Description

Explore ground-breaking research into the Merker affair through this historical study by Palgrave Macmillan. This book examines the events in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) during the early 1950s when Paul Merker, a member of the ruling party Politburo, was caught in a period of agent hysteria. After being deposed, arrested, and convicted on espionage charges, the Merker affair became a symbol of alleged antisemitism in the GDR. This work looks beyond the history of the early Cold War to analyze how the narrative of an antisemitic GDR has developed. It provides a deep look into the politics of memory and the cultural significance of these historical events within Central European history.
