Presentazione

From the 10th to the 12th September the second conference on the issue "Coalition of the Revisionists: The System of Alliance around Nazi-Germany during the Second World War. Aims, Motives and Ideas" will take place at the Department of History at the University of Bern (Switzerland). The programs of both conferences were developed at the Department of History at the University of Bern (unit for modern and contemporary history) and in the frame of the special research project “War Experiences” at the University of Tübingen. The first conference was held in September 2008 in Blaubeuren (Germany) and focused on “Territorial Revisionism and Revisionism Inside”. This second conference will be about social and political actors as well as conceptions and methods of revisionist politics in Europe during the Second World War. It aims to bring together outstanding experts to discuss the results of international research and forthcoming projects about "Europe and the Coalition of the Revisionists." It should be an opportunity to reflect on an often neglected, nonetheless urgent topic of 20th century history: How did the satellites of Germany fit into the vision of a "New Europe," which for many contemporaries seemed to be a realistic aim to be carried on in a coalition with the "Third Reich?"

Recensione The international conference on social actors, practices, and conceptions of revisionist politics in Europe, 1938-45 took place from 10 to 12 September, 2009 at the University of Bern, Switzerland. The meeting was organized by Marina Cattaruzza (University of Bern), Stefan Dyroff (University of Bern), and Dieter Langewiesche (University of Tübingen) and gathered historians from the USA, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Germany, France, and Switzerland. Due to illness, Dieter Langewiesche unfortunately couldn’t attend the conference. As MARINA CATTARUZZA (Bern) pointed out in her introduction, the aim of the conference was to raise new questions about the alliance around Nazi-Germany and particularly about the policies of territorial revisionism as well as of ethnic and racial resettling implemented by most allies of the Third Reich. It was the intention to address issues of common patterns in the representation of nation and citizenship and national territory and boundaries in countries which were otherwise fiercely competitive one with another. Two major questions were to be answered... ... per leggere l'intera recensione, CLICCA QUI
