Ulrich Herbert, Hitler's Foreign Workers: Enforced Foreign Labor in Germany Under the Third Reich. Translated by William Templer. New York: Cambridge University Press, 1997 [1985]. xi + 510 pp. $79.95 cloth.

However depressing its subject matter, the translation of Ulrich Herbert's exhaustive study on the more than 7.6 million foreigners who were forced into slave labor in Nazi Germany during World War Two is to be warmly welcomed. It is a model study because of its broad archival research base as well as its findings. When the German original appeared in 1985, it helped to redefine the agenda for the study of the Third Reich, and since then a new generation of historians has come along to work on questions that Herbert and others had begun to lay out.

Germany's Anti‐Foreigner Crisis: State Disunity and Collective ‘Forgetting’

Abstract: Employment of foreign labor in Germany is generally perceived as a recent phenomenon; Germany's pre‐war experiences with foreign labor do not figure prominently in public discussion. This article analyzes the active omission of this aspect of the past as an important feature of German social memory. Drawing largely on Ulrich Herbert's research, the forgotten’ history of pre‐ and post‐war experiences with foreign labor is summarized. This provides a perspective on the significant parallels between conflicts today and those of prior periods and exposes a fundamental conflict within the state regarding the use of foreign labor. Anti‐foreigner violence is reinterpreted as representing a failure of the state to maintain ideological unity without periodically responding to powerful and enduring anti‐foreigner pressure.
