  The fourth issue of the magazine "Historische Urteilskraft" deals with the German occupation in Europe during the Second World War.

  Historical Judgement 03. Magazine of the Deutsches Historisches Museums

  The cover story of the third issue focuses on Karl Marx and Richard Wagner together. Based on the three discourses "anti-Semitism", "alienation" and "revolution", it examines the extent to which the ideologies of these two "German thinkers" can be related to each other - and the extent to which they are specifically German reactions to modernity and capitalism.

  Historical Judgement 01. Magazine of the Deutsches Historisches Museum

  Starting from an outstanding, but also controversial object in the Permanent Exhibition of the Deutsches Historisches Museum – the Stone Cross of Cape Cross – the first issue of the magazine is devoted to the topic of “colonial objects and historical justice” and also contains, among other things, articles on the theory of democracy, on the relation between anti-Semitism and economy, and on the difference between historiography and narrative.
