New Publication: "Herrschaft durch Schulung"
Helen’s article ‘Herrschaft durch Schulung: The Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalten im Osten and the Third Reich’s Germanising mission’ has recently been published in an edited volume entitled Nationalsozialismus und Regionalbewusstsein im östlichen Europa. Ideologie, Machtausbau, Beharrung (National Socialism and Regional Consciousness in Eastern Europe: Ideology, Construction of Power, Persistence), edited by Burkhard Olschowsky and Ingo Loose.
The essays contained in the volume examine the relationship of National Socialist territorial and population policy to regional identities in Eastern Europe. A focus is placed on the role of “Auslandsdeutschen” (ethnic Germans in foreign countries), including their relationships to their nations of residence and to the Third Reich.
