Journey to Nazi Berlin / Vladimir Raevskiy

Nov 3, 2025 | A journey to a country under a totalitarian regime is surprisingly easy these days - too many of them are open and even welcoming to tourists. But what would you actually see, - and more importantly, notice, - on such a trip? Most travellers come back with ordinary impressions: food, sightseeing, parks, and museums.

But distance lends perspective.

That’s why I decided to travel to Nazi Berlin in 1936, to explore what impressions and observations I might have brought back from that quite remarkable place.

The Aftermath of Kristallnacht: The Nazi Auctioneers Who Profited from the Holocaust

Nov 2, 2025 | Historical data journalism brings to light the true story of Kristallnacht and thereafter. The systematic antisemitism of the Nazis peaked with the pogroms of 1938/39, the outcome of which was incomparable violence and despotism towards Jewish citizens. The events that culminated into the Kristallnacht also led to a massive wave of expropriation. The mind cannot begin to process the vast amount of monetary and material goods taken from the Jews on Kristallnacht and years to follow. But the stolen valuables were meticulously documented by a group known as the auctioneers. Their files place private stories in perspective with the major developments of Nazi-Germany, showing us those who’ve profited most from the property transfers.Tax inspectors and bailiffs, pawnbrokers and auctioneers were the exploiters of Jewish property, from industrial enterprises to silver spoons. Especially the auctioneers are among the major profiteers of the Holocaust. Their files, which in many cities were only recently made accessible, paint a new and more detailed picture of the persecution of Jews in Germany.

Book Burnings: How the Nazis First Burned Books and Then People

May 7, 2023 | Book burnings - in the past and the present - stand as one of the most powerful symbols of intolerance and censorship. On May 10, 1933, only a few months after Hitler's rise to power, tens of thousands of books were burned in more than twenty German cities. Most books were works by Jewish authors. But works by political dissidents were also blacklisted. Numerous writers were forced to go into exile, while many of those who stayed in Germany were imprisoned or murdered. The Nazis replaced the Weimar Republic’s once vibrant culture with Nazi propaganda and a carefully tailored concept of what they wanted “German culture” to be.

In this episode of "Arts Unveiled", DW History Reporter Susanne Spröer sets forth to investigate why the idea to burn books took hold of universities across Germany in 1933. What role did the symbolism of fire play? Which authors were blacklisted? What happened to them afterwards? And what do young people today think about these acts of cultural destruction?

The Path to Nazi Genocide | 2025 | Holocaust Education

Oct 20, 2025 | This 38-minute film introduces the history of the Holocaust. It begins by looking back at the major changes from 1918 to 1933 that created the political climate for the birth and rise of the Nazi Party in Germany. It explores the basis for the party’s support among ordinary Germans and the military, government, and business establishment before and after Hitler was appointed chancellor in January 1933.

After 1933, Nazi leaders used violence and intimidation, propaganda, laws and decrees, and parliamentary maneuvers to quickly destroy the remains of democratic rule. Having established a dictatorship, leaders began pursuing ideological goals. These included the purification and strengthening of the “superior” German “race” and the return of Germany to great power status through economic revival and the build-up of the military.

Jews, who were viewed in Nazi ideology as a separate and dangerous “race,” went from being German citizens with full equal rights to outcasts. They were pressured to immigrate and excluded from the racially based “people’s community” that gave many Germans, especially youth, a sense of belonging. Other excluded groups included Roma, persons with disabilities, gay men, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and political opponents.

During World War II, which began in 1939, German military conquests and alliances endangered Jews living in countries across German-dominated Europe. The German invasion of the Soviet Union in summer 1941, envisioned by Nazi leaders and the German military as a “war of annihilation,” was a key turning point on the path to the genocide of Europe’s Jews. The murder of 6 million Jewish men, women, and children required the active participation or acquiescence of countless Germans and Europeans from all walks of life.

Nb: For English speakers who are unfamiliar with the intricacies of the German language, it might be of interest to you to learn that the word Gestapo is a portmanteau word combining these German words: Geheime Staatspolizei, meaning ‘secret state police’. ‘Geheim’ is German for secret. ‘Staatspolizei’ means ‘state polce’. So, by taking the first letters of those three words—‘Staatspolizei’ is one word made up from two—we get the word Ge Sta Po = Gestapo. – Mark Alexander

Execution of Nazi Gay Prostitute & Killer Who Personally Tortured His Enemies - Edmund Heines

Apr 27, 2025 | Edmund Heines was born on the 21st of July 1897 in the city of Munich, then part of the German Empire. During the war, he was deployed to the Western Front. In 1915, he sustained a severe head wound that forced him to convalesce for some time. He was recognized for bravery and devotion to duty, receiving military decorations such as the Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class, and achieved the rank of reserve lieutenant by 1918. In March 1920, Heines participated in what is known as the Kapp Putsch, a failed coup attempt by extreme right-wing factions who aimed to topple the republican government in Germany and restore an authoritarian regime. After the putsch collapsed, Heines and his associates took cover in various parts of Germany. A few months after the failed coup a violent incident occurred, one that deeply marked his reputation and legal standing: the so-called Fememord of Willi Schmidt.. On the 22nd of January 1928, Heines was arrested in Schongau for his involvement in Willi Schmidt's murder. He was transferred to Stettin – today’s Polish Szczecin - as the main defendant in the trial for Schmidt's murder. The prosecution demanded the death penalty for Schmidt's murder, but the judgement of the Stettin court was 15 years in prison for manslaughter, later lowered to 5 years. At the end, on the 14th of May 1929, Heines was released from custody by a decision of the Stettin court on a bail of 5000 Reichsmarks.
