Great Shorties: "Mondscheinsonate" – von Georg Brun(Hördauer 16 Min.)Georg Brun – In München am 10. Januar 1958 geboren, bin ich mit einigen Abstechern stets ein „Münchner Kindl“ geblieben. Mit 17 Jahren begann ich eine Polizeiausbildung, arbeitete im Landeskriminalamt, besuchte das Abendgymnasium und studierte nach dem Abitur Jura. Schließlich durfte ich 29 Jahre im Wissenschaftsministerium tätig sein. Die Literatur war von Jugend an eine meiner Leidenschaften. Als ich 1988 mit „Das Vermächtnis der Juliane Hall“ meine erste Buchveröffentlichung hatte und für diesen Roman den Bayerischen Förderpreis für Literatur erhielt, begann mein erfüllendes Doppelleben als Jurist und Autor. Ein Aufenthaltsstipendium im Jahr 1997 in der Casa Baldi, die von der Villa Massimo verwaltet wurde, bescherte mir zehn Lebenswochen in und um Rom; diese Zeit wollte dann in dem Roman „Die Engel der Kurie“ verarbeitet werden. Literaturleidenschaft führte mich zur Initiative Junger Autoren und zur Autorenvereinigung „Die Kogge“ sowie zu einem langjährigen Einsatz für die Deutsche Schillerstiftung in Weimar, bis im Jahr 2006 der Dienst im Ministerium mein Doppelleben für fünfzehn Jahre beendete.Ich bin Mitglied im SYNDIKAT e.V., der Vereinigung deutschsprachiger Krimiautorinnen und Krimiautoren und schreibe mit viel Leidenschaft unterhaltsame Krimis mit Lokalkolorit und aktuellen Themen.Wenn Ihnen dies gefallen hat, hören Sie doch auch einmal hier hineinToneffekte Jupp Stepprath, Sprecher und Realisation Uwe Kullnick Midi-Noten der Mondscheinsonate von Bernd Krueger, geladen von der Webseite Piano-Midi http://piano-midi.de/midisamm.htm

Der Tod eines Kindes ist für die Eltern ein sehr belastender Einschnitt, der das komplette Leben verändert. Oft trauern sie ein Leben lang. Stirbt ein Kind, bleibt in einer Familie nichts mehr, wie es war. Der unfassbare Verlust ist kaum zu verkraften, die Verzweiflung übermächtig, das Weiterleben scheint keinen Sinn mehr zu machen.Es gibt jedoch Menschen, die trotz oder vielleicht wegen der großen Not, eine scheinbar übermenschliche Kraft aufbringen, Großes zu vollbringen. Einer davon ist der evangelische Schriftsteller und Theologe Johannes Daniel Falk (1768–1826). Seine Frau und er verloren durch Typhus im Jahr 1813 kurz nacheinander vier ihrer zehn Kinder. In der Folge nahm das Ehepaar über 30 Kriegswaisen in ihrer Wohnung auf, die sie kaum ernähren konnten. Dort richteten sie für die notleidenden Kinder auch eine Schule ein. 1819 dann ein erneuter Schicksalsschlag: Ein weiterer Sohn starb mit 19 Jahren. Drei Jahre später raubte der Tod die sechzehnjährige Tochter. Die Familie nahm weiter verwaiste Kinder auf und bezog den verfallenen Lutherhof in Weimar, da ihr bisheriger Vermieter die vielen Kinder nicht mehr dulden wollte. Dort gründete Falk das »Rettungshaus für verwahrloste Kinder«.Der Erziehungsstil Falks war seiner Zeit weit voraus. Er verzichtete auf drakonische Strafen, die bei Fehlverhalten von Kindern zu dieser Zeit üblich waren, und setzte stattdessen auf Freiheit, Liebe und Annahme. Sein Zeitgenosse Goethe nannte ihn den »Pädagogen verwilderter Kinder«. Falks Engagement für Kinder wurde zum Vorbild für einige noch heute betriebene Kinderheime, wie z. B. das »Rauhe Haus« in Hamburg. Falk gilt als Begründer der modernen Sozialpädagogik auf christlicher Grundlage.Daniela BernhardDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.deAudioaufnahmen: Radio Segenswelle

Franse en Belgische troepen bezetten het Ruhrgebied, het industriële hart van Duitsland. De regering roept op tot passieve weerstand — en het land komt tot stilstand. Fabrieken sluiten, geld verliest zijn waarde, en miljoenen Duitsers belanden in armoede. De jonge Weimarrepubliek wankelt. In deze aflevering van De Geschiedenisreis onderzoeken we hoe de bezetting, de hyperinflatie en het wantrouwen van 1923 Duitsland voorgoed veranderden. Zend een leuk bericht (reactie niet mogelijk).Support the showWord Historicus lid van De Geschiedenisreis!Heb je genoten van deze aflevering?

