Stimmen der Zeit: Deutschland im 20. jahrhundert

Stimmen der Zeit, a unique history of Germany in the 20th century, told through the voices of the personalities who defined the era. Comprising three hour-long compact discs with MP3 and a 216-page electronic transcription (PDF) on a separate CD with an extensive German-English glossary, Stimmen der Zeit offers listeners an opportunity to hear the voices and see the faces of Germans who shaped their country's history in the last century, as well as those who made significant social, technological, economic, intellectual, and artistic contributions. In the first hour, you hear rare, early recordings of Kaiser Wilhelm II, General Paul von Hindenburg, Albert Einstein, Alfred Braun, Thomas Mann, and Bertolt Brecht. On the second CD, the chilling voices of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Eichmann, and Hermann Göring help tell the story of a nation plunged into darkness, while subsequent segments, including excerpts from speeches by Konrad Adenauer and Willy Brandt, recount how West Germany laid new democratic foundations in the postwar period and achieved its "economic miracle." The third CD, covering the last 30 years of the century, presents the politicians who sought to preserve a socialist society in East Germany, as well as such contemporary leaders as Helmut Kohl, Johannes Rau, Merkel & Schroder who worked to reunite a nation and set it on a sound course for the future.
