Never again?
(2023)
The Holocaust was the most terrible atrocity of the 20th century. In many ways, it was also unprecedented in the history of atrocities: for its comprehensiveness and systematic nature; for the fanaticism with which its perpetrators scoured an entire continent in their pursuit of Jews; for the awful potency of the Nazis’ insinuation that the victims represented a pernicious and existential threat. Collectively, we have spent decades—and published millions of words—trying to understand what happened and why.
La Wehrmacht tenía muy claro a qué escala podía esperar capturar a las tropas soviéticas, pero aun así descuidó los preparativos necesarios para alimentar y alojar a unos hombres que los planificadores económicos y los jefes militares consideraron que serían competidores directos de las fuerzas armadas en lo que a víveres se refiere. Las obvias limitaciones a su libertad de movimiento y la relativa facilidad con la que grandes cantidades de ellos pudieron ser segregados y sus raciones controladas fueron factores cruciales a la hora de explicar la muerte de más de tres millones de prisioneros de guerra soviéticos, la inmensa mayoría de ellos como consecuencia directa o indirecta del hambre y la desnutrición. El proceso se inició con un claro desinterés por encargarse debidamente de aquella gente, pero con la llegada del otoño derivó en la decisión clara y meditada de matar de hambre a todos los que no pudieran aportar su trabajo a la economía de guerra o a los ejércitos alemanes.

In the Shadow of Ukraine
(2022)
In 2022, India captured global attention over its response to the war in Ukraine. While calling for both parties' return to diplomacy, India abstained from several United Nations resolutions condemning Russian aggression. For a country that ostensibly subscribes to the values of democracy and territorial integrity, its response appeared frustrating and contradictory, but it is broadly consistent with its long-standing policy of non-alignment. Although India's relationship with China is increasingly contentious, New Delhi is not yet fully convinced that it is in India's interest to swing westwards. The country's relations with Russia and China are deep, complex and substantive. In addition to the military and economic benefits it derives from its connection with Russia, New Delhi and Moscow share an avowed preference for a more equal, multipolar world. India will eventually have to reflect on the extent to which it can sustain its balancing act.
Editorial
(2023)
It has been highlighted many times how difficult it is to draw a boundary between gift and bribe, and how the same transfer can be interpreted in different ways according to the position of the observer and the narrative frame into which it is inserted. This also applied of course to Ancient Rome; in both the Republic and Principate lawgivers tried to define the limits of acceptable transfers and thus also to identify what we might call ‘corruption’. Yet, such definitions remained to a large extent blurred, and what was constructed was mostly a ‘code of conduct’, allowing Roman politicians to perform their own ‘honesty’ in public duty – while being aware at all times that their involvement in different kinds of transfer might be used by their opponents against them and presented as a case of ‘corrupt’ behaviour.
El artículo analiza la corrupción como un fenómeno complejo y con frecuencia ambiguo, relacionado con comportamientos y mentalidades individuales y colectivas, que son percibidos como ilegítimos o inmorales y, por lo tanto, desviados de normas establecidas. Más allá de un acercamiento reduccionista u objetivista a lugares comunes de la corrupción política, o a delitos tipificados por la ley, esta contribución pretende destacar la relevancia del análisis histórico del discurso en el estudio del tema. Este enfoque nos permite reconstruir contextos en los que se identifica la corrupción, así como analizar relatos, no siempre unánimes, sobre estas prácticas. El trabajo se adentra en una época lejana, pero a la vez cercana a nuestro tiempo, el último siglo la República romana. La evidencia nos permite evaluar críticamente aspectos fundamentales de la construcción retórica de la corrupción y de sus zonas grises, como la distinción, a menudo borrosa, entre regalo y soborno.
