"This slim volume accomplishes a remarkable feat. It provides
concise, beautifully crafted essays that provide access to the best
scholarship in Nazi cultural history even as they represent the
current state of research by leading experts... Supplemented with
illustrations and primary sources, this work would make an ideal
addition to undergraduate and graduate courses on the Third Reich,
sure to provoke lively discussion and further study on the arts in
Nazi Germany." . German Studies Review "Huener and Nicosia's
collection provides exceptional insight not only into the murky
world of National Socialist cultural practices, but also into some
uncomfortable areas which survived beyond 1945." . European History
Quarterly Culture and the arts played a central role in the
ideology and propaganda of National Socialism from the early years
of the movement until the last months of the Third Reich in 1945.
Hitler and his followers believed that art and culture were
expressions of race, and that "Aryans" alone were capable of
creating true art and preserving true German culture. This volume's
essays explore these and other aspects of the arts and cultural
life under National Socialism, and are authored by some of the most
respected authorities in the field: Alan Steinweis, Michael Kater,
Eric Rentschler, Pamela Potter, Frank Trommler, and Jonathan
Petropoulos. The result is a volume that offers students and
interested readers a brief but focused introduction to this
important aspect of the history of Nazi Germany. Jonathan Huener is
Associate Professor of History at the University of Vermont. He has
written on aspects of memorial culture in postwar Germany and
Poland, is author of Auschwitz, Poland, and the Politics of
Commemoration, 1945-1979, and co-editor, with Francis R. Nicosia,
of Medicine and Medical Ethics in Nazi Germany: Origins, Practices,
Legacies and Business and Industry in Nazi Germany. Francis R.
Nicosia is the Raul Hilberg Distinguished Professor of Holocaust
Studies at the University of Vermont. He has written on German
Zionism and German Middle East policy during the Weimar and Nazi
periods. He is author of The Third Reich and the Palestine
Question, and co-author of The Columbia Guide to the Holocaust.
