ZEITGEIST - The PodcastThe Prosecutor with Jack FairweatherAfter the Second World War and the Holocaust, many Germans wanted nothing more than to leave the past behind and bury discussions around guilt and responsibility. But the German-Jewish lawyer Fritz Bauer made it his mission to bring justice to the Nazis and force a nation to confront its complicity in war and genocide. I speak to Jack Fairweather, author of a new book that brings the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer to life. Get full access to ZEITGEIST at www.katjahoyer.uk/subscribe2025-03-0652 min
The David McWilliams PodcastDeutschland Dilemma: Voting Blocs, Power Shocks & the Bundeswehr Rocks with Katja HoyerGermany’s latest election has sent shockwaves across Europe. The CDU has reasserted itself, but the far-right AfD continues to gain ground, fuelled by economic anxieties and social media echo chambers. Meanwhile, younger voters are breaking in radical new directions, young men shifting right, young women embracing the far left. With NATO under strain, America’s global leadership in question, and the war in Ukraine forcing Germany to confront its historical reluctance to lead, Berlin is at the heart of an unfolding geopolitical realignment. As German arms manufacturers see their stock prices soar, the Bundeswehr prepares to fill the security vacu...2025-02-2742 min

That is a fascinating historical question with very real legal consequences in the present.

Sie kommt aus dem Osten Deutschland und ist 1985 geboren. Also hat sie gerade einmal ihre ersten knapp 5 Lebensjahre in der DDR verbracht. Und doch veröffentlichte sie 2023 das Buch „Diesseits der Mauer – Eine neue Geschichte der DDR“ (Hoffmann und Campe Verlag, Hamburg) und hat damit Furore gemacht.
Katja Hoyer ist einerseits „Spiegel“- und andere Bestsellerin und hat andererseits vielfältige Kritik dafür einstecken müssen. Gut, dass sie – so betont sie auch in dieser Episode des Podcasts – im Ausland lebt und das Werk ursprünglich in Englisch verfasst hat. Mittlerweile wurde es übrigens in 16 Sprachen übersetzt.

Eine neue Geschichte der DDR“) sagt in dieser Folge des Scholz-Updates, was man aus den Ergebnissen in Thüringen, Sachsen und Brandenburg lernen kann und wieso die Menschen dort keine schlechteren Demokraten sind, nur weil sie in großer Zahl die AfD gewählt haben: „Wenn sich die Ostdeutschen bei Wahlen von traditionellen Parteien abwenden, heißt das nicht unbedingt, dass sie sich von der Demokratie abwenden. Dass die Wahlbeteiligung so hoch war, zeigt doch, dass die Leute wissen, dass es um was geht, und sie deswegen ihre Stimme abgeben wollen.“ 2024-09-2546 min

ZEITGEIST - The PodcastGerman Cars with James MayGerman car making is nearly as old as the state itself and woven into the national fabric. It fuelled the country’s innovative zeal during its ‘second’ Industrial Revolution at the end of the 19th century. It was a crucial pillar of Hitler’s social and economic vision for Nazi Germany. The lack of automotive desirability made East Germans yearn for more while its presence restored West German confidence. And now?

Es ist das vielleicht umstrittenste Geschichtsbuch der letzten Jahre: Die heftigen Diskussionen, die um die Historikerin Katja Hoyer und ihre DDR-Betrachtung „Diesseits der Mauer“ entbrannt sind, sagen jedoch eher etwas über die deutsche Ostdebatte als über dieses Werk: Das bietet nämlich erstmals einen so umfassenden wie neutralen Blick.

That state was East Germany or the German Democratic Republic (GDR). This was a nation that emerged out of the ashes of World War II and existed until the collapse of the Eastern Bloc in 1990. The GDR is remembered today in the West as a neurotic, oppressive nation, synonymous with its Ministry for State Security or Stasi...2023-04-0456 min
