...German middle class? How could so many "good Germans" have been so bad? This picture, based on a play by Carl (The Blue Angel) Zuckmayer and magnificently directed by Helmut Käutner (The Captain of Köpenick), gives an answer that apparently satisfies the Germans. Made in Hamburg in 1955, the movie has been running for 18 months in West Germany and has grossed 4,000,000 DM. But the U.S. moviegoer, while acknowledging the film's superlative skill and horror as a biopsy of the Nazi cancer, may have some reservations about how it reads...
Vain Appeal. Labor's doubts and fears were shared last week by troubled men all the way from Hamburg to Hiroshima. Unlike George Brown, the Japanese, who live relatively close (4,700 miles) to Britain's Christmas Island testing area were entirely confident that they knew what the British were doing. Declaring that the test would pollute Japan's Pacific fishing grounds, the Japan Council Against Atom and Hydrogen Bombs noisily formulated plans to send a "peace fleet" into the 750,000 square miles of ocean which Britain has declared off limits to shipping between March...
...conscious of the enormity of the crimes they once condoned. Her poignant, posthumously published and dramatized diary became a hit play in scores of German cities as well as in the U.S. She herself, dead at 15, lies buried in a mass grave at Belsen, 50 miles south of Hamburg, where some 25,000 of her fellow Jews died in the last two years of Hitler's war. In the cold drizzle of a wintry Sunday morning last week, some 1,500 young Germans journeyed out to Belsen to lay flowers on her grave. A Hamburg jazz club emptied...
Although a scholar for most of his life, Professor von Blanckenhagen has through a combination of desire and circumstance begun his teaching career comparatively recently. He entered Hamburg University in 1929 and transferred to Berlin in 1930. Thence he went to Rome for independent study and research, receiving his doctorate from Munich in 1936. As a humanist, he was loath to begin an academic career under the Nazis. His first academic position, as a non-teaching fellow, was with the University of Marburg in 1941, from whence he was appointed to the faculty of Hamburg University in 1946. From...
...encampment under canvas outside the city. There were penitential processions and prayers. A few looters (including five Irishmen) were executed. The quake destroyed a great many of the city's 40-odd churches and 90 convents, as well as the "best fish market in the world." London and Hamburg sent food, building materials and money, but the principal aftereffect of the Lisbon shock was sermonizing...
