Discover the dark history of the Holocaust... Jewish communities have existed in the territories of modern-day Germany since Roman times, around the fourth century. By 1925, a census identified over half a million Jewish people living in Germany, accounting for around 1% of the total population. Jewish communities thrived in both economic and cultural terms, and Jewish people were active in commerce, science, the arts, and politics. During World War I, over 100,000 Jewish men fought in the Imperial German Army, demonstrating their commitment to the nation.

In the Vietnam War, few units were more essential—or more overlooked—than the US Army’s combat engineers. Operating in some of the most hazardous terrain in Southeast Asia, they cleared roads, built fortifications, set obstacles, detonated explosives, and reinforced fighting positions—all while facing the constant threat of ambush, mines, and enemy fire.

Autumn 1945 saw the start of the Nuremberg trials, in which high ranking representatives of the Nazi government were called to account for their war crimes. In a curious yet fascinating twist, witnesses for the prosecution and the defense were housed together in a villa on the outskirts of town. The Witness House reveals the social structures that allowed a cruel and unjust regime to flourish and serves as a symbol of the blurred boundaries between accuser and accused that would come to form the basis of postwar Germany.

Wer war Claus von Stauffenberg? Die Figur des Obersten, der am Mittag des 20. Juli 1944 die Bombe zündete, die Hitler töten sollte, blieb in der Literatur immer schemenhaft.
