CHOICE OUTSTANDING BOOK OF THE YEAR 2005 Recently, there has been a
major shift in the focus of historical research on World War II
towards the study of the involvements of scholars and academic
institutions in the crimes of the Third Reich. The roots of this
involvement go back to the 1920s. At that time right-wing scholars
participated in the movement to revise the Versailles Treaty and to
create a new German national identity. The contribution of
geopolitics to this development is notorious. But there were also
the disciplines of history, geography, ethnography, art history,
archeology, sociology, and demography that devised a new
nationalist ideology and propaganda. Its scholars established an
extensive network of personal and institutional contacts. This
volume deals with these scholars and their agendas. They provided
the Nazi regime with ideas of territorial expansion, colonial
exploitation and racist exclusion culminating in the Holocaust.
Apart from developing ideas and concepts, scholars also actively
worked in the SS and Wehrmacht when Hitler began to implement its
criminal policies in World War II. This collection of original
essays, written by the foremost European scholars in this field,
describes key figures and key programs supporting the expansion and
exploitation of the Third Reich. In particular, they analyze the
historical, geographic, ethnographical and ethno-political ideas
behind the ethnic cleansing and looting of cultural treasures.
Michael Fahlbusch lives in Switzerland. He studied Geography in
Munster and Zurich. He has written on the history of science,
ethnic cleansing and ethno-politics in 20th-century Europe. Ingo
Haar is working as a Research Fellow in the Berlin Centre of
Research on Anti-Semitism (Zentrum fur Antisemitismusforschung,
Berlin). He was a member of the Austrian Historical Commission on
History of National Socialism and has worked extensively on
policies and ideology of the Third Reich.
