Book Description

Continuum International Publishing Group, 1996-10. Hardcover. BRAND NEW HARDCOVER IN NEW JACKE/BRAND NEW HARDCOVER IN NEW JACKE. German opposition to Hitler's national-socialist party took many forms before the Nazis came to power in 1933, including pamphlets, polemical books, novels, protests, lawsuits, George Grosz's graphics and John Heartfield's political posters. After 1933, resistance groups distributed propaganda but came under Gestapo surveillance. Scattered German resistance to the Nazis, as this revealing study shows, continued throughout the war both underground and in now well-known movements like the Munich student group White Rose; the secret Jewish youth organization Chug Chaluzi; and in the assassination plot on Hitler led by government officials; and through the clandestine activities of some 7000 identified resistance fighters. A valuable resource, this volume includes 10 essays by German historians and political scientists discussing opposition to Hitler by socialists, communists, liberals, reactionary nationalists, dissenting Protestants and Catholics, women, exiles, youth and the military. Also here are short articles on specific topics, plus biographical sketches of resisters. Benz teaches at Berlin's Center for Research on Anti-Semitism; Pehle is editor of the 100-volume series The Age of National Socialism.