I denne serien vender vi tilbake til Aleister Crowley – «det store udyret 666» – og hans år i Weimar-tidens Berlin. Mellom 1929 og 1932 forsøkte Crowley å forene kunst, magi og vilje i en by der rus, sex og nyskapning fløt fritt. Dette var begynnelsen på slutten for magikeren, omgitt av galskap, skandaler og økonomisk kaos – men også en av de mest fascinerende periodene i livet hans.https://www.patreon.com/taakeprat Hosted on Acast.

Michael Mross prognostiziert Gold bei 10.000 € die Unze – und das ist nur eine Zwischenstation auf dem Weg nach oben. Während die Notenbanken die Kontrolle verlieren und die Schulden weltweit auf 300 Billionen Dollar zurasen, warnt er vor einer Hyperinflation wie in Weimar. Erfahre, warum Gold die einzige echte anonyme Währung in einer Welt totaler Überwachung ist und warum wir am Anfang eines historischen Mega-Bullruns stehen, den kaum jemand auf dem Schirm hat.

Handyverbot, hitzige Wortgefechte und viel Kritik: Im Berliner Haus der Kulturen der Welt diskutierten Jan Böhmermann und Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer über Kunst, Politik und Sprache.

Folge 287: Höchste Zeit, dass wir uns mit der Toccata d-Moll einem der populärsten Bach-Werke widmen. Aber ist das Stück überhaupt von Bach? Und falls ja, gehört es nach Arnstadt?

November 1918. Duitsland wankelt tussen revolutie en orde. Terwijl arbeiders en soldatenraden de straat op gaan, kiest SPD-leider Friedrich Ebert voor samenwerking met het leger. In een geheim pact met generaal Wilhelm Groener wordt de basis gelegd voor de jonge republiek. Maar de prijs is hoog: gewelddadige opstanden, harde onderdrukking en een kwetsbare democratie.

London's Blitz club in 1980 had a huge impact on the way the decade looked and sounded, the launchpad for Boy George, Spandau Ballet, a new age of electro-pop and many writers, designers and photographers. The author and broadcaster Robert Elms was one of its cornerstones, “a place for people who'd outgrown the 20th Century”. We talk here about his book ‘Blitz: the Club That Created the ‘80s' with all of this on the dancefloor … … the Blitz Club rules, “unspoken until Steve Strange spoke them”. And the door policy: “Look at yourself, darling. Would YOU let yourself in?” … first nights “with a Space Cossack shirt and asymmetric wedge” and the origin of the term New Romantic … the rise of the “home-made Macaronis” (dictionary definition: “over-dressed popinjays of dubious sexuality”) … Bowie's Starman, Roxy, soul, disco, Weimar, Max Ernst, Otto Dix, Edith Piaf, Swinging London, Andy Warhol and other keys strands of Blitz DNA … its anti-rock stance and impact on the mid-‘80s American charts … the news-friendly night Mick Jagger was barred entry … “I was spat at by an old lady at a bus stop for wearing eyeliner and a kilt” … when Island offered Spandau a deal after just three numbers … the role of the Face, Smash Hits and the new full-colour media … the author's “dilettante” passage through skinhead, suedehead, soul boy and punk … and the night Bowie appeared, “like Jesus walking into your local church and sitting in a pew”.

