It focuses on their special assimilation process as immigrants who belonged to a culture different from the dominant Eastern European socialist Zionism and as a professional group which belonged to a marginalized discipline.

While the economic, political, and military bonds between Spain and Nazi Germany have received much attention, the close cultural exchange between the two fascist states is little known. Thanks to its neutrality in World War I, Spain became a top priority of German cultural foreign policy in the 1930s. The Hitler government not only sought to extend its influence through German culture in Spain, but also encouraged Hispanic culture in Germany through the creation of German-Spanish societies. From 1930 to 1945 the Deutsch-Spanische Gesellschaftin Berlin (DSG) emerged as a main axis of the cultural relations between the two countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the issue of integrating immigrants into German society. The author questions whether in an increasingly globalized economy, radical economic change can be decoupled from cultural change. Structural economic change has made Germany a magnet for low qualification immigrants who make up a large percentage of the unemployed. The author proposes future immigration based on economic and social needs of the host country and presents many immigrant housing recommendations.

The article discusses the history and statutory provisions of legislation in Germany to combat discrimination against ethnic groups, whether they consist of guest workers, refugees, or immigrants. U.S. Affirmative Action is dismissed as strengthening the notion of an individual as a representative of an ethnic group. Policy problems of reducing ethnic discrimination are examined.

This article discusses the everyday discrimination of foreign women in Germany. The author presents the result of a survey of female immigrants in Frankfurt am Main. The author writes that the living situation of foreign women has not been given enough attention within the sociological community in Germany. The author also studies the impact that German reunification had on these women.

This article discusses whether work really occupies the integration and organizational principles. The author presents a structural analysis of unemployment and the historical and philosophical debates concerning work. The social-cultural potential of work and the integration into live world situations are also defined.

This article discusses the topic of aging immigrants in Germany. Many of those who are reaching retirement age are from the postwar guest worker programs. Many of them wish to remain in the country their children have grown up in, as their native countries are foreign to them. Other concerns include the fact that many of these immigrants have worse health than Germans of the same age; it is financially impossible for many older immigrants to return to their native countries; and many are simply used to the living standards in Germany.

The article offers observations based on a preceding article in this issue by Georg Auernheimer on intercultural education (IP) in Germany. The author notes that Germany has no tradition of intercultural exchange or multilingualism and a history of segregation, expulsion, or destruction of minority groups. Comparisons with assimilation practices of immigrant countries like the U.S. and Great Britain are said to be misguided.

The article offers observations based on a preceding article in this issue by Georg Auernheimer on intercultural education in Germany. The author claims that the society assimilating the immigrant insists on adherence to its constitution and laws, national language, general educational system, and learning to be adaptive to the majority, and should not encourage the isolation of the immigrant subculture.

The article focuses on immigration policy as determined by the Federal Government of Germany. In particular, its policy encompasses the integration of resettlers coming to Germany as well as assistance for Germans living in resettlement areas. The article discusses issues such as maintaining a national identity and cooperation between Germany and Russia.
