Origin and development

The results of the research at HIS were initially published by various publishers. In the autumn of 1994 the in-house publishing house was founded, which presented books for the first time in the spring of 1995. In terms of content, they dealt with topics that still shape the work at HIS today: anti-Semitism , nationalism , Stalinism , xenophobia as well as the theory and history of violence and the development of mass crimes such as genocide and their legal and social consequences.

Over the years the program has followed the expanded and changing research topics of the HIS.