A different class of refugee: university scholarships and developmentalism in late 1960s Africa
(2022)
Using documents assembled in connection with the 1967 Conference on the Legal, Economic and Social Aspects of African Refugee Problems, this article discusses African refugee higher-education discourses in the 1960s at the level of international organizations, volunteer agencies, and government representatives. Education and development history have recently been studied together, but this article focuses on the history of refugee higher education, which, it argues, needs to be understood within the development framework of human-capital theory, meant to support political pan African concerns for a decolonized continent and merged with humanitarian arguments to create a hybrid form of humanitarian developmentalism. The article zooms in on higher-education scholarships, above all for refugees from Southern Africa, as a means of support for human-capital development. It shows that refugee higher education was both a result and a driver of increased international exchanges, as evidenced at the 1967 conference.
Theodor Lessing was a German-Jewish philosopher, Zionist, Communist and member of the Prager Kreis. He wrote psychological studies of Judaism and influenced with his main philosophical works Geschichte als Sinngebung des Sinnlosen (1919) and Europa und Asien (1918, and 1924) the German speaking scholars and contemporaries in Germany and elsewhere. He was killed by the Nazis in 1933 as one of the first victims of National Socialism.

What is the nature of interactions between Jews and Muslims in contemporary Dubai, Berlin, and Warsaw? The purpose of the three presented case studies is to evaluate the state of affairs and identify newly emerging trends and patterns in the given trans-urban context. The methodology is based on qualitative anthropological research, emphasising an emic perspective that centralises respondents' own lived experiences and worldviews. The main research's findings made evident that interactions between Muslims and Jews in each examined location are, to various extents, acknowledged, and in some cases, also embody a formative part of public discourses. Perhaps the most visible manifestations of these relations are represented by the ambitious interfaith projects that were recently established in each geographical area in focus. The Abrahamic Family House (UEA), The House of One (GE), and The Community of Conscience (PL) reveal the aspirations of multi-faith religious leaders to overcome polarising dichotomies and search for common ground. One of the conclusive outcomes of the study is a somewhat diminishing impact of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the Jewish-Muslim relations; however, the extent differs in each destination in focus. Finally, an unpredicted observation can be made. A surfacing inclination towards embracing a joint Muslim-Jewish Middle Eastern identity was perceived.

How soccer becomes politics
(2021)
In this case study, the authors elaborate on the narrative structure of transnational popular media events. Drawing from Dayan and Katz's concept of media events and Julia Sonnevend's exceptional work on iconic global media events, they argue that fundamental changes in the way occurrences are being reported on and news is structured must be considered. Allowing for recent technological advancements, the role of the consumer and the compression of time in media use, the authors develop a methodological and theoretical framework fitting a more mundane and everyday life-based approach. They derive their results from the analysis of the "Podgorica Media Event," a news cycle emerging from a racist incident during an international soccer game between England and Montenegro. Based on the body of 250 international news pieces, they identify a primary mother narration and a distinctive narration as the typical ways of storytelling on a transnational level. While differing greatly in content, aspects of transnational popular media events serve to protect and reify the cultural background they are grounded in on a national level. Thus, we assume that sport, or, more specifically, soccer, may become political in media communication not by the impact of state government but by the consumers themselves choosing and developing a popular media event in the first place.
