It happened here: Hamburg and the Shoah

As an internationally oriented port and commercial city, Hamburg did not correspond to the priorities set by National Socialism after 1933. However, this is precisely why the Hanseatic city enjoyed numerous privileges and compensation measures during the Nazi era, which were clearly expressed, for example, in the Greater Hamburg Law of 1937 or in the plans for the future “Führerstadt”. In this way, Hamburg became particularly deeply entangled in the Nazi system of rule. This applied not least to the crimes of the “Third Reich”, which could be implemented particularly efficiently in Hamburg as the “Reichsgau” with short decision-making processes and close-knit networks.

Prof. Dr. Frank Bajohr, who has worked for many years at the Research Center for Contemporary History in Hamburg, has been the scientific director of the Center for Holocaust Studies at the Institute for Contemporary History in Munich since 2013 and teaches at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich.
In cooperation with the Research Center for Contemporary History in Hamburg; Moderator: Prof. Dr. Thomas Grossbolting
