The Impact of National Socialism on the Weekly Der Russlanddeutsche, 1933-1939
Abstract
Hitler's ascent to the chancellorship of the Reich had a diverse impact on German speakers in Argentina. Among those who accepted the new order were the editors of the Der Russlanddeutsche, a weekly newspaper from the province of Entre Ríos catering to the “Germans from Russia”. The article analyzes the reception that periodical gave to National Socialism, from its consolidation as government to the eve of the Second World War. It focuses on the ways in which Hitler's regime and its politics influenced the self-perception of the weekly and its readers. It also studies how their experience impacted on their relations with others who identified themselves as German, as well as with other sectors in Argentine life, in a moment of great fluidity, when the Third Reich had still to take its dimension as a symbol for absolute evil.Downloads
