The Nazi-fascist new order for European culture
During World War II, Nazi-fascist cultural organizations brought writers, filmmakers, and composers together at international conferences where intellectuals celebrated a nationalist and anti-Semitic vision of European culture and pursued the continent-wide reform of the legal and economic bases of European culture. The Nazi-Fascist New Order for European Culture charts the origins, successes, and collapse of the Axis's pan-European cultural institutions. It analyzes their core ideas, charts their internal rivalries, and reveals the complex dynamic of cooperation and competition between the Germans and the Italians that stood at the heart of the project.-- Provided by publisher
Book
Empire of Destruction
The first comparative, comprehensive history of Nazi mass
killing - showing how genocidal policies were crucial to the
regime's strategy to win the war Nazi Germany killed
approximately 13 million civilians and other non-combatants in
deliberate policies of mass murder, mostly during the war years.
Almost half the victims were Jewish, systematically destroyed in
the Holocaust, the core of the Nazis' pan-European racial
purification programme. Alex Kay argues that the genocide of
European Jewry can be examined in the wider context of Nazi mass
killing. For the first time, Empire of Destruction
considers Europe's Jews alongside all the other major victim
groups: captive Red Army soldiers, the Soviet urban population,
unarmed civilian victims of preventive terror and reprisals, the
mentally and physically disabled, the European Roma and the Polish
intelligentsia. Kay shows how each of these groups was regarded by
the Nazi regime as a potential threat to Germany's ability to
successfully wage a war for hegemony in Europe. Combining the full
quantitative scale of the killings with the individual horror, this
is a vital and groundbreaking work.

Barbed wire : an ecology of modernity
In this original and controversial book, historian and philosopher Reviel Netz explores the development of a controlling and pain-inducing technology—barbed wire. Surveying its development from 1874 to 1954, Netz describes its use to control cattle during the colonization of the American West and to control people in Nazi concentration camps and the Russian Gulag. Physical control over space was no longer symbolic after 1874.
This is a history told from the perspective of its victims. With vivid examples of the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and the environment, this dramatic account of barbed wire presents modern history through the lens of motion being prevented. Drawing together the history of humans and animals, Netz delivers a compelling new perspective on the issues of colonialism, capitalism, warfare, globalization, violence, and suffering. Theoretically sophisticated but written with a broad readership in mind, Barbed Wire calls for nothing less than a reconsideration of modernity.

Odczuwanie stylu\. Krajobrazowe Kulturfilmy Alfreda Ehrhardta z okresu Trzeciej Rzeszy
Abstract The article focuses on Alfred Ehrhardt's landscape Kulturfilme [culture films] from the Third Reich period (Urkräfte am Werk, 1939, Nordische Urwelt, 1941). The author sees them as unique among educational films (not only of their era), both in terms of their subject matter (the Wadden Sea, Iceland) and their poetics, which refer to the modernist codes of visual culture at the turn of the 1920s and 1930s. The latter include the ideas of shaping visual material developed at the Bauhaus (where Ehrhardt studied for one semester) and the principles derived from the New Photography movement. XX w. - która byta przez Ehrhardta twórczo kontynuowana w krzyzowym ogniu nazistowskiej propagandy, wydaje sie interesujacym, ale i nietatwym wyzwaniem badawczym zarówno ze wzgledu na usytuowanie tych filmów w ich macierzystym $rodowisku estetycznym (ide- ologicznie nacechowany Kulturfilm), jak i z perspektywy dlugiego trwania, domknietej powojennymi filmami reportazowymi z Islandii.
