Book Synopsis The Third Reich and the Palestine Question by : Francis R. Nicosia
Download or read book The Third Reich and the Palestine Question written by Francis R. Nicosia and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to ensure its racial, ideological, and strategic interests, the Hitler regime actively supported the status quo in Palestine and the Middle East during the interwar period. This included the perpetuation of British imperial power in Palestine, the Jewish National Home (not an independent Jewish state) promised by the Balfour Declaration, and the rejection of Arab self-determination and independence. The Third Reich and the Palestine Question is the first comprehensive study of German Palestine policy during the 1930s. Francis R. Nicosia places that policy within the context of historical German interests and aims in Palestine, the Middle East, and Europe from the Wilhelminian era through the Weimar period and the Third Reich. He also provides insight into the broader foreign policy aims and calculations of the Nazi regime throughout the Arab Middle East before World War II. In a new introduction, Nicosia places his ground-breaking research in its proper historical perspective. He reviews some of the recent literature on the history of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. He also discusses some of the archival materials that have recently become available in the former German Democratic Republic and Soviet Union. "Nicosia has written the definitive study of this fascinatingepoch in the histories of the participants. It is a masterful examination of every interwoven thread in the complicated tapestry of Nazi Germany's relations with the Middle East, as well as with Great Britain and the Zionist movement."--Arnold Krammer, American Historical Review "The tight structure of the book, lucid narrative, and exhaustive use of relevant sources lend this book a definitive character."--Martin Kramer, Middle Eastern Studies "A masterly piece of scholarship, Nicosia's historical study defines the aims and purposes of Nazi foreign policy toward Palestine in the thirties A valuable addition to an often neglected area of Holocaust studies."--Dimensions, A Journal of Holocaust Studies Francis R. Nicosia is professor of history at St. Michael's College in Colchester, Vermont.

Book Synopsis Nazism, the Holocaust, and the Middle East by : Francis R. Nicosia
Download or read book Nazism, the Holocaust, and the Middle East written by Francis R. Nicosia and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given their geographical separation from Europe, ethno-religious and cultural diversity, and subordinate status within the Nazi racial hierarchy, Middle Eastern societies were both hospitable as well as hostile to National Socialist ideology during the 1930s and 1940s. By focusing on Arab and Turkish reactions to German anti-Semitism and the persecution and mass-murder of European Jews during this period, this expansive collection surveys the institutional and popular reception of Nazism in the Middle East and North Africa. It provides nuanced and scholarly yet accessible case studies of the ways in which nationalism, Islam, anti-Semitism, and colonialism intertwined, all while sensitive to the region’s political, cultural, and religious complexities.

Download or read book The Third Reich written by Martin Kitchen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelve years of the Third Reich casts a dark shadow over history. Fierce debates still rage over many of the hows, whys and wherefores of this perplexing period. Leading expert on German history, Martin Kitchen, provides a concise, accessible and provocative account of Nazi Germany. It takes into account the political, social, economic and cultural ramifications, and sets it within the context of the times, while pointing out those areas that still defy our understanding. This lively account addresses major issues such as the reasons for Hitler’s extraordinary popularity, his hold over the German people even when all seemed lost, the role of ideology, the cooption of the elites, and the descent into war for race and space, culminating in the horrors of the holocaust.
Book Synopsis Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World by : Jeffrey Herf
Download or read book Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World written by Jeffrey Herf and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeffrey Herf, a leading scholar in the field, offers the most extensive examination to date of Nazi propaganda activities targeting Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East during World War II and the Holocaust. He draws extensively on previously unused and little-known archival resources, including the shocking transcriptions of the “Axis Broadcasts in Arabic” radio programs, which convey a strongly anti-Semitic message. Herf explores the intellectual, political, and cultural context in which German and European radical anti-Semitism was found to resonate with similar views rooted in a selective appropriation of the traditions of Islam. Pro-Nazi Arab exiles in wartime Berlin, including Haj el-Husseini and Rashid el-Kilani, collaborated with the Nazis in constructing their Middle East propaganda campaign. By integrating the political and military history of the war in the Middle East with the intellectual and cultural dimensions of the propagandistic diffusion of Nazi ideology, Herf offers the most thorough examination to date of this important chapter in the history of World War II. Importantly, he also shows how the anti-Semitism promoted by the Nazi propaganda effort contributed to the anti-Semitism exhibited by adherents of radical forms of Islam in the Middle East today.
