Apoiada em pesquisa documental e na historiografia sobre o tema, buscou-se traçar a trajetória do periódico durante o recorte cronológico estabelecido em relação a seus posicionamentos ideológicos. O Diário Popular foi fundado no último quartel do século XIX, ligado ao Partido Republicano Rio-Grandense (PRR), e constituiu-se representante das classes conservadoras da cidade, sendo órgão oficial da municipalidade até os anos 1930. Após a Revolução de 1930, passou por um longo período de reformulação, desvinculando-se do PRR e opondo-se ao governo varguista. Por fim, após a implantação do Estado Novo, buscou conciliar-se com o regime e aliou-se a concepção estado-novista. O jornal tomou contato com o ideário fascista nos anos 1920, noticiando-o através de sua seção internacional. Posteriormente, a medida que o noticiário deu ênfase a vitória eleitoral de Adolf Hitler e a Coordenação da Alemanha, o nazismo tornou-se tema de capa. Inicialmente o jornal manteve relações cordiais com os representantes fascistas na cidade, especialmente com o Partido Nacional Fascista italiano e, posteriormente, também com a Seção do Partido Nazista. Contudo, após a implantação do Estado Novo, firmou o distanciamento iniciado já em meados de 1936. / The present dissertation aims to analyze how the newspaper Diário Popular, from Pelotas, between 1923 and 1939, behaved in relation to fascist ideologies, especially towards German Nazism. Supported by documentary research and historiography about the subject, it attempted to trace the trajectory of the journal over the chronological clipping established in relation to its ideological positions. The Diário Popular was founded in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, connected to the Partido Republicano Rio-Grandense (PRR), and it became representative of the conservative classes of the city, being the official organism of the municipality until the 1930s. After the Revolution of 1930, it went through a long period of reformulation, becoming detached from the PRR and opposing to Vargas government. At last, after the implementation of the Estado Novo, it sought to conciliate with the regime and allied with the Estado Novo conception. The newspaper made contact with the fascist ideology in the 1920s, reporting it through its international section. Later, as the news emphasized the electoral victory of Adolf Hitler and the Germany Coordination, the Nazism became cover topic. At first, the newspaper maintained cordial relations to the fascist representatives in the city, especially with the Italian National Fascist Party and, later, also with the Section of the Nazi Party. However, after the implementation of the Estado Novo, it established the detachment already started in mid-1936.

No / Germany in 1945 was crammed with millions of people displaced by war, deportation, Nazi slave labour, and flight before the advance of the Red Army. Many of them, including Poles and the Baltic peoples of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, refused to return to their communist-controlled homelands. Simultaneously in Italy, the Middle East and Britain, there were more than 100,000 Polish military personnel under British command, along with their dependants. Most of these were survivors of the one and a half million Poles deported to Siberia by the Soviet security police. Based on official documents and the words of the survivors and their children, this book describes the brutal uprooting of these people, their subsequent terrible experiences in the Soviet and Nazi forced labour camps and prisons, and their ultimate settlement in Britain. Here the newcomers created communities, integrated into British life while attempting to preserve their cultures and identities, and experienced how ethnic minorities relate to the host society. 'This book is a fascinating history of the Polish and Baltic communities who arrived in the United Kingdom shortly after the Second World War. The author relies on interviews with elderly members of these communities and on documents from the Public Record Office. It was perhaps the last opportunity to obtain these important oral histories and Lane is the first British researcher to do so.' - International Affairs 'Its originality lies in the author's ability to weave personal stories into the otherwise dry facts concerning population movements. In this respect, the book becomes an inspiring social history.'

Under the Reich Ministry of Propaganda and Popular Enlightenment functioned the Winterhilfswerk des deutschen Volkes (the “WHW”), or Winter Assistance Program of the German people. Initially designated in 1933 to assist the unemployed, the WHW expanded its reach by disseminating propaganda in the form of an annual edition of the Ewiges Deutschland:Ein deutsches Hausbuch household book from 1939 through 1943, intended to entertain and politically educate German family members throughout the year. Decidedly more comprehensible than Mein Kampf, another widely popularly disseminated book in Nazi Germany for weddings, Ewiges Deutschland likely enjoyed a more satisfied audience of readers. A study of all five original volumes published totaling approximately 1,800 pages of primary source material, together with secondary supporting resources, suggests a dynamic relationship between the political intentions and propaganda value of the material published and the existing popular political culture. The Propaganda Ministry clearly understood this relationship and attempted to exploit and manipulate it. This relationship however was not static, and the explicit propaganda, its message, and associated literature changed over the course of the years studied according to the context of current events. This study illuminates our understanding of what daily life, culture, and many widely held beliefs were, and what they were intended to be, during the Third Reich. It concludes that popular political culture was less ideologically Nazified and radicalized than generally assumed.

