How did the academy react to the rise, dominance, and ultimate fall
of Germany's Third Reich? Did German professors of the humanities
have to tell themselves lies about their regime's activities or its
victims to sleep at night? Did they endorse the regime? Or did they
look the other way, whether out of deliberate denial or out of fear
for their own personal safety? The Betrayal of the Humanities: The
University during the Third Reich is a collection of groundbreaking
essays that shed light on this previously overlooked piece of
history. The Betrayal of the Humanities accepts the regrettable
news that academics and intellectuals in Nazi Germany betrayed the
humanities, and explores what went wrong, what occurred at the
universities, and what happened to the major disciplines of the
humanities under National Socialism. The Betrayal of the Humanities
details not only how individual scholars, particular departments,
and even entire universities collaborated with the Nazi regime but
also examines the legacy of this era on higher education in
Germany. In particular, it looks at the peculiar position of many
German scholars in the post-war world having to defend their own
work, or the work of their mentors, while simultaneously not
appearing to accept Nazism.
