By by Gerhard A. Ritter, translated by Alex Skinner
The e-book offers with the connection among Friedrich Meinecke, who's usually thought of to be the major German historian of the 1st half the 20th century, and a number of other of his scholars who, after the Nazi seizure of energy, have been pressured to to migrate as a result of their Jewish descent or their political beliefs. The letters released right here to Meinecke from Hans Rothfels, Dietrich Gerhard, Hajo Holborn, Felix Gilbert, Hans Rosenberg, and others convey those students' deep admire for his or her previous instructor, but in addition their transforming into distance from his old pursuits and techniques. In a interval of fight among democracy and Nazi dictatorship, the letters deal with the issues of emigration and remigration, German-Jewish and German-American identification, and historiography in either Germany and the us.

On a card to Brackmann of 13 June 1933, he wrote: “There can be no doubt that this spring has inflicted upon us certain things for which we could not have been prepared, but an intervention of the kind we have just seen also puts the real dimensions of life back in their proper place and makes the problems that people cause one another seem smaller” (Brackmann papers, vol. 29). 81 Meinecke to Rothfels, 8 April 1934, in: Meinecke Werke, vol. 6: Ausgewählter Briefwechsel, p. 145. 82 Haar, “Anpassung und Versuchung”, p.
It is impossible”, he wrote to the publishers on 25 October 1934, “for me to agree to the conditions laid down by Herr Berve.
