Dirigé par Jean Lopez, avec la collaboration de Nicolas Aubin et Vincent Bernard, et superbement mis en scène par le data designer Nicolas Guillerat, ce livre exceptionnel, tant par sa forme que son contenu, est le fruit de l'association de compétences complémentaires réunies pour la première fois. Il part d'un constat : la masse de données disponibles sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale n'a jamais été aussi importante, mais il est devenu difficile de lui donner du sens et, surtout, d'en rendre compte à un large public. Il fallait donc inventer, dans une démarche historienne et en puisant aux meilleures sources internationales, une forme permettant à la fois de traiter la masse de données (data) disponibles et de les rendre intelligibles au plus grand nombre. Cette forme, c'est l'infographie, et le résultat est époustouflant, qu'il s'agisse de renouveler nos connaissances, de visualiser les grandes lignes du conflit, de comprendre aisément des phénomènes complexes ou tout simplement de relier des aspects de la guerre jusqu'ici éclatés. En quatre parties - Le cadre militaire et humain, Armes et armées, Batailles et campagnes, Bilan et fractures - rassemblant une soixantaine de grands thèmes - l'équation pétrolière, qu'est-ce qu'une division d'infanterie ? , l'opération Barbarossa, la logistique alliée en Europe, la reconquête américaine du Pacifique, le système concentrationnaire nazi, l'épopée de la France libre, les pertes allemandes, la guerre dans le désert... -, c'est bien tout le second conflit mondial qui est ici repensé à travers une forme particulièrement accessible, profondément originale et non moins esthétique. -- 4ème de couverture.

Der Band bietet einen konzisen, problemorientierten Überblick über die wichtigsten Phasen des Dritten Reiches. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die ideologischen Grundlagen, die NS-Herrschaft und die Rolle Hitlers, die Mobilisierung der Gesellschaft und die Ausgrenzung von Minderheiten sowie der nationalsozialistische Krieg. Zudem diskutiert Echternkamp die aktuelle NS-Forschung, die durch die Debatte über die „Volksgemeinschaft“ neue Impulse erhalten hat. The volume presents a concise, problem-oriented overview of the most important phases of the Third Reich. It focuses on ideological underpinnings, Hitler’s role in Nazi rule, social mobilization, the exclusion of minorities, as well as the National Socialist war. In addition, Echternkamp examines contemporary research on Nazism, which has taken on new force with the debate surrounding the Volksgemeinschaft.

In this compelling account of life and death in a Russian province under Nazi occupation, Johannes Due Enstad challenges received wisdom about Russian patriotism during World War II. With the benefit of hindsight, we know how hopelessly destructive Germany's war against the Soviet Union was. Yet ordinary Russians witnessing the advancing German forces saw things differently. For many of them, having lived through collectivization and Stalinist terror in the 1930s, the invasion created hopes of a better life without the Bolsheviks. German policies on land and church helped sustain those hopes for parts of the population. Drawing on Soviet and German archival sources as well as eyewitness accounts, memoirs, and diaries, Enstad demonstrates the impact of Nazi rule on the mostly peasant population of northwest Russia and offers a reconsideration of the relationship between the Soviet regime and its core Russian population at this crucial moment in their history.

This book investigates cinematic representations of the murder of European Jews and civilian opposition to Nazi occupation from the war up until the twenty-first century. The study exposes a chronology of the conflict’s memorialization whose geo-political alignments are demarcated by vectors of time and space—or ‘chronotopes’, using Mikhail Bakhtin’s term. Camino shows such chronotopes to be first defined by the main allies; the USA, USSR and UK; and then subsequently expanding from the geographical and political centres of the occupation; France, the USSR and Poland. Films from Western and Eastern Europe and the USA are treated as primary and secondary sources of the conflict. These sources contribute to a sentient or emotional history that privileges affect and construct what Michel Foucault labels biopolitics. These cinematic narratives, which are often based on memoirs of resistance fighters like Joseph Kessel or Holocaust survivors such as Primo Levi and Wanda Jakubowska, evoke the past in what Marianne Hirsch has described as ‘post-memory’. .

This book elaborates Jean Améry’s critique of philosophy and his discussion of some central philosophical themes in At the Mind’s Limits and his other writings. It shows how Améry elaborates the shortcomings and unfitness of philosophical theories to account for torture, the experience of homelessness, and other indignities, and their inability to assist with overcoming resentment. It thus teases out the philosophical import of Jean Améry's critique of philosophy, which constitutes his own philosophical testament of being an inmate at Auschwitz. This book situates At the Mind’s Limits in the context of twentieth-century Continental philosophy. On the one hand, it elaborates Améry’s engagement with key philosophical figures. On the other hand, it shows how thoroughly Améry denounces the limits of the philosophical enterprise, and its impotence in capturing and accounting for the crimes of the Third Reich. .

"In 1940, when Hitler's tanks reached the English Channel and German bombs fell on London, the invasion of the United Kingdom seemed imminent. Among the many thousands of British children finding a safe haven during the war, Benjamin Barman was sent by his parents to stay with the Penrose family in London, Ontario. Along with Margaret Penrose, a childhood friend of his mother, Ben wrote letters to his family from 1940 until his return to England late in 1943. Transcribed and illustrated with contemporary photographs, this correspondence provides graphic insight into the trauma faced by a child refugee as he struggled to adapt to a completely new life and society far from his family. Captivating and instructive, the letters, along with detailed reports provided to Ben's parents by his host mother, speak to Canadians' unflinching support of the British despite the many deprivations and difficulties that the war inflicted on them. Introduced and extensively annotated by Ben's youngest brother, Roderick, a professional historian, Safe Haven reveals the intimate day-to-day life of one Canadian household during the Second World War and the realities of evacuated British children, their families, and the people who hosted them."--
