Sedlmayr still controversial

by | 11 April 2008 | Books

In Die Welt, Alexander Gauland defends Sedlmayr’s 1948 book Verlust der Mitte (Loss of the Center) from charges leveled recently by Rolf Schneider. Gauland argues that the book isn’t Nazi, it’s just conservative. (For more on Sedlmayr, we recommend the 2000 Vienna School Reader edited by Christopher S. Wood.)
