Larry Eugene Jones, professor emeritus in the Department of History, recently published an article entitled “Von der Demokratie zur Diktatur. Das Ende der Weimarer Republik und der Aufstieg des Nationalsozialismus” in Aufbruch und Abgründe. Das Handbuch der Weimarer Republik, ed. Nadine Rossol and Benjamin Ziemann (Darmstadt: Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, 2021).
This article examines the collapse of German democracy in the early 1930s and Adolf Hitler’s assumption of power on January 30, 1933. An English version of this article entitled “From Democracy to Dictatorship: The Fall of Weimar and the Nazi Rise to Power, 1930-1933” is scheduled to appear shortly in The Oxford Handbook of the Weimar Republic (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2021). Professor Jones also recently learned that his book The German Right 1918-1930: Political Parties, Organized Interests, and Patriotic Associations in the Struggle against Weimar Democracy (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010), is being published in a paperback edition.
