaktionen zugunsten der Verfolgten initiierten. Anne-Christin Klotz erhielt für dieses Buch den Marko Feingold-Preis in Jüdische Studien 2022 der Universität und des Landes Salzburg sowie den Irma-Rosenberg-Förderpreis für die Erforschung der Geschichte des Nationalsozialismus (Universität Wien). Die Arbeit wurde außerdem im Rahmen des wissenschaftlichen Förderpreises des Botschafters der Republik Polen mit dem 2. Platz ausgezeichnet.
