Ebook: Arbeit im Nationalsozialismus: Herausgegeben:Wildt, Michael; Buggeln, Marc

Work was a core concept in National Socialism. In pre-war concentration camps, it was a tool for converting prisoners into Volksgenossen, or members of the national community. And during the war, forced labor was crucial to armaments production. â??Ability to workâ? meant life or death for Jews, POWs, and others. The essays in this volume explore the multiple meanings of work as a social, political, and cultural practice in National Socialism.
