Title: A “Vital Feeling” of “Humanist Hatred”: Narratives of Sovereignty and Totalitarian Childhoods
Author: Blumenthal-Barby, Martin
Appeared in: Debatte
Paging: Volume 15 (2007) nr. 1 pages 65-86
Year: 2007-04
Contents: After the German Democratic Republic suddenly collapsed in 1989/90, the Junge Pioniere (“Young Pioneers”) youth organization became, overnight, a closed object of research—as did the GDR's children's and youth literature. From the perspective of totalitarianism scholarship, the process of reassessing the GDR dictatorship is intimately bound up with the question of commonalities and differences with the National Socialist state. The present study into the Young Pioneers organization and its received children's and youth literature is to be understood in the context of this comparative perspective. The study of the Young Pioneers and “their” genuine socialist CYL will reveal how much the “Stunde Null” idea of starting entirely afresh in East Germany remained fraught with complexities.
