Egon BahrYear of Publication: 2019
Towards German Reunification

In March 1966, Egon Bahr finished a manuscript. Under the title »What now?«, he outlines a new East German and intra-German policy. Proudly, he hands it to his superior – and the text disappears into a filing cabinet. Willy Brandt feared that in view of the possibility of a grand coalition, the memorandum held too much explosive potential. But the two soon start implementing Bahr’s concept...

How a British Officer is Giving Children in the Hindu Kush a Future
The tribal areas on the Pakistani border with Afghanistan are among the most dangerous parts in the world. If there is one thing we don’t usually associate with this remote region, it’s hope. As recently as October 2012, the Taliban carried out an attack on a fourteen-year-old schoolgirl who was advocating education for girls.


And yet it is precisely here, in the power of...

West German Aid for Nazi-Perpetrators Taken into Custody Abroad

Immediately after the Second World War, National Socialist war criminals were taken into custody by many Western European countries. Given the Federal Republic of Germany’s links to the West, the majority were released. In Italy and the Netherlands alone, five Germans remained in police custody: SS man Herbert Kappler as the Gestapo commander responsible for the Ardeatine massacre, and the...

Jews and Anti-Semites in Hitler’s Munich 1918–1923

After the First World War, Munich became the scene of unusual political constellations: in November 1918, Kurt Eisner became the first ever Jewish prime minister of a German state, while in April 1919, Jewish writers like Gustav Landauer, Ernst Toller and Erich Mühsam became involved with the Bavarian Soviet Republic.

Social Progress: History and Concept

Tomorrow, everything is going to be better: Since the Age of Enlightenment, this slogan identifies disciples of social progress, while those of the dark ages bark about how everything was better in the olden days. Some bank on science and technology to enhance freedom, wealth, education, and beauty, others on tradition, blood, land, family, fatherland, and other such ancestral chatter so that...

A Global Threat: Emergence, Spread and Defence
After the »IS« lay in ruins and »Caliph« al-Baghdadi was killed by US troops in October 2019, the »war on terror« seemed to be over once again. But jihadism has long since become a global movement incorporating dozens of organisations – and it cannot be dealt with by brute force alone.
