Journalists between Hitler and Adenauer takes an in-depth look at German journalism
from the late Weimar period through the postwar decades. Illuminating the roles played
by journalists in the media metropolis of Hamburg, Volker Berghahn focuses on the
lives and work of three remarkable individuals: Marion Countess Dönhoff, distinguished
editor of Die Zeit; Paul Sethe, "the grand old man of West German journalism"; and
Hans Zehrer, editor in chief of Die Welt. All born before 1914, Dönhoff, Sethe, and
Zehrer witnessed the Weimar Republic's end and opposed Hitler. When the latter seized
power in 1933, they were, like their fellow Germans, confronted with the difficult
choice of entering exile, becoming part of the active resistance, or joining the Nazi
Party. Instead, they followed a fourth path--"inner emigration"--psychologically distancing
themselves from the regime, their writing falling into a gray zone between grudging
collaboration and active resistance. During the war, Dönhoff and Sethe had links
to the 1944 conspiracy to kill Hitler, while Zehrer remained out of sight on a North
Sea island. In the decades after 1945, all three became major figures in the West
German media. Berghahn considers how these journalists and those who chose inner emigration
interpreted Germany's horrific past and how they helped to morally and politically
shape the reconstruction of the country. With fresh archival materials, Journalists
between Hitler and Adenauer sheds essential light on the influential position of the
German media in the mid-twentieth century and raises questions about modern journalism
that remain topical today--Publisher's description
