Berghahn Books Ltd, Oxford / New York. New book: THE WOMEN'S CAMP IN MORINGEN. A Memoir of Imprisonment in Germany 1936-1937. Translated by Hildegard Herz and Howard Hartig. Edited and with an Introduction by Jane Caplan, Fellow of St Antony's College, Oxford, and University Lecturer in Modern History. The Nazi regime opened its first concentration camps within weeks of coming to power, but with the exception of Dachau the history of these early, improvised camps and their inmates is not yet widely known. Gabriele Herz's memoir, published for the first time, is a unique record of a Jewish woman's detention in the first women's concentration camp in Moringen (housed in part of an old-established workhouse), at a time when most other inmates were communists or Jehovah's Witnesses. This original translation of her wry and perceptive memoir is accompanied by an extensive introduction that sets Herz's experience in the history both of political detention under the Nazi regime and of the German workhouse system.

(In June 2004 the Moscow City Court ruled to uphold a lower court decision to ban the activity of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Moscow and to liquidate their legal entity. This is in stark contrast to the legal status of the Witnesses in the rest of Russia, where they are registered in 398 communities in 72 regions. Even before this ruling entered into legal force, Jehovah’s Witnesses experienced adverse consequences both in Moscow and in other parts of Russia.)

[“On March 24, the Higher Administrative Court [Oberverwaltungsgericht, OVG] decided once again that the religious organization fulfills the requirements to be granted the rights of corporation under Public Law. The court did not allow for revision. What is left is the possibility for the State of Berlin to file a complaint at the Federal Administrative Court (Bundesverwaltungsgericht, BVerwG). […] According to the court, all accusations made against them [Jehovah’s Witnesses] proved to be unsubstantiated. ‘As a result, the defendant (the State of Berlin) could only rely on so-called reports by dropouts, [and] reports from anti-sect initiatives …’ However, family courts, physicians, psychologists, and scientific examinations did not confirm their view of matters. ‘It could hardly be expected [that], with hindsight, dropouts could draw any positive aspects from their experiences with the association.’ This assessment of the court is diametrically opposed to the activities of the commissioners for sect issues of the [two] mainstream churches who base their negative judgment about the religious competitors not only on these ‘reports by dropouts’ but also collaborate very closely with these former members and with anti-sect organizations.”]
