This collaborative workshop will engage in a close reading and critical analysis of primary source documents (in English translation) from 4 key moments in post-World War II German history: an excerpt of a transcript from a focus group discussion among working-class women held in 1950 in Frankfurt/Main, in which themes of Nazi sexual politics and the tenacious persistence of antidisability animus and “eugenic” propaganda are evident; excerpts from the testimony of coercive sterilization survivors and a historian advocating on their behalf at a session of the Bundestag in 1987; politicians’ cross-party motion of 2011 calling for a federal memorial to the victims of the Nazi “euthanasia” murders; and AfD and CDU campaign posters expressing opposition to inclusion of children with disabilities in mainstream schools.
