Английская Википедия:Hellmut G. Haasis
Шаблон:Short description Hellmut G. Haasis (born 7 January 1942)[1] is a German historian, author, and broadcaster. He is particularly known for his biographies of Georg Elser who attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1939; Reinhard Heydrich who was one of the main architects of the Holocaust; and Joseph Süß Oppenheimer who was executed in 1738 and in 1940 was the subject of a notorious Nazi anti-semitic propaganda film, Jud Süß. Haasis was born in Mühlacker, a town in the Swabia region of Germany, and has written two novels in Swabian dialect as well as a collection of poetry. He is the recipient of the Thaddäus Troll Literature Prize, the Schubart Literature Prize, and the Civis Media Prize.
Life and career
Haasis was born in Mühlacker in southwestern Germany in 1942, the youngest of Edwin and Gertrude Haasis's three children. His father was a Protestant pastor who was killed in 1944 during an Allied Forces bombing raid on Strasbourg where he was serving as a purser on German military hospital trains.[2] Initially intending to become a clergyman,[3] Hellmut Haasis studied Protestant theology, history, sociology and political science at universities in Tübingen, Marburg and Bonn from 1961 to 1966. After completing his doctoral thesis under Jürgen Moltmann in 1971, he worked as a political commentator, writer and broadcaster.[2] He also made study trips to Italy during the worker and student unrest there in the 1970s. His observation of a major series of strikes at Fiat's Mirafiori plant led to his 1976 article, "Fiat–Legende und Wirklichkeit" which discussed the company's "reorganization in the name of humanization" as an attempt to destroy its militant work groups.[4] During that period he also travelled to Sardinia where he photographed the island's political graffiti murals. He later published the images as a series of postcards.[5]
A self-described libertarian socialist,[3] Haasis wrote several books during the 1980s on German social and political history. These included Spuren der Besiegten (Traces of the vanquished), a three volume history of popular uprisings and freedom movements in Germany from the peasant revolts during the Thirty Years War to the anti-nuclear movement in the late 20th century. In the mid-1980s he also served briefly on the Reutlingen City Council as a member from the coalition of the German Green Party and the Independents.[6] Haasis's literary breakthrough came in 1989 with the publication of his novel, Em Chrischdian sei Leich (A Christian's corpse). Written in Swabian dialect, the novel went on to win the 1990 Thaddäus Troll Literature Prize. He published a second novel in Swabian in 2008 entitled Heisel Rein der Gscheite Narr (Heisel Rein the clever fool). The book is a fictionalized account of the life of Reinhold Haussler (aka Heisel Rein) who was murdered in 1940 at the Grafeneck Euthanasia Centre.[7] In addition to his novels and non-fiction works, Haasis has published short stories, poems, dramas and radio plays. He also performs (primarily in schools) in the persona of "Märchenclown Druiknui" (Druiknui, the fairy tale clown), the protagonist of a children's book by Haasis published in 2005.[8][9]
