New: The Diaries of Joseph Goebbels Online

Oxford users now have access to Die Tagebücher von Joseph Goebbels Online / The Diaries of Joseph Goebbels Online.

Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Reich’s Minister for Propaganda 1933-45. As leading member of the German National Socialist Party and Propaganda Minister in Hitler’s government 1933-1945, the diaries of Joseph Goebbels are a key source for the Third Reich and the history of the Nazi party and Hitler himself.

This edition in German is issued by the Institut für Zeitgeschichte. It includes a transcription of all handwritten entries from the years 1923 to July 1941 and the subsequent dictations up until 1945 and is based on the reproduction of the entire diaries on glass microfiches – commissioned by Goebbels himself – that was discovered by Elke Fröhlich in the former special archive in Moscow.

For the first time, the database gives researchers the chance to access the diaries of Joseph Goebbels electronically using the valuable subject index that until now was available in print only.