Nach der einleitenden Bemerkung, dass die alteuropäische (mittelalterliche und früh neuzeitliche) Identität grundsätzlich konfessionell bestimmt war (Heiraten, Vergabe von Ämtern, Kriegsbündnisse u. a. orientierten sich an der Konfession), gliederte der Referent seinen Vortrag in zwei Abschnitte:
Teil 1: Reflexion über die christliche Identität Alteuropas an der Schwelle vom Mittelalter zur Neuzeit
Teil 2: Die Folgen von Katholischer Reform, Reformation und Gegenreformation für die europäische Geschichte im Konfessionellen Zeitalter, mit einigen Ausblicken auf das aufgeklärte, säkulare 18. Jahrhundert
Befragungsergebnisse unter Lehramtsstudierenden belegen nur mittelmäßige Relevanzeinschätzungen hinsichtlich fachwissenschaftlicher Studieninhalte. Der Relevanzwahrnehmung in Lehr-Lern-Situationen werden indes motivations- und interessensförderliche Effekte und dadurch Einflüsse auf den Wissenserwerb zugeschrieben. Der Beitrag stellt eine auf Theorien zur Relevanzeinschätzung und einem besonderen, auf Lehr-Lern-Kontexte anwendungsbezogenen Fachwissen basierende Interventionsmaßnahme im Bachelorgeschichtsstudium an der Universität Potsdam vor: eine spezielle Vorlesung und Online-Tutorium mit Lehr-Lern-Videos, die auf die Erhöhung der Relevanzwahrnehmung von Lehramts- und Fachstudierenden abzielt. Eine fragebogengestützte Erhebung zu den Relevanzeinschätzungen der Studierenden nach dem Besuch der Lehrveranstaltung zeigt, dass alle Geschichtsstudierenden die Inhalte der Vorlesung und des Online-Tutoriums als relevant für Studium und Beruf einschätzen. Insbesondere die Inhalte des Online-Tutoriums, das anwendungsbezogenes Fachwissen vertieft, werden als berufsrelevant eingestuft, Fachstudierende könnten aber noch besser adressiert und Reflexionsfragen zur eigenen Generierung von Relevanz seitens der Studierenden eingebaut werden. Die Studie belegt insgesamt Gelingensfaktoren für die Konzeption fachwissenschaftlicher Vorlesungen, die auch an anderen Universitätsstandorten die mangelnde Relevanzeinschätzung erhöhen könnten.

Vorwort
(2023)
Die Königlich Preußische Seehandlung, nach der heute die „Stiftung Preußische Seehandlung“ benannt ist, besitzt eine lange und vielseitige Geschichte. Der anlässlich des Stiftungsjubiläums erscheinende Band wirft einen Blick auf die Gründungskonstellation 1772, als König Friedrich II. die Gewerbe in Preußen fördern wollte. Er zeichnet die Aktivitäten von Männern an der Spitze der Seehandlung nach, wie Finanzminister Carl August von Struensee und dem unter- nehmerisch denkenden Karrierebeamten Christian Rother.
Das Gebäude der Seehandlung wurde nach 1900 neu erbaut und ist heute in der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie am Gendarmenmarkt lebendige Gegenwart. Die Seehand- lung erhielt von ihren Zeitgenossen im 19. Jahr- hundert ambivalente Urteile. Ein Ausblick auf die Geschichte der Stiftung Preußische Seehandlung seit 1983 zeigt das Bemühen um Kunst- und Kul- turförderung als zentrale Aufgabe.
Im 19. Jahrhundert waren Konversationslexika, wie der Name schon andeutet, dazu gedacht, die Konversation in Salon und Vereinen mit Informationen zu bereichern. In den einzelnen Artikeln wurde auf Präzision, Genauigkeit und Überprüfbarkeit gesetzt, um der Leserschaft auch ein eigenes Urteil zu ermöglichen. Die „Seehandlungs-Societät in Preußen“ oder „Seehandlung, preußische“, wie sie in deutschen Lexika vorkommt, wandelte sich im 19. Jahrhundert zur Staatsbank. In der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts fielen die Urteile der Lexika meist ablehnend aus: Die Seehandlung erschien als eine wirtschaftspolitisch katastrophale Fehlentwicklung. Eine besondere Rolle spielte der Präsident Christian (von) Rother, der die Seehandlung zum selbständigen Unternehmen gemacht hatte. Der Wandel der allgemeinen Lexika in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts veränderte auch die Sicht auf die Seehandlung. Die Geschäfte der Bank wurden positiv hervorgehoben, die Beurteilungen verwiesen auf Statistiken und Bilanzen. Der Fokus rückte von den leitenden Personen der Seehandlung hin zum Kampf um Handelsmonopole und den preußischen Landtag als öffentlichem Forum. Das vernichtende Urteil der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts war einer differenzierten Bewertung der Bankentätigkeit gewichen.
