Russland erlebte in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts eine industrielle Blütezeit, die ideenreiche Jungunternehmer aus ganz Europa anlockte. So auch 1880 die Brüder Gottlieb und Alexander Moll aus Büdelsdorf, die mit väterlichen Emaille-Rezepturen im Gepäck, viel Energie und Geschick im Bezirk Brjansk eigene Betriebe errichteten. Mit großem wirtschaftlichem Erfolg stellten sie hochwertige Emailleprodukte wie Badewannen und Küchengeschirr von zu damaliger Zeit ungekannter Qualität her.Alexander kehrte um 1900 nach Holstein zurück und errichtete in Neumünster das florierende Emaillierwerk Moll & Rohwer. Gottlieb blieb in Russland und baute sein Unternehmen weiter aus, erwarb Landgüter und gründete die erste russische Schallplattenfabrik. Durch Weltkrieg, Revolution und Enteignung ging aller Besitz verloren, und die Molls kehrten bis 1928 unter teils dramatischen Bedingungen nach Holstein zurück.Das Emaillierwerk in Neumünster bestand bis 1940. Die Schallplattenfabrik bei Moskau produzierte mit vielen Unterbrechungen bis in die 1990er Jahre, dann wurde sie stillgelegt. Die Familiengrabstätten beider Brüder befinden sich in Neumünster.

This edited volume is dedicated to national-socialist archaeology as a Europe-wide phenomenon. It analyses national-socialist attempts to denationalize the archaeologies of European nations by creating a new unifying European archaeology on a racial basis. From the beginning of the nineteenth century, archaeology began to develop into an important force behind processes of nation building. At the same time, structures of transnational academic collaboration contributed strongly to the internal dynamics of the research field, which was primarily organized on a national basis. In those European countries that were confronted with national-socialist occupation and repression between 1939 and 1945, these transnational archaeological networks were to prove crucial for the development of national-socialist archaeological policies. This volume will reveal how national-socialist archaeology was to anextent valued positively in its time as highly innovative, even influencing the archaeology of non-occupied countries. Although in the final instance, it generally failed to displace the national archaeologies in Europe, the volume also analyses the long-term impact of national-socialist rule on the development of European archaeology. How did the attempts to create a unified European archaeology after 1945 continue to influence networks, methods and terminologies, institutional structures, or popular representations of the early past?Chapter ¿1¿ Is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via Springerlink.

Fast 20 Jahre diente Philipp Schaaf beim Kommando Spezialkräfte, kurz KSK, das als bestausgebildete Truppe der Bundeswehr gilt. Ursprünglich aufgestellt, um deutsche Geiseln im Ausland zu befreien sowie den internationalen Terrorismus zu bekämpfen, dringt über das KSK bis heute wenig nach außen. Ausbildung und Einsätze werden streng geheim gehalten, das Headquarter in der Graf-Zeppelin-Kaserne in Calw ist von der Öffentlichkeit abgeschottet. In diesem autobiografischen Buch erzählt der ehemalige Oberstabsfeldwebel die Geschichte seiner außergewöhnlichen Karriere. Eindringlich beschreibt er die physisch und psychisch extrem fordernden Auswahlverfahren, zum Beispiel die sogenannte Höllenwoche, sowie die mehrjährige Spezialausbildung, die hierzulande einzigartig ist. Schaaf galt als Vorzeigesoldat. Er absolvierte mehrere Auslandseinsätze, stieg ins Führungsteam seiner Kompanie auf und wurde als Verbindungsoffizier beim Einsatzführungskommando der Bundeswehr eingesetzt. In einer ehrlichen und selbstkritischen Rückschau auf seine Dienstzeit gibt er Einblicke in das verborgene Innenleben der Elitetruppe, berichtet von geheimen Einsätzen, bei denen deutsche Soldaten starben, und deckt Hintergründe des bisher größten Skandals beim KSK auf, in dessen Folge er selbst vor Gericht und im Gefängnis landete.

