“Conversion Stories: Turning Communists into Nazis”

Presenter: 
Sabine Hake, University of Texas at Austin, German Literature and Culture
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Thu, 02/01/2018 - 17:00

Historians have long argued about the relationship between the workers and the Nazis. Did the Nazis betray the German working class or did they offer solutions to their problems? Answering these questions as part of a larger debate about politics and emotions means to pay close attention to the grievances and resentments that made possible the shift from class to race as the main category of identification.