Kein anderer Akteur prägte die ersten Dezennien der Preußischen Seehandlung so sehr wie Carl August von Struensee. Als deren Direktor und dann als preußischer Finanzminister initiierte er zwischen 1782 und seinem Tod im Jahr 1804 bereits maßgeblich den langen Transformationsprozess der Seehandlung vom königlichen Wachs- und Salzmonopol hin zu einer Staatsbank, der erst im 20. Jahrhundert zum Abschluss kommen sollte. In dem Beitrag wird Struensee sowohl als Wirtschaftstheoretiker in den ökonomischen Diskursen der Aufklärung zwischen Physiokratie und Frühliberalismus situiert als auch als ein Finanzpolitiker mit konsequent europäischem Handlungshorizont vor dem Hintergrund einer beschleunigten globalen und kolonialen Mächtekonkurrenz porträtiert.
Vergiftetes Kulturerbe

Medieval sculptures of so-called, Jew-Sows" inside and outside famous Church buildings, especially in the German-speaking countries, have a disastrous tradition and a poisoning impact until today. There are sharp controversies now on how to deal with these "unappetizing" sculptures, visible for example at the City church of Wittenberg, the town where protestant reformer Martin Luther had lived and worked. But the problem goes deeper. Obscene and perfidious representations of Jews, as they were usual in Christian-dominated Europe over centuries, have also penetrated the thought world and language use until today. Swearwords like "Jew-Sow" and "Jew-Pig" are used in order to attack and discredit Jews, non-Jews and disliked coevals. New strategies of combatting this "poisoning traditions" are needed. This article also refers to the roots of early Christian Jew-hatred and recommends an impartial critical discussion on relevant anti-Jewish passages in the Christian Bible.

Fighting ISIS in Syria
(2022)
This paper analyses the Operation Euphrates Shield (OES) al-Bab battle and presents the lessons learned. OES started with a mixed force of Free Syrian Army, Turkish special forces and armoured units. During the operation, the aims and the force structure gradually changed, yet not the command structure. When OES aimed to capture al-Bab, ISIS employed conventional active defence strategy. The OES commander's insistence on employing special forces increased own casualties and al-Bab was seized only after resorting to a conventional urban attack. OES presents tactical and operational lessons for the militaries on structure and execution of operations against an irregular adversary employing conventional means.
This article discusses the so-called 'Apocalypse' of Carour, a text preserved in a Codex (M586) of the famous Hamuli-find, that originally emanated from the environment of the Pachomian monastic enterprise. It addresses a series of disasters and communal deficiencies through metaphorical imagery and similes that struck the community after the death of its founding father Pachomios. After presenting a few conjectures to the editio princeps and providing a German translation, the 'Apocalypse' is contextualized within the historical and liturgical background of this late antique monastic community. The author asserts that this unique text not only displays the symptoms of disaster, but also gives us new insights into how the Pachomians productively coped with crises. In contrast to modern scholarship, the author argues that the 'Apocalypse' is in fact a prophecy (ex eventu) that was based on an instruction, which was publicly read at the large Easter assembly of the Pachomians, most likely by Horsiesos, the third abbot of the Koinonia. Using the figure of the frog, C(h)arour, to symbolize the biblical plague but also the Egyptian concept of rebirth, the instruction was intended to strengthen group cohesion and especially to prepare the novices that were about to receive their baptism during the Easter celebration for a life devoted to the Koinonia and its principles. To this initial prophecy, which developed an antithesis to the ideal monastic life envisioned by the Pachomians, another text was later added that narrated an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Apa Besarion, the fifth abbot of the Koinonia. In a much more practical manner this second part of the prophecy elaborated on the same themes while also displaying the resilience of the community in averting crises through remembering and recommitting to its founding precepts. The convoluted text we possess now should therefore be equally viewed as a testament to the communication structures of the Pachomians as well as their memorial culture, which targeted moments of crisis and despair to imbue future generations with the necessary persistence to overcome possible disasters themselves and secure the long-term existence of the Koinonia.
