Interesting enough about Kuehne & Nagel but the @financialtimes.com (of all newspapers!) should know that the suggestion that German companies are only now being forced to engage with their difficult pasts is just nonsense - this has been a live topic for a good 30 years.

Eine Organisation, die gar nicht existiert, soll überall verboten und ihe nicht existierenden Mitglieder verhaftet werden. Bis vor wenigen Jahren wäre solches politisches Personal ausgelacht und zum Psychiater geschickt worden. Heute bekleidet es Präsidenten- und Ministerämter.

‘Prejudice against the disabled was still so widespread that in 1980 a Frankfurt court ordered the reimbursement of the cost of a hotel to a tourist who had been upset by the presence of a group of guests with cerebral palsy.’

If you believe there’s no such thing as too many books, here’s a wonderful opportunity for a bargain, including titles in our “Studies in German History” series… www.berghahnbooks.com/series/studi...

For me it's about working to ensure that the machine-like character of universities doesn't reproduce itself in our individual working habits. The downside: it takes a long time to produce books (or it does for me, at least).

I like the inbuilt inefficiency of it all - it's part of what creates the space for slow thinking.

I'm old enough to remember the NF and BNP in the 1970s. But the scale and intensity of racist hate that's being whipped up now is in many ways worse. Not least because so many "mainstream" politicians and so much of the media are actively fanning the flames.

Es ist wirklich bitter, wenn Vertreter*innen der vorgeblichen Parteien der Mitte, rechtsextreme Talking Points wiedergeben. Hier aus der Hamburger FDP. Die Merz-Union macht es doch gerade vor, dass man durch Übernahme rechter Ideen, die Rechten nicht halbiert, sondern stärkt