In this episode, Janice Campbell sits down with Professor Carol Reynolds to explore the powerful role music and the arts play in a child's education. Together, they unpack how music isn't just a “nice extra,” but an essential part of helping kids connect with history, science, and even math. Carol shares how rhythm, sound, and story all work together to shape not only knowledge, but also confidence and joy in learning. If you've ever wondered how to integrate music and literature more fully into your homeschool, or you're looking for encouragement that it's not too late to begin, this conversation will inspire you. By the end, you'll be reminded that education is about more than checking boxes—it's about nurturing the soul through beauty, rhythm, and story. About Carol Professor Carol Reynolds is a much sought-after public speaker for arts venues, homeschool conferences, and general audiences. She combines insights on music history, arts, and culture with her passion for arts education to create programs and curricula, inspires concert audiences, and lead art tours. Never dull or superficial, Carol brings to her audiences a unique blend of humor, substance, and skilled piano performance to make the arts more accessible and meaningful to audiences of all ages. Carol has led art tours to Russia, Poland, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, San Francisco, and Broadway on behalf of several arts organizations and has recently teamed with Smithsonian Journeys for cruises to the Holy Land, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Baltic Sea, Indian Ocean, and across the Atlantic. Her enthusiasm and boundless energy give tour participants an unforgettable experience. For more than 20 years, Carol was Associate Professor of Music History at the Meadows School of the Arts, Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. She now makes her home in North Carolina with her husband, Hank, and her daughter and grandchildren. Hank and Carol maintain a second residence in Weimar, Germany — the home of Goethe, Schiller, Bach, and Liszt, and the focal point of much of Europe's artistic heritage.

Folge 285: Besser hätte es nicht laufen können: Als 18-jähriger bekommt Bach an der Neuen Kirche in Arnstadt seine erste Stelle, dazu gleich eine neu errichtete Orgel und ein angemessenes Gehalt.

First: a warning from history Politics moving increasingly from the corridors of power into the streets, economic insecurity exacerbating tensions and the centre of politics failing to hold; these are just some of the echoes from Weimar Germany that the Spectator's editor Michael Gove sees when looking at present-day Britain. But, he says, ‘there are grounds for hope' – what are they? Michael joined the podcast to discuss.   Next: why did science succumb to the ‘culture wars'? Biologist and peer Matt Ridley bemoans the ‘cultification of science', arguing that ‘left-wing ideological nonsense' ended up permeating through all scientific disciplines. Thinking ‘neutral facts' were safe, Matt admits he – and colleagues – may have been naïve as one by one different battlefields emerged. Matt joined the podcast to discuss. Has science thrown off the shackles of the ‘culture wars'?And finally: how many books have you read?Emily Hill delves into the world of competitive reading this week – the rise of people publicising the books they've read, particularly through social media. Emily calls this ‘conspicuous' and notes it appears to be a trend amongst mainly female influencers. But is this solely performative or – in a world of diminishing attention spans – could the trend be promoting the act of reading? Emily joined the podcast alongside BookTok blogger Lucas Oakeley.Plus: Mark Mason provides his notes on guided walks.

If the ties that bind the republic are disintegrating, imperiling the survival of American democracy, there may be something to learn from the collapse of a European polity 100 years ago. The Weimar Republic was eviscerated by hyper-polarization, national traumas, and economic shocks, leading to the rise of Adolf Hitler. Is this the right place to look? In this episode, David Abraham, an expert in European history and political economy, tells us where this trendy analogy is effective and where it falls short.

Comienza la Sexta Temporada de Grandes Maricas de la Historia, y lo hacemos ni más ni menos que con todo un Nobel de literatura. Thomas Mann fue mucho más que el Nobel solemne y el patriarca de la literatura alemana: fue un hombre atravesado por un deseo que nunca se atrevió a confesar en público. En este episodio recorremos su vida, desde su infancia burguesa en Lübeck hasta su exilio en Estados Unidos, pasando por la Alemania de Bismarck, los cabarets de la República de Weimar y el miedo bajo el nazismo. Sus diarios y cartas revelan lo que la crítica intentó negar durante décadas: que detrás del traje impecable y la prosa monumental había un hombre que amó y deseó a otros hombres. Hablaremos de su obsesión con Paul Ehrenberg, de la fascinación por el joven polaco Władysław Moes —el Tadzio de La muerte en Venecia— y del último fulgor por Franz Westermeier, un camarero suizo. Veremos cómo su sexualidad se reflejó en sus novelas, en su silencio público y en sus contradicciones privadas. Con humor, rigor y sin censura, abrimos temporada reivindicando a Thomas Mann como lo que fue: un genio literario, sí, pero también una gran marica de la historia.