Book Synopsis Jewish Life in Nazi Germany by : Francis R. Nicosia
Download or read book Jewish Life in Nazi Germany written by Francis R. Nicosia and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German Jews faced harsh dilemmas in their responses to Nazi persecution, partly a result of Nazi cruelty and brutality but also a result of an understanding of their history and rightful place in Germany. This volume addresses the impact of the anti-Jewish policies of Hitler's regime on Jewish family life, Jewish women, and the existence of Jewish organizations and institutions and considers some of the Jewish responses to Nazi anti-Semitism and persecution. This volume offers scholars, students, and interested readers a highly accessible but focused introduction to Jewish life under National Socialism, the often painful dilemmas that it produced, and the varied Jewish responses to those dilemmas.
Book Synopsis The Right to Resist by : Hichem Karoui
Download or read book The Right to Resist written by Hichem Karoui and published by Global East-West. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do so many outstanding Jewish brains (Einstein, Marx, Freud, Asimov, Arendt, Chomsky, etc.) oppose Zionism and Israel? Because they are aware of the covert alliance between Zionism and fascism. While exploring and analysing the themes of resistance throughout history, this book sheds light on these truths that the Israeli state and its Western patrons have kept hidden. Some of the main topics addressed: The book argues that there was a "secret liaison" and alliance between certain Zionist leaders and fascist regimes, especially Mussolini's Italy, during the pre-World War II period. It contends that pragmatic Zionist leaders like Ze'ev Jabotinsky collaborated with Mussolini out of self-interest despite ideological differences. They sought support for Jewish emigration and colonisation of Palestine. The book particularly highlights the 1933 Haavara Agreement as an example of Zionist-Nazi collaboration. This allowed some Jewish emigration from Germany in exchange for Zionist economic support of the Nazi regime. It argues this represented an "original sin" that compromised the moral foundations of Zionism due to collaboration with fascists and Nazis. The book argues that political Zionism has strong parallels with European colonialism and should be resisted on similar moral grounds. It views Zionism as a form of settler colonialism imposed on the indigenous Palestinian population. It contends that the Zionist movement strategically aligned itself with various imperialist powers to advance its colonial ambitions in Palestine, including Britain and later the United States. The book is highly critical of the collusion between Zionism and imperialism, arguing it undermines the moral legitimacy of the Zionist project in Palestine. It asserts that the Zionist occupation and oppression of Palestinians should be recognised as a grave injustice and condemned, just as South African apartheid eventually was. The book explores the concept of resistance. Here are some topics analysed: Anti-communism was a major form of ideological resistance, especially in the United States. This included McCarthyism and the Red Scare, where individuals and groups suspected of communist ties were targeted. Dissident movements arose within communist countries, pushing back against authoritarian rule and restrictions on civil liberties. Examples include the Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia in 1968 and the Solidarity movement in Poland in the 1980s. Student protest movements in the 1960s opposed both capitalism and communism. Groups like the New Left advocated for a more egalitarian society not defined by the Cold War binary. Decolonisation movements in Asia, Africa and Latin America resisted both superpowers' attempts to exert influence and control over newly independent countries. Leaders like Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam and Fidel Castro in Cuba embraced communism but asserted national autonomy. The civil rights, anti-war, and feminist movements in the U.S. challenged the political and social status quo. Activists resisted forms of oppression and inequality rooted in capitalist systems. Artists, writers, and intellectuals used culture as a form of resistance. Figures like Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Václav Havel criticised totalitarianism and censorship in their writings. Religious groups like the Catholic Church in Poland and Liberation Theology movements in Latin America resisted communist restrictions on religion. The book is the first volume of a collection: "Resistances".
