It explores how and why Nazi values continued to be influential in a post-Nazi era in postwar Central Europe and provides valuable insights into the Cold War as a point of interaction of local, national and international politics. Though Austria was re-established in 1945 as Hitler's 'first victim', many Austrians continued to share principles which had underpinned the Third Reich. Long treated as both inferior and threatening prior to the rise of Hitler and then persecuted during his time in power, the Slovenes of Carinthia were prevented from equality of schooling by local Nazis in the years that followed World War Two, behavior that was tolerated in Vienna and largely ignored by the rest of the world. Slavs in Post-Nazi Austria uses this vital case study to discuss wider issues relating to the stubborn legacy of Nazism in postwar Europe and to instill a deeper understanding of the interplay between collective and individual (liberal) rights in Central Europe. This is a fascinating study for anyone interested in knowing more about the disturbing imprint that Nazism left in some parts of Europe in the postwar years"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAcculturation$xPolitical aspects$zAustria$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCold War$xSocial aspects$zAustria$xHistory 606 $aNational socialism$xSocial aspects$zAustria$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSlovenes$xCivil rights$zAustria$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSlovenes$xCultural assimilation$zAustria$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSlovenes$zAustria$zCarinthia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $2European history 607 $aAustria$xEthnic relations$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aCarinthia (Austria)$xEthnic relations$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aAcculturation$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aCold War$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aNational socialism$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aSlovenes$xCivil rights$xHistory 615 0$aSlovenes$xCultural assimilation$xHistory 615 0$aSlovenes$xHistory 676 $a305.8918/40436609045 700 $aKnight$b Robert$f1952-$01185659 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162766303321 996 $aSlavs in post-Nazi Austria$92787554 997 $aUNINA
