Winner of the Yad Vashem International Book Prize for Holocaust ResearchThe scale and the depth of Nazi brutality seem to defy understanding. What could drive people to fight, kill, and destroy with such ruthless ambition? Observers and historians have offered countless explanations since the 1930s. According to Johann Chapoutot, we need to understand better how the Nazis explained it themselves. We need a clearer view, in particular, of how they were steeped in and spread the idea that history gave them no choice: it was either kill or die.Chapoutot, one of France’s leading historians, spent years immersing himself in the texts and images that reflected and shaped the mental world of Nazi ideologues, and that the Nazis disseminated to the German public. The party had no official ur-text of ideology, values, and history. But a clear narrative emerges from the myriad works of intellectuals, apparatchiks, journalists, and movie-makers that Chapoutot explores.The story went like this: In the ancient world, the Nordic-German race lived in harmony with the laws of nature. But since Late Antiquity, corrupt foreign norms and values—Jewish values in particular—had alienated Germany from itself and from all that was natural. The time had come, under the Nazis, to return to the fundamental law of blood. Germany must fight, conquer, and procreate, or perish. History did not concern itself with right and wrong, only brute necessity. A remarkable work of scholarship and insight, The Law of Blood recreates the chilling ideas and outlook that would cost millions their lives.

Much has been written about the conditions that made possible Hitler's rise and the Nazi takeover of Germany, but when we tell the story of the National Socialist Party, should we not also speak of Julius Caesar and Pericles? Greeks, Romans, Germans argues that to fully understand the racist, violent end of the Nazi regime, we must examine its appropriation of the heroes and lessons of the ancient world. When Hitler told the assembled masses that they were a people with no past, he meant that they had no past following their humiliation in World War I of which to be proud. The Nazis' constant use of classical antiquity-in official speeches, film, state architecture, the press, and state-sponsored festivities-conferred on them the prestige and heritage of Greece and Rome that the modern German people so desperately needed. At the same time, the lessons of antiquity served as a warning: Greece and Rome fell because they were incapable of protecting the purity of their blood against mixing and infiltration. To regain their rightful place in the world, the Nazis had to make all-out war on Germany's enemies, within and without.

Adolescent, Scholem redécouvre ses racines, apprend la langue hébraïque, étudie le Talmud, les mathématiques et la philosophie, fréquente Martin Buber et les milieux Ostjuden, fait la rencontre déterminante de Walter Benjamin et réfléchit sur le sionisme.

Über 600 000 Führungskader – von BMW über Aldi bis Thyssen-Krupp – durchliefen die Akademie für Führungskräfte, die der fanatische NS-Jurist Reinhard Höhn 1956 in Bad Harzburg begründete und über Jahrzehnte hinweg leitete. Höhns beispielhafter Aufstieg zum Marketing-Guru wirft die beunruhigende Frage auf: Wie stark ist unsere Arbeitswelt noch heute vom Geist der NS-Zeit geprägt?Die NS-Kriegswirtschaft zielte konsequent auf Leistungsfähigkeit: Der Mensch wurde zum Produktionsfaktor, die "Volksgemeinschaft" gehorchte dem "Führer". Dieses Menschenbild setzte sich in der Bundesrepublik fort: Aus "Menschenführung" wurde "Management", auf die NS-Kriegsmaschinerie folgte die Massenproduktion der Konsumgesellschaft. Am Beispiel des Unternehmensberaters Reinhard Höhn legt Johann Chapoutot eine erschreckende Kontinuität im ökonomischen Denken vor und nach 1945 offen: Das Ziel unbedingter Leistungsbereitschaft zieht sich von den Vordenkern der NS-Kriegswirtschaft bis in die Handbücher der Unternehmensführung von heute.

Der renommierte Historiker und Sorbonne-Professor Johann Chapoutot seziert in diesem eindrucksvollen Werk die letzten Jahre der Weimarer Republik: Wie eine konservative Elite, getragen von Wirtschaftsinteressen, Medienmacht und antidemokratischer Haltung, den Nationalsozialisten den Weg bereitete - wider besseres Wissen. Das Ende der ersten deutschen Demokratie war, so zeigt Chapoutot, kein Zusammenbruch durch a u ere Zwa nge, sondern ein bewusster Pakt mit dem Teufel , geschlossen von einer kleinen Gruppe von Verantwortungslosen, die meinten, mit Hitler ihre Interessen durchsetzen und ihn dabei kontrollieren zu ko nnen. Gestu tzt auf neuere wie klassische Forschung, darunter auch Hermann Brochs Analyse Die Schuldlosen , bietet das Buch eine historische Nachhilfestunde mit erschreckender Aktualita t: Denn auch heute erleben wir, wie autorita re Versuchungen, Populismus und die Ausho hlung demokratischer Institutionen wieder salonfa hig werden in Frankreich, Deutschland, Europa und in den USA.

Om Hitler varken valdes till makten eller obönhörligen bars fram av krisen, vilka beslut och vilka människor gjorde då hans utnämning möjlig? Genom en noggrann läsning av politiska arkiv, dagböcker, brev, tal, pressartiklar och memoarer från tidens centrala aktörer visar den franske historikern Johann Chapoutot varför demokratins sammanbrott och nazismens triumf inte bör förstås som en historisk nödvändighet, framdriven av massarbetslöshet och politisk extremism. Det var i själva verket följden av ett medvetet val att öppna dörren för extremhögern – ett kallt kalkylerat risktagande och ett politiskt hasardspel iscensatt av en snäv krets liberalkonservativa politiker, reaktionära medier och ekonomiska eliter. De oansvariga är berättelsen om den demokratiska Weimarrepublikens fall. Men den här historien handlar inte om hur en oemotståndlig brun flodvåg svepte bort allt motstånd, utan om hur en självsäker och ansvarslös auktoritär liberalism försökte tygla och exploatera extremhögerns kraft. En historia vars lärdomar åter blivit brännande aktuella.

Tillfälligt slut
What if the rules of modern management were written during the Third Reich?SS Commander Reinhard Höhn was one of Nazi Germany’s most brilliant legal minds, an archetype of the fervid technocrats that built the Third Reich. Gone into hiding after 1945, he survived unscathed and re-emerged in the 1950s as the founder of a management school.His story wouldn’t be too different from that of other prominent Nazis, if not for the fact that the great majority of Germany’s post-war business leaders were educated at his school. Is this a coincidence? Or is there a link between the forms of organization of Nazism and the principles of corporate management?At the core of Höhn’s vision was the concept of freedom, as freedom to obey orders from above—to carry out one’s mission no matter the cost.
