The Hamburg Institute for Social Research is an independent private foundation devoted to scholarship in contemporary history and the social sciences. Through research projects, conferences, lectures, and other academic and public events conducted by the Institute, staff members promote intellectual exchange across geographical and disciplinary borders and beyond academia. The German Army and Genocide: Crimes Against War Prisoners, Jews, and Other Civilians, 1939–1944 (The New Press) is based on a three-year exhibit at the Institute of newly discovered documents and photographs culled from archives across Europe.
