Abstract:

This article reflects upon some of the issues arising from the author's work on the ‘Hitler émigrés’. It looks in particular at the reasons for the huge recent resurgence of scholarly (and popular) interest in the history of the Second World War, Hitler, Nazism and the Holocaust; the relevance – or otherwise – of the Jewishness of many of the ‘Hitler émigrés’ to what they went on to achieve; and finally culture and identity among asylum-seekers and immigrants, then and now.
