Mass Violence in Southeast Europe in the 19th and 20th Centuries — Motives, Processes, and Effects
Politics of Violence and Human Rights (GM), Volume 4
Southeast Europe in the 19th and 20th century is heavily influenced by conflicts, unrest, terror and wars. In this volume, the authors address some aspects of the causes, motives and effects of the various forms of violence up to the middle of the 20th century. They display a diverse and complex picture of violence, some of which has been little addressed to date, but continues to have a strong influence on the societies of this region. The series “Violence Policy and Human Rights” (GM) was edited by Rolf Hosfeld, Sönke Neitzel and Julius Schöps.
The First World War as a Caesura? Demographic Concepts, Population Policy, and Genocide in the Late Ottoman, Russian, and Habsburg Spheres
Politics of Violence and Human Rights (GM), Volume 3
During the phases of mobile warfare, the ethnically and religiously very heterogeneous population in the border regions of the multi-ethnic empires suffered in particular. Even if the real military situation in the course of the war hardly gave cause for concern, the image of disloyal ethnic and national minorities was widespread.
The series “Violence Policy and Human Rights” (GM) was edited by Rolf Hosfeld, Sönke Neitzel and Julius Schöps.

Death in the Desert — The Armenian Genocide
Aghet — disaster — is what Armenians call the gruesome events that began in spring 1915. They went down in history as the first genocide of the 20th century. Rolf Hosfeld, Germany's best expert on the events, vividly and historically accurately describes the Armenian genocide, explains the background and clarifies a topic that is still one of the taboos of historiography.
This title was also translated into Turkish (“Çölde Ölüm”) and Armenian.
Franz Werfel and the Armenian Genocide
This volume provides an interdisciplinary inventory of the biography and work of the Austro-Jewish writer Franz Werfel from the perspective of the Armenian genocide. What brought Werfel to his literary commitment to the Armenians in his novel “The Forty Days of Musa Dagh”? How were fiction and historical events implemented in the novel and later processed cinematographically? What role do Christian and Jewish views play in Werfel's work? What lines of reception can be drawn from an Armenian-Jewish-Turkish-German perspective? This volume is the first to include one of the great novels of the 20th century in the context of the first modern genocide.
With contributions from Roy Knocke, Werner Tress, Peter Stephan Jungk, Hans Dieter Zimmermann, Olga Koller, Andreas Meier, Rolf Hosfeld, Martin Tamcke, Ulrike Schneider, Raffi Kantian, Frank Stern, Hacik Gazer
