SUMMARY:NELH Tuesday Meeting: Merilyn Moos\, German Resistance: Enemies of the Nazi State from within the working class movement
DESCRIPTION:Please note the earlier than usual time for this meeting: 6:30 pm \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83015017898?pwd=NDIwOTZURnh2dzBaVVkrSE5ZUzdnZz09 \nMeeting ID: 830 1501 7898\nPasscode: 135427 \nAgainst the position that most Germans did not resist the Nazis\, or even that Nazism was a largely uncontested outcome of Germany history\, I shall be considering the level of organised resistance to the Nazis from within the working class movement in Nazi Germany. \nDespite the leadership of the two major left parties – the Communists and Social Democrats – either being arrested or having fled\, their members separately organised heroic\, yet largely unheard of\, attempts at resistance in their localities. \nI shall touch on the remarkable resistance by local youth\, the role played by forced foreign exiled workers and the – undoubtedly limited – attempts by railway workers to sabotage the train system. I shall finally briefly raise the question of similarities between then and now. \nMerilyn Moos was born in Oxford to refugee parents who had been active anti-Nazi Germans who fled in 1933. She grew up in Durham where she went to the local Grammar School\, then getting a degree at the University of Oxford. She became an FE and HE lecturer\, Branch Secretary of her union branch and active anti-racist. \nAfter retirement\, she has had published a wide number of books\, including  a couple on anti-Nazi Germans. She is on the editorial board of Socialist History and is ex-Chair of the Retired branch of London UCU. \n
