Writing the Digital History of Nazi Germany: Potentialities and Challenges of Digitally Researching and Presenting the History of the Third Reich, World War II, and the Holocaust

The digital has become ubiquitous in everyday life. Digitization¹ has also impacted the humanities and specifically the field of history: Recent years have seen a plethora of publications that deal with new methods, historical insights, and historiographical opportunities and challenges afforded by digital innovations. This book aims to join this conversation by zooming in on digital history projects and approaches that focus on the history of Nazi Germany,World War II, and the Holocaust. It presents a collection of essays on how the digital can be used to
present and analyze topics and sources related to the period of Nazi Germany, written by authors in the light of their own experiences of actually doing so. The book evolved out of papers given at a workshop which took place at Jacobs University Bremen in December 2019.
