Die Eigentumsfrage bei der #Weltbühne war seit den 1930er Jahren immer kompliziert. Kurt R. Grossmann merkte 1951 im New Yorker "Aufbau" Folgendes an. Mehr zu den Eigentumsverhältnissen bei den "Weltbühnen" zwischen den 1930er und 1990er Jahren gibt es hier: www.aufbau-verlage.de/aufbau/hinte...

The new book by @kathiprager.bsky.social 'A Game as Mindless as Love: The Life of Satirist Karl Kraus' is magnificent, especially for former Berliners like me who have always struggled to understand the coexistence of reactionary and progressive elements in Vienna around 1900. 1/2

Bob (R.I.) Moore, Professor @newcastleuni.bsky.social for many years, died this morning. He leaves behind an impressive body of academic work, including his masterpiece “The First European Revolution, c. 970-1215”. He was also a pioneer of comparative world history. We will sorely miss him.

Meine Rezension zu Torsten Konopka, "Deutsche Blauhelme in Afrika. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland und die Missionen der Vereinten Nationen Anfang der 1990er Jahre" heute in der FAZ. Fazit: Die Bekämpfung humanitärer Notlagen war für die Bundesregierung weniger entscheidend als man vermuten könnte.
