Beiträge zur Rotkreuzgeschichte
Between 1941 and 1945, around 3,500 to 4,000 men who had fallen into German hands off Norway, the South Atlantic, the Galapagos or Sumatra were held in the naval internment camp - MILAG for short - in Westertimke. Those who survived attacks by the Kriegsmarine and were taken prisoner were often greeted on board with the phrase 'For you the war is over!'. In captivity, a multi-layered camp life developed in the middle of the North German Plain, which included culture, religion, education and sport. The village itself was the focus of worldwide attention for members of the civilian sailors before they were liberated by British troops on 28 April 1945.
Gelobtes Land
In today's secular and pluralistic Europe, a resurgence of interest in religion can be observed, which is often characterised by conflict. Especially since the migration movements from the Global South have led to a diversity of denominational affiliations, which in the Christian West are confronted with a growing number of people leaving the church. This volume "Gelobtes Land" examines how the examination of religion in the literatures and cultural expressions of Romania contributes to the understanding of European identities and what role the 'sacred' plays in this. Topics include European cohesion and discourses of marginalisation, Europe's relationship to Islam and the connection between spirituality and aesthetics.
