The SS A History 1919-45


Free Download Robert Lewis Koehl, "The SS: A History 1919-45"
English | ISBN: 0752425595 | 2004 | 368 pages | EPUB | 597 KB
The SS grew out of Adolf Hitler’s and Heinrich Himmler’s obsession to prevent the treachery they believed to have caused the German defeat in the First World War. It was to be an elite corps of politically aware soldiers whose primary aim was to prevent the undermining of the Nazi Party by rendering its potential enemies "harmless." This disturbing story reveals not only the inner workings of the SS, but also its paramount role in the mass murder of Europe’s Jews, homosexuals, and gypsies; its organization of the death squads throughout occupied Europe; and the military campaigns undertaken by the Waffen SS.

Deutsch | 2024 | ISBN: 3662678497 | 381 Pages | PDF (True) | 11 MB
Hitlers Reden spielten eine entscheidende Rolle im Prozess der nationalsozialistischen „Machtergreifung" und der späteren Durchsetzung ihrer Politik. Das Buch untersucht die Gründe für die enorme Wirkung von Hitlers Auftritten, indem es die 1,7 Millionen Wörter, die die Reden umfassen, systematisch und in ihrer Entwicklung analysiert. Unter Einbeziehung der historischen und technikgeschichtlichen Hintergründe sowie detaillierten Beschreibungen von Hitlers Auftreten, seinen Gesten und rhetorischen Mitteln entsteht so eine Gesamtdarstellung von Hitlers Entwicklung als Redner – von den euphorisierenden Anfängen in den Bierkellern bis zu den kaum mehr beachteten Einlassungen am Ende des Krieges.

The Planning and Building of the Hebrew University, 1919-1948 Facing the Temple Mount


Free Download Diana Dolev, "The Planning and Building of the Hebrew University, 1919-1948: Facing the Temple Mount"
English | ISBN: 0739191616 | 2016 | 186 pages | EPUB | 16 MB
Since the construction of the first Holy Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem in 957 BCE, the site became one of the holiest places for Jews, Christians, and Muslims around the world. Once the Dome of the Rock was built during early Islam, the edifice replaced the temple and for centuries pilgrims, travelers, and locals would climb up to the Mount Scopus summit for the magnificent view it afforded. Hence, planning and building an institute of national importance on Mount Scopus could not disregard the implications of that view of the Temple Mount-in terms of beauty, religious sentiments, and the link to a historic golden age.

English | ISBN: 0816365326 | 2019 | 124 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
In 1919, the world was reeling from the destructive forces of World War I, American Protestants were uniting against Modernism in defense of the inerrancy of the Bible, and Adventists were recovering from the 1915 death of Ellen White, their beloved prophet. Needing to confirm the movement’s identity in rapidly changing times, some 65 Adventist leaders, editors, and Bible teachers met from July 1 to August 9, 1919, in Columbia Hall on the campus of Washington Missionary College near Washington, D.C. Their discussions were candid and often heated, prompting A.G. Daniells to occasionally ask stenographers to stop their recording work. Minutes of the conference were buried in the archives and would eventually be rediscovered in 1974. Today, the Seventh-day Adventist Church continues to grapple with issues raised at this epochal event.
