One theory that she will explore in her lecture is that non-Jewish Germans disguised vio- lence as ‘art’ to justify their failure to comply with interna- tional or humanitarian beliefs. \nMartina Kessel is a Historian of Modern Germany at Biele- feld University\, Germany\, with particular interest in inclu- sion and exclusion\, the history of violence\, international relations\, gender and cultural history. She has written on British and French policy towards Germany after 1945; \na History of Boredom in the 19th century\, and on ques- tions of theory and historiography. Her forthcoming book is titled Gewalt und Gelächter. ‚Deutschsein‘ 1914-1945  (Laughter and Violence. ‘Being German’ 1914 – 1945). \nThis lecture is part of the Gerda Henkel Lecture Series\, organized by GHI West\, the Pacific Regional Office of the Germany Historical Institute\, Washington DC\, in coopera- tion with the Gerda Henkel Foundation and the UCLA Department of History.
