Volume 8: History and Historiography: Zeitgeschichte and the Challenge of the German Past

Edited by Thomas Schlemmer, Susanna Schrafstetter, and Alan E. Steinweis

The Munich-based Institut für Zeitgeschichte (IfZ—Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History) is celebrating its seventy-fifth birthday in 2024. From its very beginning, it has been at the center of research on the Nazi dictatorship and an important participant in the debates that its research has provoked. Starting with the first translation of Rothfels’s seminal article into English, the contributions in this volume give valuable insights into the history of research and scholarship at the IfZ, as well as into the development of the subdiscipline of Zeitgeschichte more generally.
