Science Against Fascism: Reading History Critically, Understanding the Present
On November 9, 2026, the Research Center Africa at the University of Bayreuth invites you to a book presentation on the history of German injustices in the 20th century. The focus is on the textbook German Injustice History in the 20th Century, which examines the injustices of National Socialism and the injustices of the SED dictatorship in their historical contexts.
A Book Between Contemporary History and Political Education
The event combines a scientific book presentation, commentary, and discussion. The work by Benjamin Lahusen, Julia Eichenberg, Marcus M. Payk, and Kim Christian Priemel contextualizes central questions of German dictatorship history and focuses on law, power, institutional responsibility, and historical reappraisal.
The literary quality of this evening does not lie in narrative fiction, but in the precise language of historical analysis. The book presentation makes scientific narratives accessible and opens a space in which terms like injustice, dictatorship, rule of law, and culture of remembrance are critically discussed.
Commentary and Discussion as Collaborative Reflection
Following the book presentation, there will be a commentary conversation. This creates a reading atmosphere of its own kind: Not silent reception is at the forefront, but the authority of sources, the argumentative strength of historical research, and the open exchange with the audience.
The event is aimed at historically and politically interested individuals, students, and anyone who wants to engage with the German history of the 20th century, National Socialism, SED dictatorship, and democratic culture of remembrance.
A Literary Experience of a Special Kind
At the FZA - Research Center Africa at the University of Bayreuth, scientific expertise meets public debate. The intimate atmosphere of a book presentation creates closeness to the editors and their research perspectives, while commentary and discussion open the cultural discourse on responsibility, academic freedom, and historical truth.
The initiative Science Against Fascism understands science as a societal practice. This book presentation also demonstrates how historical research contributes to orientation in a democratic present.
Conclusion: History Needs Publicity
The book presentation German Injustice History in the 20th Century promises a focused evening with sound analysis, historical categorization, and lively discussion. Those who want to understand the German injustice history in a differentiated manner and experience the value of scholarly reappraisal firsthand will find an important place for encounter in Bayreuth.
