“A dense and scholarly book about . . . the relationship between the Nazi party and the occult . . . reveals stranger-than-fiction truths on every page.”—Daily Telegraph The Nazi fascination with the occult is legendary, yet today it is often dismissed as Himmler’s personal obsession or wildly overstated for its novelty. Preposterous though it was, however, supernatural thinking was inextricable from the Nazi project. The regime enlisted astrology and the paranormal, paganism, Indo-Aryan mythology, witchcraft, miracle weapons, and the lost kingdom of Atlantis in reimagining German politics and society and recasting German science and religion. In this eye-opening history, Eric Kurlander reveals how the Third Reich’s relationship to the supernatural was far from straightforward. Even as popular occultism and superstition were intermittently rooted out, suppressed, and outlawed, the Nazis drew upon a wide variety of occult practices and esoteric sciences to gain power, shape propaganda and policy, and pursue their dreams of racial utopia and empire. “[Kurlander] shows how swiftly irrational ideas can take hold, even in an age before social media.”—The Washington Post “Deeply researched, convincingly authenticated, this extraordinary study of the magical and supernatural at the highest levels of Nazi Germany will astonish.”—The Spectator “A trustworthy [book] on an extraordinary subject.”—The Times “A fascinating look at a little-understood aspect of fascism.”—Kirkus Reviews “Kurlander provides a careful, clear-headed, and exhaustive examination of a subject so lurid that it has probably scared away some of the serious research it merits.”—National Review

As a young person living in Germany in both the prelude and aftermath of Hitler's ascent to power in 1933, Weinberg provides a firsthand account of the changes wrought by the Nazis on Jews and Jewish life in Germany prior to World War II.- Harry Reiss, History of the Holocaust Instructor, Rockland Community CollegeIn the growing body of Holocaust literature, the life before the war is often lost as we focus on the trauma of the war itself. This work by Kerry Weinberg is an important addition to Holocaust studies precisely because it fills in many blank spaces.- Barbara Grau, Executive Director, Holocaust Museum and Study Center, Rockland, New YorkIn a long, tumultuous life that spanned most of the 20th century Kerry Weinberg experienced the brutal disruption of her youth in Nazi-controlled Germany, the fearful wanderings of a persecuted Jew who was forced to run for her life, the disintegration of her family during the Holocaust, the turbulent and violent years of 1940s' Israel, and periods of relative tranquility as a teacher in Germany, Israel, and the United States. In this extraordinary memoir she documents what happened to her and many others like her during one of the most horrific periods of European history. As the events of the Holocaust recede more and more into the past, we have seen the unfortunate rise in recent decades of anti-Semitic revisionist propaganda questioning the historicity of the Nazi-sponsored genocide. In this context, documents such as Weinberg's, which testify to firsthand experiences of eyewitnesses, are especially valuable to set the record straight.Weinberg begins with childhood memories of peaceful coexistence between German Jews and Christians before the Nazi takeover. This section makes one realize how easy it was for well-assimilated German Jews to misjudge the magnitude of the disaster that so quickly descended upon them. But events soon turned ugly. She vividly recounts the jolting experience of the infamous Kristallnacht, the burning of synagogues, the destruction of her parents' home, desperate attempts to secure exit visas, and finally her escape to England and then Israel, where she encountered more persecution from British police and hostile Arab neighbors.Symbolic of her life is the chapter entitled Six National Anthems! Forced by circumstances to live in many nations under many regimes, she became a citizen of the world and a survivor compelled to tell her story and those of others who could not escape.Kerry Weinberg, Ph.D. (New City, NY), now retired, was a teacher and professor for half a century. She is the author of T. S. Eliot and Charles Baudelaire, coauthor of the unique post-World War II publication Emuna/Horizonte, based on German/Israeli-Christian/Jewish collaboration (regretfully discontinued), and she published an English grammar book while teaching graduating classes in Tel Aviv. Numerous essays of hers in comparative literature have appeared in scholarly journals, and she has also authored several articles on teaching methods, travelogues, and many award-winning poems.

“Madam President. The nuclear bombs just detonated in China, Russia, and off the coast of the United States did not, I repeat, did not originate from the planet Earth. It is my opinion, and the opinion of everyone here, that the Earth can no longer be defended from the Earth.” President Carolina Garcia sat in the Roosevelt Room across the hall from the Oval Office and gazed at the four people sitting opposite her in unblinking shock. As she looked at the Secretary of Defense, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Director of the FBI, and the Administrator of NASA, her mind was so scrambled that she could not even remember which one just uttered the surreal and blood-chilling identity of the enemy which just attacked earth.

Mining the borderlands where history meets literature in Britain and Europe as well as America, this book shows how the imminence and outbreak of World War II ignited the imaginations of writers ranging from Ernest Hemingway, W.H. Auden, and James Joyce to Bertolt Brecht, Evelyn Waugh, Henry Green, and Irène Némirovsky. Taking its cue from Percy Shelley's dictum that great writers are to some extent created by the age in which they live, this book shows how much the politics and warfare of the years from 1939 to 1941 drove the literature of this period. Its novels, poems, and plays differ radically from histories of World War II because-besides being works of imagination-- they are largely products of a particular stage in the author's life as well as of a time at which no one knew how the war would end. This is the first comprehensive study of the impact of the outbreak of the Second World War on the literary work of American, English, and European writers during its first years.

Arthur Moeller van den Bruck was a prolific writer, historian, art critic, translator and publisher; the quintissential Bohemian fin-de-siecle artist. In the turbulent years that followed the end of the First World War, he became politically active as the leader of the young conservative revolutionaries in Weimar Germany. Moeller van den Bruck expressed his ideas for a German authoritarian state in his major work Das Dritte Reich (The Third Reich), first published in 1923. Adolf Hitler was profoundly influenced by the ideas that Das Dritte Reich and regarded himself as the activist who could implement them. As Moeller van den Bruck watched Hitler become the personification of the violent dynamism he had recommended in his book, he anticipated the horrors to come and saw no way out by to commit suicide. This remarkable biography gives a compelling insight into the tragic life of Moeller van den Bruck and uses personal interviews with contemporaries such as Kafka, Munch and Dietrich to explore the political and artistic whirlpools of Weirmar Germany in which he lived.

"The rapid and radical transformations of the Nazi Era challenged the ways German Jews experienced space and time, two of the most fundamental characteristics of human existence. In Space and Time under Persecution, Guy Miron documents how German Jews came to terms with the harsh challenges of persecution-from social exclusion, economic decline, and relocation to confiscation of their homes, forced labor, and deportation to death in the east-by rethinking their experiences in spatial and temporal terms. Miron first explores the strategies and practices German Jews used to accommodate their shrinking access to public space, in turn reinventing traditional Jewish space and ideas of home. He then turns to how German Jews redesigned the annual calendar, came to terms with the ever-growing need to wait for nearly everything, and developed new interpretations of the past. Miron's insightful analysis reveals how these tactics expressed both the continuous attachment of Jews to key elements of German bourgeois life as well as their struggle to maintain Jewish agency and express Jewish defiance under Nazi persecution"--
