Der Holocaust ALS Paradigma Instrumenteller Verwertungslogik
by Karin Weingartz-Perschel
Viel ist zum Thema Holocaust, Auschwitz, Nationalsozialismus, Faschismus geschrieben worden. Daten und Fakten wurden recherchiert, dokumentiert und oeffentlich gemacht.

Der aktuelle anthropotechnische Diskurs um den Wert und Unwert des Lebens weckt beangstigende Assoziationen zur Nazi-Ideologie. Erst ihre sozialkritische Entschlusselung wird uns Nachgeborenen die Moeglichkeit geben, die Ursachen gegenwartiger Bedro...

Arguing against the belief that Britain could have contained Germany and avoided war if it had used force when Hitler remilitari...

He was held responsible for his troops having executed nearly 9,000 Italian citizens - women, children, elderly men - in retaliation for partisan attacks. His conviction, however, created a real dilemma for the United States and western Europe. While some sought the harshest punishments available for anyone who had participated in the war crimes of the Nazi regime, others believed...
