This volume documents the first Colloquium on the History
of Demography in Germany in the Twentieth Century, held in Bad Homburg,
Germany, on July 23-25, 1997. It includes presentations by
demographers, historians, and sociologists. Edited versions of the
resulting discussions are also included. The main aim of the meeting
was to begin an ongoing discussion about the past, present, and future
of population studies in Germany, with special attention to the effects
of the National Socialist era. The manuscript of Bernard vom Brocke's
literature review was provided to the participants as a resource and
basis for discussion.

population studies, see 65:41643.
