Around 1900, Berlin briefly sat at the center of German colonial imperialism. After World War I, the colonial revisionist movement formed here to reclaim the "stolen" German colonial empire overseas. Today, the local global history of the (post-)colonial metropolis of Berlin has largely been forgotten. This city guide, which focuses on the Mitte district of central Berlin, presents a selection of significant colonial historical sites of remembrance. It aims to stimulate a critical examination of Germany's colonial past and to contribute to a cosmopolitan and inclusive culture of remembrance.

Inviting a conceptual reconsideration of centre and periphery in the study of National Socialist camps and killing sites, this volume puts forth novel scholarly analyses of the history and memory of the Holocaust and World War II. The book is organised thematically into three interrelated sections that engage innovative methodological approaches to the history of this period, perpetrator studies, and post-war memorial practices. Employing a fluid and interpretive understanding of centre and periphery, the authors offer timely interventions into the use of visual sources and archival materials, explore perpetration and collaboration as transnational and political categories, and examine contested legacies of the Holocaust, and post-war commemorative practices, pedagogy and memorialisation.

On January 20, 1942, a meeting lasting one and a half hours took place in a villa at Wannsee. The only item on the agenda was the organization of the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question". In fact, it was about a deportation and mass murder project with enormous dimensions, about which representatives of the security authorities and the ministries of the "Third Reich" discussed with each other.The historian Peter Klein, a profound expert on the subject, gives a dense overview of the development that led to this conference and of the contents that were discussed there. He shows the significance of this coordination meeting and how its aftermath unfolded. Facsimiles of key documents on the "Wannsee Conference" - including the minutes of the proceedings - make it possible to reconstruct the events from the fi les of the authorities involved and to grasp the specific character of this administrative murder of millions.
