The Rise of National Socialism in the Bavarian Highlands offers a
microhistory of the town of Murnau between 1919 and 1933, a period
which witnessed the rise of national socialism in Germany. National
socialism had its roots in Bavaria, where the Weimar Republic found
it difficult to secure popular support amongst the rural
population. It was in this region that economic hardship and
effective national socialist propaganda furthered the erosion of
democracy. Focusing on Murnau, this book examines the political and
economic state of the town, as well as the mentality and social
composition of its inhabitants. It also looks at the development of
tourism in the interwar period, a topic which has received little
scholarly attention. Although the study limits itself to one town,
the reactions of its inhabitants reflect a common attitude of
nostalgia for a seemingly better past and a rejection of the
‘excessive’ demands of modernity that the Weimar Republic
exacted on them. This book will appeal to scholars and students of
national socialism, as well as those interested in the Weimer
Republic, Nazi Germany, microhistory, and the history of tourism.

Of all victims of Nazi persecution, German Jews had to suffer the
Nazi yoke for the longest time. Throughout the Third Reich, they
were exposed to anti-Jewish propaganda, discrimination,
anti-Semitic laws and increasingly to outrages and offences by
non-Jewish Germans. While the International Military Tribunal and
the subsequent American Military Tribunals at Nuremberg dealt with
a variety of Nazi crimes according to international law, these
courts did not consider themselves cognizant in adjudicating
wrongdoings against German citizens and those who lost German
citizenship based on the so-called "Nuremberg laws," such as
Germany's Jews. Until recently, scholarship failed to explore this
task of the German judiciary in more detail. Edith Raim fills this
gap by showing the extent of the crimes committed against Jews
beyond the traditionally known facts and by elucidating how the
West German administration of justice was reconstructed under
Allied supervision.

Das Bild ubiquitaren Versagens der deutschen Justiz ist fest
etabliert. Edith Raim stellt es nicht ganz auf den Kopf, sie
relativiert die gangige Deutung aber in vielerlei Hinsicht.
Ausgangspunkt ist die facettenreiche Sozialgeschichte der
westdeutschen Justiz nach 1945, wobei auch die leidenschaftlichen
deutsch-alliierten Diskussionen uber die nationalsozialistischen
"Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit" untersucht werden."