Book Synopsis The Secret War for the Middle East by : Youssef Aboul-Enein
Download or read book The Secret War for the Middle East written by Youssef Aboul-Enein and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It can be argued that the Middle East during the World War II has been regarded as that conflict’s most overlooked theater of operations. Though the threat of direct Axis invasion never materialized beyond the Egyptian Western Desert with Rommel’s Afrika Korps, this did not limit the Axis from probing the Middle East and cultivating potential collaborators and sympathizers. These actions left an indelible mark in the socio-political evolution of the modern states of the Middle East. This book explores the infusion of the political language of anti-Semitism, nationalism, fascism, and Marxism that were among the ideological byproducts of Axis and Allied intervention in the Arab world. The status of British-dominated Middle East was tailor-made for exploitation by Axis intelligence and propaganda. German and Italian intelligence efforts fueled anti-British resentments; their influence shaped the course of Arab nationalist sentiments throughout the Middle East. A relevant parallel to the pan-Arab cause was Hitler’s attempt to bring ethnic Germans into the fold of a greater German state. In theory, as the Sudeten German stood on par with the Carpathian German, so too, according to doctrinal theory, did the Yemeni stand in union with the Syrian in the imagination of those espousing pan-Arabism. As historic evidence demonstrates, this very commonality proved to be a major factor in the development of relations between Arab and Fascist leaders. The Arab nationalist movement amounted to nothing more than a shapeless, fragmented, counter position to British imperialism, imported to the Arab East via Berlin for Nazi aspirations.
Book Synopsis Britain's Moment in Palestine by : Michael J Cohen
Download or read book Britain's Moment in Palestine written by Michael J Cohen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1917, the British issued the Balfour Declaration for military and strategic reasons. This book analyses why and how the British took on the Palestine Mandate. It explores how their interests and policies changed during its course and why they evacuated the country in 1948. During the first decade of the Mandate the British enjoyed an influx of Jewish capital mobilized by the Zionists which enabled them not only to fund the administration of Palestine, but also her own regional imperial projects. But in the mid-1930s, as the clouds of World War Two gathered, Britain’s commitment to Zionism was superseded by the need to secure her strategic assets in the Middle East. In consequence she switched to a policy of appeasing the Arabs. In 1947, Britain abandoned her attempts to impose a settlement in Palestine that would be acceptable to the Arab States and referred Palestine to the United Nations, without recommendations, leaving the antagonists to settle their conflict on the battlefield. Based on archival sources, and the most up-to-date scholarly research, this comprehensive history offers new insights into Arab, British and Zionist policies. It is a must-read for anyone with an interest in Palestine, Israel, British Colonialism and the Middle East in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixth volume of the annual publication of the Institute for Contemporary Jewry at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Art and Its Uses analyzes the levels of meaning present in a wide range of visual images, from high art by Jewish artists to Judaica, caricatures, and political propaganda.

Book Synopsis The Passion of Max Von Oppenheim by : Lionel Gossman
Download or read book The Passion of Max Von Oppenheim written by Lionel Gossman and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born into a prominent German Jewish banking family, Baron Max von Oppenheim (1860-1946) was a keen amateur archaeologist and ethnologist. His discovery and excavation of Tell Halaf in Syria marked an important contribution to knowledge of the ancient Middle East, while his massive study of the Bedouins is still consulted by scholars today. He was also an ardent German patriot, eager to support his country's pursuit of its "place in the sun." Excluded by his part-Jewish ancestry from the regular diplomatic service, Oppenheim earned a reputation as "the Kaiser's spy" because of his intriguing against the British in Cairo, as well as his plan, at the start of the First World War, to incite Muslims under British, French and Russian rule to a jihad against the colonial powers. After 1933, despite being half-Jewish according to the Nuremberg Laws, Oppenheim was not persecuted by the Nazis. In fact, he placed his knowledge of the Middle East and his connections with Muslim leaders at the service of the regime. Ranging widely over many fields - from war studies to archaeology and banking history - 'The Passion of Max von Oppenheim' tells the gripping and at times unsettling story of one part-Jewish man's passion for his country in the face of persistent and, in his later years, genocidal anti-Semitism.
