  This book contains three titles: 
  - The Rise of Nazi Germany: The rise of Nazi Germany is a tale deeply rooted in the tumultuous conditions following World War I, when Germany was thrust into a period of economic collapse, social disarray, and political chaos. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, aimed to punish Germany for its role in the war, imposing harsh reparations and territorial losses that humiliated the nation. This punitive treaty left the German people feeling betrayed, their economy in ruins, and their national pride shattered. The Weimar Republic, established in 1919, was meant to provide a democratic alternative, but it struggled from the outset. 
  - The Holocaust: The devastating events of World War II, particularly the Holocaust, left an indelible mark on the history of humanity. This chapter sets the stage for understanding the roots of hatred that led to one of the most horrific genocides in human history, and the role of ordinary people in shaping the course of events during the war. The Holocaust was not just an isolated act of mass murder; it was the culmination of a complex set of political, social, and cultural factors that had been brewing for decades.  
  - Nuremberg Trials: The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for crimes committed during the war. These trials were a defining moment in the history of international law and marked the first time that individuals were held accountable on an international stage for atrocities committed by a regime. The trials took place in the city of Nuremberg, Germany, from 1945 to 1949, and were conducted by the Allied powers—the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France—who sought to bring justice to the victims of the Holocaust, forced labor, and widespread destruction caused by the Nazis.

  *Named one of TIME magazine's Most Anticipated Titles of 2022*From a Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author and poet comes a galvanizing meditation on the power of art and culture to illuminate America's unresolved problem with race.In the midst of civil unrest in the summer of 2020 and following the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, Elizabeth Alexander—one of the great literary voices of our time—turned a mother's eye to her sons’ and students’ generation and wrote a celebrated and moving reflection on the challenges facing young Black America. Originally published in the New Yorker, the essay incisively and lovingly observed the experiences, attitudes, and cultural expressions of what she referred to as the Trayvon Generation, who even as children could not be shielded from the brutality that has affected the lives of so many Black people. The Trayvon Generation expands the viral essay that spoke so resonantly to the persistence of race as an ongoing issue at the center of the American experience. Alexander looks both to our past and our future with profound insight, brilliant analysis, and mighty heart, interweaving her voice with groundbreaking works of art by some of our most extraordinary artists. At this crucial time in American history when we reckon with who we are as a nation and how we move forward, Alexander's lyrical prose gives us perspective informed by historical understanding, her lifelong devotion to education, and an intimate grasp of the visioning power of art. This breathtaking  book is essential reading and an expression of both the tragedies and hopes for the young people of this era that is sure to be embraced by those who are leading the movement for change and anyone rising to meet the moment.

  Jena 1800 - The Republic of Free...

  Around the turn of the nineteenth century, a steady stream of young German poets and thinkers coursed to the town of Jena to make history. The French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars had dealt a one-two punch to the dynastic system. Confidence in traditional social, political, and religious norms had been replaced by a profound uncertainty that was as terrifying for some as it was exhilarating for others. Nowhere was the excitement more palpable than among the extraordinary group of poets, philosophers, translators, and socialites who gathered in this Thuringian village. 
   
   
   
  Jena became the place for the young and intellectually curious, the site of a new departure, of philosophical disruption. Influenced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, then an elder statesman and artistic eminence, the leading figures among the disruptors—the translator August Wilhelm Schlegel; the philosophers Friedrich "Fritz" Schlegel and Friedrich Schelling; the dazzling, controversial intellectual Caroline Schlegel, married to August; Dorothea Schlegel, a poet and translator, married to Fritz; and the poets Ludwig Tieck and Novalis—resolved to rethink the world, to establish a republic of free spirits. They didn't just question inherited societal traditions; with their provocative views of the individual and of nature, they revolutionized our understanding of freedom and reality.