Dass sich die westlichen Mächte in der durch Kolonialismus und Überlegenheitsgefühl geprägten Einschätzung vermeintlich weniger entwickelter Länder oftmals täuschten, thematisiert der heutige Artikel aus dem Hamburger Anzeiger vom 18. September. Galt vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg das Osmanische Reich als „Kranker Mann am Bosporus“ und China als ressourcenreiches Land, das sich mit einem geringen militärischen Aufwand kontrollieren ließe, so stellte sich das Kräfteverhältnis 1925 bereits anders dar. Der junge Staat Türkei rang mit den Engländern um die Vormachtstellung im heutigen Irak und China konnten die Kolonialmächte nicht mehr ihren Willen durch militärische Macht aufzwingen. Der Autor dieser Einschätzung der Lage ist Paul Rohrbach einer der meistgelesenen kolonial- und außenpolitischen Kommentatoren von Weimar. Er vertrat großdeutsche und kolonialistische Ziele für Deutschland und engagierte sich in der Akademie zur wissenschaftlichen Erforschung und Pflege des Deutschtums – ist also dem rechten Spektrum der politischen Landschaft zuzuordnen. Zugleich belegt seine Person aber, dass seine Ansichten trotz teilweiser ideologischer Überschneidung nicht automatisch in den Schoß der NSDAP führten. Rohrbach protestierte gegen die Machtübernahme und zog sich dann aus der Politik zurück. Es liest Frank Riede.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community What happens when trust in money dies? History shows it’s never gentle. From Rome’s slow debasement of silver to Weimar’s wheelbarrows of paper, every fiat collapse follows the same pattern: debasement → recognition → flight → failure. In this episode, we explore The Great Melt-Up — the moment when the illusion of stability shatters, and people rush to exchange paper promises for anything real: bread, fuel, gold, real estate, even Bitcoin. We’ll trace the cycle across centuries, uncover why inflation isn’t an accident but deliberate policy, and explain how it flips the script — savers lose, debtors win, and wealth shifts silently but brutally. Most importantly, we’ll zoom in on today: Why some currencies collapse overnight… and others rot slowly for centuries The hidden laws that drive people to hoard, dump, or flee money when trust breaks How gold, property, and even debt can flip from liabilities to lifelines in a melt-up The eerie pattern linking Rome’s denarius, Weimar’s marks, and today’s dollars This isn’t theory. It’s a timeless sequence — and it’s happening now. Fiat is the guillotine. Assets are the ladder. The choice is yours. See you on the inside.

Always do your own research and seek independent professional advice before making any investment or financial decisions. – SERIES: Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) Have you noticed that, no matter how hard you work, it feels harder to get ahead? Wages look bigger, property prices keep climbing, and the headlines say Australia is richer than ever. But for many households, the reality is the opposite — pay rises don’t stretch, saving feels impossible, and the dream of home ownership slips further away. In this new mini-series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) — we expose the hidden forces behind the squeeze: from the illusion of prosperity created by money supply growth, to the widening divides between owners and non-owners, to the strategies you can use to protect yourself and build real wealth today. Over five episodes, we’ll peel back the layers: The Illusion of Prosperity — why this “boom” is really a squeeze. The Crack-Up Boom — what happens when trust in money itself starts to collapse? The New Divide — who wins and who loses when inflation silently redistributes wealth? How to Protect Yourself — the new playbook for building real wealth in an age of erosion. Beyond Money — why true prosperity isn’t just financial, and how to live well now. The old rules no longer work: work hard, save diligently, and expect security. The new rules are here. And in this series, we’ll show you how to use them to your advantage. -- RESOURCES TO HELP: Looking for a team to partner with you in your portfolio building journey?

Der Ku-Klux-Klan in der Weimarer Republik! Eben einen solchen Ableger des rassistischen und militanten U.S.-Amerikanischen Geheimbundes mit dem Namen „Orden der Ritter vom feurigen Kreuz“ hatte die Berliner Kriminalpolizei aufgelöst und zahlreiche Verhaftungen vorgenommen. Während das Pinneberger Tageblatt in unserer gestrigen Folge eine potentielle Gefährlichkeit dieses Bundes herausgestellte, klassifizierte der Hamburgische Correspondent am 11. September 1925 den deutschen Klan als wenig ernstzunehmende von Betrügern aus Profitgier begründete Organisation. Wo genau dazwischen die Wahrheit zu finden ist, ist kaum zu sagen. Die Tatsache, dass alle in diesem Kontext Angeklagten im Jahre 1926 vom Präsidenten Hindenburg durch eine Amnestie einer weiteren juristischen Verfolgung entzogen wurden, kann aber kaum als Argument für eine Harmlosigkeit der Gruppierung gelten. Es liest Frank Riede.

