Observation from the jury:
“Who comes to a decision how we learn the previous? Stephan Malinowski has written an outstandingly researched and brilliantly narrated e-book at the function of the Hohenzollerns since 1918. Malinowski’s resolution to the query of whether or not the ruling circle of relatives aided and abetted the Nazis is apparent: in construction the ‘3rd Reich’, the Hohenzollern dynasty and the Nazi motion cast a symbolic-political alliance. The e-book, which mixes social and political fresh historical past with a circle of relatives portrait, could also be a super find out about of a conservative and rightwing milieu and its hostility to the Republic.

Malinowski provides a resounding resolution to the Hohenzollerns’ restitution claims whilst on the similar time protecting educational freedom towards the forces that oppose it.”