Racial hygiene in Nazi Germany Bc. Klára Setničková Dissertation called Racial hygiene in the Nazi Germany briefly describes the development of the world eugenics emphasizing in the first place its birth and development in Germany and its progressive applying in practice. Reader will find here information concerning the "negative" eugenics covered by Nuremberg laws, sterilization and extermination of mentally ill people or people of "bad" racial origin etc. Also the "positive" eugenics will be mentioned, founding the Lebensborn houses, Germanization of the children etc. Then the work slowly goes toward the Conference at Wansee, to the birth of the idea of final solution of the Jewish question, description of selected concentration camps and ghettos. As a logical outcome of this work I consider joining of the last chapter concerning the Nuremberg Process with German medical practioners charged of brutal experiments on people. Even description as such of the selected experiments is not missing, or mentioning of anthropological survey dealing with collections of Jewish skeletons differing from the norm. Also due to this collection many innocent any healthy people died. This dissertation strives to give a complete view of the issue of the Nazi racial hygiene from its roots when no one expected it was...

Thesis advisor: John Michalczyk / Although the National Socialists' ultimate intentions in regard to religion were concealed from the pubic under layers of political rhetoric, their objectives were nonetheless clear. The National Socialists sought the destruction of the Christian religion, whose teachings and values were seen as inimical to those of the State, and the establishment of a Reichskirche that would preach the doctrines of National Socialism. The German government during the Third Reich was a totalitarian regime, but there was one matter in which the Nazi Party did not have carte blanche, religion, which made it an intrinsic threat to the authority of the State. Many Nazi officials saw Christianity as the inherent and irreconcilable enemy of National Socialism, but they knew they risked losing the support of the German people if they instantly dissolved the Christian Churches. Instead of vehemently attacking the Christian confessions the way they did in Poland, in Germany the National Socialists set up a mirage of support for and acceptance of religious institutions, all while working to undermine the Christian tradition that they considered of greatest detriment and danger to their State. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2004. / Submitted to: Boston College.

In few cities will one find a landscape so scarred with the physical remains of its contentious recent past as Berlin. The capital city boasts recognizable and well-known relics from not only the Third Reich, but also from its time as communist East and capitalist West Berlin. Inconspicuously sitting in two of Berlin’s largest public parks though are two hills not as easily identifiable as other historic sites. Hidden beneath the grassy hills, the massive concrete remains of 1940s flak towers have slowly made their way into the historical consciousness of Berliners. In examining the evolution of the Nazi-built towers in the consciousness of Berliners, this thesis attempts to gain a better understanding of the city’s confrontation with the toxic relics in their landscape left from the Third Reich through a less-recognizable and less-contentious structure. / text

This thesis is broadly concerned with how individuals within German society, the German Resistance to Hitler and the German military reacted to persecution of Jews in Germany before the start of the Second World War and also to reports of German atrocities within German-controlled areas of Europe during the conflict. / The specific focus of this study is an examination of the personal sentiments contained in the writings of Carl Goerdeler, Ulrich von Hassell and Helmuth von Moltke and the recorded reactions to the various and intensifying stages of Nazi persecution of Jews within German-controlled territory. These particular individuals were chosen, as a significant portion of their writings, in the form of diary entries, letters and memoranda have been published and offer a glimpse of personal sentiments and thoughts unaltered by the censors of the Nazi regime. In addition, this study examines the reactions of two German officers, Johannes Blaskowitz and Rudolf-Christoph von Gersdorff, to German atrocities committed in German-occupied Eastern Europe. Their reactions to and courageous protests against Nazi crimes are also a significant part of the overall context of German reactions to Nazi crimes. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