Am 10. September 1925 sorgte die Berliner Kriminalpolizei mit einer Pressekonferenz für eine Sensation, indem sie von der Existenz und der Bekämpfung des „Ordens der Ritter vom feurigen Kreuz“ berichtete. Dieser Geheimbund soll nach dem Vorbild des amerikanischen Ku-Klux-Klan gebildet worden sein, unter Mitwirkung von Klan-Mitgliedern aus Übersee. Alle Tageszeitungen griffen diese Meldung auf, positionierten sich ganz unterschiedlich dazu, wie sehr diese Organisation, der eine Verbindung zu Fememorden im Umfeld des Küstriner Putschversuches zur Last gelegt wurde, ernst zu nehmen sei. Das Pinneberger Tageblatt war sich am selbigen Tage sicher, dass bei diesem „Ableger“ des Klans in Deutschaland ganz viel Mummenschanz dabei war, nahm aber die von der Polizei ermittelte personelle Überschneidung von völkischen Gruppierungen und diesem Geheimbund durchaus ernst. In unserer morgigen Folge präsentieren wir dann einen anderen Blick auf den Weimarer Ku-Klux-Klan. Heute liest Rosa Leu.

La violencia impone sus normas en demasiados rincones de nuestro mapa y de nuestro presente. A gran escala, pero también en los microcosmos. ¿Y si la aparición de un ángel fuera posible para torcer la lógica del mal? Ese anhelo late en la mirada de Alberto Morais, que regresa al cine con 'La terra negra', su quinto largometraje. La película se adentra en un terreno áspero y cargado de preguntas sobre nuestra capacidad de resiliencia frente al dolor y la injusticia.Tras este arranque, el programa se centra en los estrenos de la semana junto a Conxita Casanovas. Entre ellos, 'Romería' de Carla Simón, que compite por representar a España en los Oscar; 'El talento', un drama protagonizado por Ester Expósito y Pedro Casablanc; 'April', procedente de Georgia y centrada en la violencia obstétrica; y 'Acosada', un relato francés sobre inseguridades maritales, relaciones pasadas y autoestima.Desde Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Jonay estrena sección con un espacio de reflexión sobre el mundo actual a través de notas musicales creadas en su piano, convirtiendo la música en un lenguaje de pensamiento.La actualidad internacional sigue en Italia, con la Mostra de Venecia cubierta por Jordi Barcia, y en paralelo se recuerda el fallecimiento de Giorgio Armani y el centenario del nacimiento de Andrea Camilleri, dos figuras clave de la cultura italiana.En Alemania, Beatriz Domínguez nos acerca al centenario de la Bauhaus. Hace cien años, en 1925, la escuela de arquitectura y diseño fundada por Walter Gropius se trasladaba de Weimar a Dessau, marcando una época de innovación que aún resuena.El programa concluye con otra nueva sección: Elena Rosillo abre una ventana al mundo de la cultura underground, explorando propuestas artísticas que nacen desde los márgenes para interpelar al presente.Escuchar audio

Today's epic political trial is the one that should have been the end of Adolf Hitler but ended up being the making of him: his treason trial in 1924 for the so-called Beer Hall Putsch. How close did Hitler's attempted coup come to succeeding? Why was he allowed to turn the court that tried him into a platform for his poisonous politics? What were the missed opportunities to silence him once and for all? Out now on PPF+: Part 2 of David's conversation with Fintan O'Toole about the Easter Rising trials of 1916 – here they explore the treason trial of Sir Roger Casement and the question of what makes a traitor.

Kate Adie presents stories from Ukraine, Greenland, the US and Germany.Ukraine has this week come under its heaviest bombardment in weeks, with the UK and the EU summoning their Russian envoys after their offices in Kyiv were hit. Quentin Sommerville has been in Donetsk, the area Vladimir Putin wants to fully control in the resource rich region of the Donbas, as residents flee attacks and soldiers tell of the intensification of the battle there.Greenland's status has been thrust into the spotlight after the US president has repeatedly said he wanted to annexe the semi-autonomous nation for its strategic position and mineral wealth. And despite having broad self-government since 1979, Greenland's foreign and defence policy is made in Copenhagen. On an island of just over 55,000 people, where fishing is the primary source of income, independence for Greenland would mean either increasing tourism or allowing the mining of minerals like rare earth metals. Bob Howard has been to the capital Nuuk.In the US, a record number of people are being held in immigrant detention, following President Trump's crackdown. One controversial site has become the subject of several lawsuits attempting to shut it down: Alligator Alcatraz in Florida. Josephine Casserly reports from the centre, which sits on an abandoned airstrip amid the marshes, forests, mangroves and estuaries and wildlife of the Everglades.James Naughtie has been in the German city of Weimar, at a cultural festival in the state of Thuringia in Eastern Germany – which reflects on the historical legacy of the Weimar Republic. Among the performances and installations, he found echoes of the past in the present.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinator: Rosie Strawbridge Editor: Richard Vadon

