Una nueva tragedia ha caído sobre Israel. El odio contra los judíos es algo ancestral. Se les ha perseguido, torturado y asesinado durante siglos. La culminación de ese proceso fue el Holocausto. Es uno de los acontecimientos más terribles de la Historia de la Humanidad. El exterminio sistemático de todo un pueblo. La Alemania gobernada por Hitler, que alcanzó el poder con el voto de millones de alemanes, estableció un proceso destinado a acabar con todos los judíos. El objetivo era asesinar a más de 10 millones, pero solo consiguieron alcanzar la cifra de 6 millones, dos tercios de los que vivían en Europa en 1939. La «Solución Final» fue el asesinato masivo, deliberado y sistemático de judíos dentro del periodo que conocemos como el Holocausto. Hace unos años leí la interesante obra «No solo Hitler» (Crítica) de Robert Gellately. Es cómodo centrar la culpa en uno de los mayores criminales de la Historia, pero también es bueno tener presente que contó con un amplio apoyo social. No lo hizo solo. Mucha gente sabía y otra mucha no quería saber, aunque era evidente lo que estaba sucediendo. Muchos alemanes de origen judío habían luchado en la Primera Guerra Mundial y habían prestado grandes servicios en la economía, la cultura y la política, pero esto no impidió que fueran masacrados. Las leyes de segregación racial de Nuremberg se aprobaron con notable aceptación.

Há muitas maneiras de desviar o foco de questões polêmicas ou controversas, o que não seria diferente com a guerra da Ucrânia. / Fonte utilizada pelo Neoliberais Brasil: Lenin, Stálin e Hitler: a era da catástrofe social, de Robert Gellately.

In this episode, we talk with one of the foremost historians on modern Europe, Dr. Robert Gellately, about his book, "Hitler's True Believers: How Ordinary People Became Nazis." He explains not only how Hitler took power, but how his personality, economic program, and world events helped him win the support of millions of people. Dr. Gellately describes how Germany's post-WWI shame and struggling economy left a void for Hitler to fill. Was anti-Semitism a feature or a side-effect of Hitler's rise?Dr. Gellately also explains what ordinary Germans knew about concentration camps and when they knew it, as well as whether the people of Germany regretted their country's actions even after WWII was over. His explanations will surprise you.Reach us on Twitter and Insta @axelbankhistory

It takes two to tango, right? Indeed it does. But it’s also true that someone has got to ask someone else to dance before any tangoing is done. Beginning in the 1960s, the American intellectual elite argued–and seemed to really believe–that the United States either started the Cold War full stop or played a very important (and knowing) role in setting it in motion. That consensus (if it was a consensus) has been destroyed by the work of a raft of historians who, having gotten fresh access to materials from the Soviet side, are now offering fresh–and revisionist–interpretations of the beginnings of the Cold War. One such historian is Robert Gellately. In his new book Stalin’s Curse: Battling for Communism in War and Cold War (Knopf, 2013), Gellately argues that Stalin saw the world in binary terms: there were capitalists and communists. ALL the capitalists were bad. This was obviously true of the Nazi Germans. But it was also true of his wartime allies, the Democratic Americans, British, and French. So when the war against the Germans was won, Stalin knew just what to do: stay the course and continue fighting for world communism against the capitalist imperialists. And, according to Gellately, that’s just what he did, beginning the Cold War and nearly making it hot one a number of occasions. Listen in to our fascinating discussion.

Today we’re pleased to feature an interview with Robert Gellately of Florida State University. Professor Gellately is a distinguished and widely read historian of Germany, with a particular focus on the Nazi period. He’s the author of a number of path-breaking books, including The Politics of Economic Despair: Shopkeepers and German Politics, 1890-1914 (Sage Publications, 1974), The Gestapo and German Society: Enforcing Racial Policy, 1933-1945 (Oxford University Press, 1990), and Backing Hitler: Consent and Coercion in Nazi Germany, 1933-1945 (Oxford University Press, 2001). Today we’ll be discussing his most recent work Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler: The Age of Social Catastrophe (Alfred A. Knopf, 2007). Richard Pipes says of the book: “A most impressive account of the tragedies that befell the world during the first half of the twentieth century. Not the least merit of the book is that, unlike most historians who treat Lenin as a well-meaning idealist, he places him along side Stalin and Hitler as a founder of modern barbarism.” I couldn’t agree more.
