Produktinformationen zu „German Atrocities: Their Nature and Philosophy (ePub)“
During the beginning of the First World War in 1914, after Germany declared war on France, some friends who managed to escape from Belgium brought with them the stories of German frightfulness that filled all hearers with horror. Being unwilling to accept their testimony without further evidence, Congregationalist minister, writer, and philosopher Newell Dwight Hillis began his own research, collecting letters, magazine articles, testimonies of eye-witnesses, books, photographs, reports of the various commissions. This work contains a simple record of the raw facts. Although many carefully studied atrocities could not be presented in this report because the witnesses reasonably feared that their families, just behind the German lines, might be made to suffer were their testimony to become known. The first two chapters represent the substance of addresses given in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, Indianapolis, and some thirty other cities connected with the Second Liberty Loan. The third, to an extent, presents views of addresses in Cincinnati, Louisville, New Orleans, Houston, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Butte, Denver, and thirty other cities during the First Liberty Loan. Contents German Atrocities, Their Nature and Philosophy The Pan-German Empire Scheme, for Which Germany Lost Her Soul What the United States and Her Allies are Fighting For Astounding Claims and Records From German Sources Illustrations Portraying German Atrocities
Autoren-Porträt von Newell Dwight Hillis
Newell Dwight Hillis (1858-1929) was a prominent American preacher, speaker, and author in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Educated at Lake Forest University and McCormick Theological Seminary, Hillis notably served as pastor of the Plymouth Church in Brooklyn, succeeding the influential Henry Ward Beecher. Renowned for his eloquence and progressive social views, Hillis's oratory skills were matched by his prolific writing. He penned a substantial number of books covering a range of topics from self-help and inspiration to social issues and religious philosophy. Among his works, 'German Atrocities: Their Nature and Philosophy' stands out as a reflection of his commentary on the darker aspects of human behavior and the moral crises of wartime. This volume, like many of Hillis's writings, weaves together his moral perspectives with contemporary historical events, evidencing the literary style that melds reportage with advocacy and sermon-like reflection. Hillis's contributions to literature and social thought encapsulate the ethos of his era, drawing upon the principles of moral uplift and the belief in progress that characterized much of early 20th century American intellectual life.
