They realized (I soon found out) that they had little hope of bringing a big army through the Egyptian desert and making a successful campaign there. Their object was to immobilize a great force of British troops around the Canal, to keep the Mohammedan population in Palestine impressed with Turkish power, and to stir up religious unrest among the natives in Egypt. It must be admitted that in the first two of these purposes they have been successful.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Refugee crises are one of the gravest problems facing the modern world. This book explores the paradox of why countries such as Britain pride themselves on their past treatment of refugees yet are suspicious and hostile towards asylum seekers trying to gain entry. It explores the contemporary treatment and representation of refugees ranging from the Huguenots in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries through to the many groups that have gained entry more recently. Was the treatment of refugees such as Jews escaping Tsarist and later Nazi persecution as welcoming as politicians and others now make out? Why have some groups been remembered positively, whilst others have been forgotten? Remembering refugees plays particular attention to how historians and those in the heritage industry have dealt with the refugee presence. By adopting an original and critical framework, it asks why a variety of academic disciplines, as well as politicians, the media and the general public, have difficulty with refugees. A richly textured book that utilizes a huge range of sources from parliamentary debates through to novels, films and autobiographical writing, it argues that the current panic about refugees and asylum seekers says more about the moral failings of contemporary society than it does about those fleeing persecution.

Die Untersuchung erhellt die wiederkehrenden Vorgehensweisen und Ursachen des Genozids. Erreicht wurde dies durch Urteilsanalysen von acht Verfahren zu 25 Angeklagten vor internationalen Strafgerichtshöfen. Über alle untersuchten Genozide hinweg stechen die Faktoren Bedrohungsszenarien, Autorisierung und Dehumanisierung hervor. Es ist eine Eigenschaft des Genozids, dass sich die gesellschaftlich dominante Bevölkerungsgruppe - meist die Mehrheit - von der genozidalen Opfergruppe bedroht fühlt. Der Genozid wird in diesem Zusammenhang als "Bedrohungsabwehr" eingesetzt. Sowohl die Bedrohungsassoziation als auch der Bedrohungsgrad werden verstärkt, indem auf die Andersartigkeit der Opfergruppe verwiesen wird, wonach sie von Natur aus nicht anders könne, als die dominierende Bevölkerungsgruppe anzugreifen.

The graphic memoir of Ginette Kolinka, Holocaust survivor, educator, and “ambassador for the memory” of Auschwitz-BirkenauIt is April 1944. 19-year-old Ginette Kolinka arrives at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. Her father and little brother are immediately gassed. Ginette is selected as a worker. She survives. It is October 2020. 95-year-old Ginette takes advantage of a lull in the COVID-19 epidemic to accompany a group visiting Birkenau one last time. As a farewell, she brings with her a journalist (France Info's Victor Matet) and a comic strip writer, J-D Morvan. From this trip a comic book is born. Ginette tells of her life before the war, how she discovered she was Jewish, how her family fled Paris before she and her father were denounced. She tells the story of the camp; completely, honestly, without seeking pity. We see her today, how she still shares her story with the world, how she still stands and bears witness. Ginette tells everything with her trademark liveliness and biting humor. We often laugh, and sometimes we shudder. Because the story she tells is ours too.

Die Nordseeinsel Langeoog als Brennpunkt deutscher Geschichte: Jörg Echternkamp historisiert erstmals umfassend einen Naturraum am Rande Deutschlands, der sich seit den 1880er Jahren zu einem Drehkreuz historischen Wandels entwickelt hat. Die methodisch reflektierte Untersuchung greift Impulse der modernen Raumgeschichte auf und fragt nach den wechselnden Bedeutungen, die "Langeoog" von den Einheimischen wie den Besuchern zugeschrieben wurden. Um deutsche Geschichte zu dezentralisieren, verschränkt Echternkamp analytisch und narrativ die Geschichte der Insel und ihrer Menschen mit der Geschichte Nordwestdeutschlands sowie der National- und Globalgeschichte. So verdeutlicht er die Dynamik der Verflechtung: durch politische, religiöse und kulturelle Einflüsse, durch administrative, wirtschaftliche und militärische Verbindungen und nicht zuletzt durch Zu- und Abwanderung oder zeitweise Aufenthalte. Diese erste histoire totale einer deutschen Insel liefert aufschlussreiche Beiträge zur Tourismus- und Umweltgeschichte, zur NS- und Antisemitismusforschung, zur Militär-, Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte. Nicht zuletzt erweitert sie den touristischen Blick um die Einsicht in die Historizität eines "Naturparadieses". Band 1 der mikrogeschichtlichen Langzeitstudie veranschaulicht die Entwicklung der Insel von der "Entdeckung des Strandes" im 18./19. Jahrhundert bis zu einem protestantisch geprägten Seebad "von deutscher Einfachheit" in den 1920er Jahren. Echternkamp untersucht Formen bürgerlicher Vergesellschaftung in Vereinen, Festen und öffentlichen Veranstaltungen, den Ausbau des touristischen Angebots und die visuelle Selbstdarstellung der Gemeinde ebenso wie die räumliche Mobilität, die Erfahrungen des Ersten Weltkriegs und den tief sitzenden Bäder-Antisemitismus. Band 2 der mikrogeschichtlichen Langzeitstudie beleuchtet Langeoog als Insel der "Volksgemeinschaft". Er legt die nationalsozialistische Durchdringung und die Transformation des Tourismus in den 1930er Jahren offen. Echternkamp nimmt die Ortsgruppe der NSDAP, die Ausbreitung der NS-Volkswohlfahrt und die Zeltlager der Hitlerjugend genauso in den Blick wie die Inselschule und längst vergessene Denkmäler. Die innovative Spurensuche im insularen Raum verdeutlicht zugleich die völkische Ausgrenzung durch Zwangssterilisation und antisemitischen Terror. Zudem zeigt sie den tiefgreifenden Wandel der Landschaft durch den Ausbau zu einer Garnison der Wehrmacht.

While the social and cultural history of the early modern military has greatly advanced in the last few decades, the religious dimension of the military life in the Holy Roman Empire between 1500 and 1650 has hardly been explored. The Reformation's brought profound political, social and cultural upheavals, but the religiosity of the men and women who followed the Christian life in the chaos of war still represents a large gap in the historiography. Faith in War shows that confessional antagonisms lost much of their meaning during war and coexistence became a fact of army life. Connecting military and civilian social and cultural history in these ways, Nikolas Funke's case study on this period brings new life to important current historiographical discussions in a military context, including stereotyping, confessionalization, social discipline, deviance, toleration, religious violence, and the culture of death.
