If you’re in Boston, consider joining us today to talk about the German Federal Elections, their international context, the surge of the far Right, and Germany‘s principle and practice of Defensive Democracy.

What are the repercussions of today's elections in Germany? How are we to understand the earth-shattering success of the AfD, 80 years after the perpetration of the Holocaust? Please join some colleagues and me at this roundtable @Princeton next Tuesday. All are welcome

Der Skandal ist, dass sich der Oppositionsführer angemaßt hat den Wahltermin gegen die Einschätzungen der Bundeswahlleiterin festlegen zu wollen so dass 1) das Fenster für die Briefwahl verkürzt wurde und 2) keine Zeit bleibt auf Probleme rechtzeitig zu reagieren.
Nicht-Wählen als revolutionärer Akt ist peinlich. Gerade weil diejenigen, die unter rechten Parteien am meisten zu leiden haben, kein Wahlrecht haben. Simone Dede Ayivi tazKolumnistin sagt: Raft euch!
Genau, Schwester!
“There won’t be endless chances for the democratic centrist parties to come together and keep the AfD out,” Omas Gegen Rechts said. “I hope they seize it.”
Der Blick auf die Lebensgeschichten des rassistischen Terroranschlags in Hanau zeigt, diese sind so vielfältig, wie es die Lebenswirklichkeit hierzulande ist. Die Tat ist aber die letzte Konsequenz aus der realitätsfernen Behauptung, Deutschland sei kein Einwanderungsland. #hanauistüberall Dr. Patrice G. Poutrus, Migrationsforscher
Wir - die wir uns nach #Hanau persönlich angegriffen sahen und weder Hilfe noch Schutz von diesem Staat erwarten können - wir sollten uns fragen, ob wir es uns leisten können zu warten, bis hierzulande wieder die #Freiheit zur Menschenjagd Bürgerpflicht sein wird. GEHT WÄHLEN! #HanauIstÜberall
Absolutely delighted to welcome @michellelkahn.bsky.social and hear her talk about transatlantic white supremacy at @europeatharvard.bsky.social today. Comments by Peter Gordon. Come join the conversation at 4pm!
Schlüsselsatz von #Lindner bei @CarenMiosga: “Wir müssen mehr Milei und Musk wagen”
Das ist das, was Lindner will: Autoritärer Libertarismus.
Never encountered a group of students who were not visibly horrified by the most basic factual description of the demise of Patrice Lumumba.
This looks fantastic.
I've gone back to reading the e-papers of the papers I consume with morning coffee and stay away from their websites.
Looking for help by fellow historians!
In his famous "Antisemitism and National Scoialism" article, Moishe Postone mentiones a propaganda poster:
"A graphic example of this vision is provided by a Nazi poster which depicts Germany - represented as a strong, honest worker - 1/2
We agree on the question. I’m just not sure the answer is quite as obvious as you imply.
Not my point. Fear of the incompetent administration of the Volksgemeinschaft may have driven (privileged) people to assert their belonging, thereby eroding opposition. I’m not suggesting Trump’s America is about to turn into Nazi Germany. But incompetence was pretty pernicious in that case.
Add me, please!

#20Juli #Widerstand
Der Versuch, #Hitler am 20. Juli 1944 zu töten, ist aller Ehren wert. Er erinnert aber auch, dass (später) Widerstand gegen Hitler und Mitwirkung am #Holocaust und #Vernichtungskrieg 'im Osten' Hand in Hand gehen konnten. Man sollte beidem gedenken!