This book uncovers the history of a group of Jewish workers and merchants in the Amsterdam diamond industry during the Holocaust. They and their families were exempt from deportation for a long time, but were eventually deported to Bergen-Belsen. In the end, almost all of the men perished, and the women barely survived slave-labour. Their children were left to die in the camp, but were miraculously saved by the intervention of a Jewish Polish woman, ¿nurse Lubä. The main sources on which this book is based are video testimonies of the surviving members of this group, personal interviews, minutes of interviews taken down in shorthand shortly after the war, and personal documents such as letters, archival documents, and autobiographical books.

"Daphne Cavin's poignant story of love, loss and sacrifice was one of the most memorable I encountered in writing The Greatest Generation. Her daughter now completes the story with this very heartfelt book." - Tom BrokawThe war claimed Daphne Kelley's young husband's life, but it couldn't keep Raymond - and his abiding love - from being with her when she needed him most.First told in Tom Brokaw's landmark bestseller, The Greatest Generation, Daphne and Raymond Kelley's story provides what New York Times book reviewer Michael Lind called, "perhaps the most compelling" love story in Brokaw's book.Taking its title from a poem newlywed Daphne sent her soldier-husband during World War II, When You Come Home tells of their young love in the heartland at the brink of war, and of the crushing uncertainty and fear as they find themselves a world apart. When her poem comes back to Daphne - blood-stained by Raymond's mortal wounds - she accepts the loss. And yet, through her pain, the grieving young widow finds that her faith provides hope and healing amidst the wounds of war.

Am Beispiel der Hanseforschung und des Hansischen Geschichtsvereins wird herausgearbeitet, wie offiziöse Historiografie im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert immer im Dienst des jeweiligen staatlichen Regimes stand. Beamtetes akademisches Bildungsbürgertum lieferte nationalistische Vaterlandsideologien, nordisch-arischen Rassismus, Judenfeindlichkeit und aggressive völkische Geopolitik. Die nationalsozialistische Ideologie der faschistischen Bewegung entstammte ebenfalls der Feder rechtskonservativer Aktivisten vor allem des Alldeutschen Verbandes. Intellektuelles Kultur- und Bildungsbürgergertum bereitete zwei Weltkriege weltanschaulich mit vor und beteiligte sich als Propagandisten für überhebliches Deutschtum und deutschen Kolonialismus und Imperialismus. Bis heute ist es noch kaum gelungen, mit den gefährlichen staatlichen und ideologischen Traditionen der deutschen Klassengesellschaft zu brechen, da die Aufarbeitung der Geschichte immer in den Händen einer Geschichtswissenschaft lag, die selber Teil des historischen Problems war.

Mit diesem Einblick in die Kompletterneuerung aller Hochschulen eines zuvor sozialistischen in ein gewollt freiheitlich-demokratisches Bundesland berichtet der Autor vom schwierigen Balanceakt, über Methoden des Rechtsstaates eine in der SED-Diktatur der DDR sozialisierte Gesellschaft zu evaluieren und deren Hochschulen für den Wettbewerb mit denen der alten Bundesländer fit zu machen. Eingebettet in die friedliche Revolution in Deutschland war die hier betrachtete Hochschulerneuerung ohne historisches Vorbild. Nach den ersten (und letzten) freien Wahlen zur Volkskammer 1990 stand das Ziel Auflösung der DDR und Beitritt zum Grundgesetz mit der Wiedereinführung der Kulturhoheit der Länder fest, der Weg dahin keineswegs. Insofern vermitteln die beschriebenen Etappen sowohl einen Eindruck von der Komplexität des Problems als auch vom zielführenden und selbstlosen Engagement der treibenden Kräfte aus dem akademischen Mittelbau.Mit der guten Nachricht von der Aufnahme der TU Dresden ab 2012 als "Exzellenzuniversität" in den Kreis der 10 besten Universitäten Deutschlands hat sich aus heutiger Sicht der Mut und die kollektive Opferbereitschaft für folgende Generationen ausgezahlt.