Urban Planning in Nazi Germany: Attack, Triumph, Terror in the European Context, 1933–1945 (DOM, 2025) is edited by Uwe Altrock, Harald Bodenschatz, Victoria Grau, Jannik Noeske, Christiane Post, and Max Welch Guerra. The book includes contributions from Christian von Oppen, Piero Sassi, and Jannik Noeske.  Two co-editors, Victoria Grau and Max Welch Guerra, join the New Books Network to discuss this work. In this book, urban planning under the Nazi dictatorship is for the first time examined not only as something that evolved during the different periods of Nazi rule but also in the context of other European dictatorships of the time. The period between 1933 and 1945 saw important changes in the focus of Nazi urban planning. These affected the cast of principal actors, the content of the regime's propaganda, cities and areas affected, programs and practices, and winners and losers. The result of this survey is a multi-layered picture that goes beyond the usual presentation of well-known power-projecting buildings to consider a range of other important aspects including housing construction, urban renewal, internal colonization, buildings for rearmament, large-scale infrastructure, industrial areas, educational institutions, and camps. This volume marks the conclusion of a series of academic publications about urban planning and dictatorship – in the Soviet Union, Italy, Portugal and Spain. Urban Planning in Nazi Germany: Attack, Triumph, Terror in the European Context, 1933-1945 is the English language edition of Stadtbau im Nationalsozialismus: Angriff, Triumph, Terror im europäischen Kontext, 1933–1945. Guests: Victoria Grau is a researcher in the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Sen. Prof. Dr. Max Welch Guerra is the Chair of Spatial Planning and Spatial Research at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Host:    Jenna Pittman (she/her), a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Duke University. She studies modern European history, political economy, and Germany from 1945-1990.

What claims could Jewish veterans make on the Nazi state by virtue of their having fought for Germany? How often did Germans treat Jewish veterans differently from Jewish men without military experience during the Weimar and Nazi periods? How did perceptions of masculinity and of Germanness intersect to shape attitudes and behaviors of Jewish veterans?   Michael Geheran's wonderful new book Comrades Betrayed: Jewish World War I Veterans under Hitler (Cornell UP, 2020) tries to understand how Jewish participation in World War I shaped their lives in 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. He uses a seemingly never-ending supply of diaries, letters, journals and other sources to paint a compelling picture of the ways in which German Jews understood their identities and influenced  their interactions with Germans and with the restrictions imposed by the Nazi Government. It raises new questions about how to periodize the Holocaust and how to think about the role of Germans--both civilian and military--in the persecution and elimination of German Jews.

Preview: Weimar Republic. Colleague Peter Berkowitz comments on a new book by Robert Kaplan that paints the present three empires, DC, Moscow, Beijing, as incoherent like Weimar. More tomorrow. 1927 BRITISH EMPIRE

In the mid-1930s, Nazi Germany was drawing curious—and sometimes admiring—glances from parts of the Western world. The new regime was cracking down on the cultural decadence that had taken root during Germany's Weimar years. British tourists poured in—hundreds of thousands each year—many leaving with admiration for the “new” Germany. Among these were influential British figures like writer Wyndham Lewis and Daily Mail owner Lord Rothermere, who praised the stand the Nazis were taking against hedonism and decay. But one British visitor was not taken in by the hypocritical puritanism of the Nazis, or any other aspect of the newly-empowered party. After aircraft designer R.J. Mitchell traveled to Germany in 1934, he returned home not with admiration, but with deep alarm. Behind the façade of moral reform, he saw a nation arming itself at breakneck speed—and a threat that could soon strike Britain. Determined to prepare his country for the storm ahead, Mitchell spent his final years pouring his genius into the creation of a masterpiece of weaponry. Order your free copy of Winston S.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 169 Continuing the unique New Discourses treatment of the Nazi Experiment, which the Nazis proposed as a way for Germany to solve its "Weimar problems," we find ourselves having just learned that the Nazi "World Concept" (worldview or weltanschauung) is "racialist." But what does it contain? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes us backwards into Chapter 11 of Volume 1 of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf to explain exactly what Hitler believed the "master race" thing was about, and who it was against (you know who!). Join him to continue peeling back the layers of lies we are currently being fed about the Nazis and to learn how horrifying their "experiment" really was always intended to be. Latest book!
