The first indepth history of Langemark German Cemetery to be published with the English speaking visitor in mind, Studetenfriedhof to Soldatenfriedhof tells the story of the evolution of Langemark German cemetery from its creation in the Great War, the influence of the Nazis before and during WW2 and its evolution into the modern cemetery of today. Dispelling many of the myths and legends that surround the cemetery, Studetenfriedhof to Soldatenfriedhof takes the visitor on a detailed self-guided tour, following the route planned by its designer in the early 1930's. The clever use of "then and now" images helps the visitor visualise the evolution of the cemetery and explains the "who, what and why" of it all whilst walking in the footsteps of the past.
The cemetery is located on the south side of Hamel Road in Medina Township, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
US and German military cemeteries in Italy differ in style and message. Analysis, interpretation, and research reveal each nation's ideological character at the time of their design, and point to US becoming politically conservative and conformist, while (West) Germany sought new values.

The Prague Cemetery is the #1 international bestselling historical novel from the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco. Nineteenth-century Europe—from Turin to Prague to Paris—abounds with the ghastly and the mysterious. Jesuits plot against Freemasons. Italian republicans strangle priests with their own intestines. French criminals plan bombings by day and celebrate Black Masses at night. Every nation has its own secret service, perpetrating forgeries, plots, and massacres. Conspiracies rule history. From the unification of Italy to the Paris Commune to the Dreyfus Affair to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Europe is in tumult and everyone needs a scapegoat. But what if behind all of these conspiracies, both real and imagined, lay one lone man? “Choreographed by a truth that is itself so strange a novelist need hardly expand on it to produce a wondrous tale... Eco is to be applauded for bringing this stranger-than-fiction truth vividly to life.” —The New York Times
Recent years have witnessed growing scholarly interest in the history of death. Increasing academic attention toward death as a historical subject in its own right is very much linked to its pre-eminent place in 20th-century history, and Germany, predictably, occupies a special place in these inquiries. This collection of essays explores how German mourning changed over the 20th century in different contexts, with a particular view to how death was linked to larger issues of social order and cultural self-understanding. It contributes to a history of death in 20th-century Germany that does not begin and end with the Third Reich.
