Proceedings and Resolutions of the First Congress, 1921
Editor:
The 1921 founding congress in Moscow of the Red International of Labour Unions was a historic event. That gathering set out to create an international revolutionary trade-union organisation embracing millions of workers, and it brought together a wide variety of forces within the world labour movement. Lively and at times acrimonious debates occurred at the congress with syndicalist and other currents over the purpose and tasks of trade unions, the nature of class-struggle unionism, and union strategy and tactics.
The congress proceedings, published here in a richly annotated edition, are part of a multi-volume series on the Communist International in Lenin’s time.

Children and Cultural Capital in the Americas
Author:
A class of child artists in Mexico, a ship full of child refugees from Spain, classrooms of child pageant actors, and a pair of boy ambassadors revealed facets of hemispheric politics in the Good Neighbor era. Culture-makers in the Americas tuned into to children as producers of cultural capital to advance their transnational projects. In many instances, prevailing conceptions of children as innocent, primitive, dependent, and underdeveloped informed perceptions of Latin America as an infantilized region, a lesser "Other Americas" on the continent. In other cases, children's interventions in the cultural politics, economic projects, and diplomatic endeavors of the interwar period revealed that Latin American children saw themselves as modern, professional, participants in forging inter-American relationships.

NS-"Euthanasie" und ihre Nachgeschichte
Author:
An der hessischen Heilerziehungsanstalt Kalmenhof lassen sich zahlreiche Formen der NS-"Euthanasie"-Verbrechen studieren. Die Einrichtung war nicht nur als „Zwischenanstalt“ für die Tötungsanstalt Hadamar in die „Aktion T4“ eingebunden. Ende 1941 wurde zudem eine „Kinderfachabteilung“ eingerichtet, in der Kinder und Jugendliche ermordet wurden. Darüber hinaus wurden während der gesamten Kriegszeit Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene mit Medikamenten und durch gezielte Mangelernährung getötet. Tatort war fast immer das anstaltseigene Krankenhaus. Ab den 1970er Jahren wurde das Gebäude als kinder- und jugendpsychiatrische Einrichtung genutzt, bis es schließlich leer stand. Als es 2016 verkauft werden sollte, wurden Proteste laut. Im Zuge neuer Forschungen steht nun nicht nur die NS-Geschichte zur Diskussion, sondern auch die Haltung zur Tat und zu den Tatbeteiligten in der Nachkriegszeit und der Umgang mit den Gräbern der über 700 Ermordeten des Kalmenhofs.
