Beskrivning

The book deals with the relationship between Friedrich Meinecke, who is often considered to be the leading German historian of the first half of the twentieth century, and several of his students who, after the Nazi seizure of power, were forced to emigrate because of their Jewish descent or their political views. The letters published here to Meinecke from Hans Rothfels, Dietrich Gerhard, Hajo Holborn, Felix Gilbert, Hans Rosenberg, and others show these scholars' deep respect for their old teacher, but also their growing distance from his historical interests and methods. In a period of struggle between democracy and Nazi dictatorship, the letters address the problems of emigration and remigration, German-Jewish and German-American identity, and historiography in both Germany and the United States.

Recensioner i media

There is little to criticize in this edition, which is meticulously annotated, and makes entirely fascinating reading....will surely become a very important edition for anyone interested in exile historiographies and the transatlantic interplay between North American and West German historiographies after 1945 in particular.Stefan Berger, The Journal of Modern History, Vol. 84, No. 2, The Jew in the Modern European Imaginary (June 2012), 517-519
