The story of a Jewish chef whose bestselling cookbook was stolen by the Nazis and who had to fight for her survival in England and America: In 1939 the unknown author Rudolf Rösch published a cookbook about Viennese cuisine. SO KOCHT MAN IN WIEN! (This is how you cook in Vienna!) was a cookbook bestseller and is still available today. But Rudolf Rösch had never written this book. Indeed, he may never have existed; a conveniently fictitious product of the Nazi era. The real author was a Viennese Jewess named Alice Urbach. Before the Nazis took over Austria the book had been published under her own name. Now 80 years later, Alice's granddaughter, the historian Karina Urbach, sets out to uncover the true story behind the stolen cookbook.

407 192 - Between Saviour and Villian: 100 Years of Bismarck(Cambridge University Press, 1998-12)Urbach, KarinaWhile non-German biographers of Bismarck have usually kept a healthy distance from their subject, German biographers have often allowed their political and religious views to influence their portraits. Most German historians of the `long nineteenth century' were fascinated by, as Hegel would have called it, the genius of such a `world historical individual'. Their work greatly influenced the images of Bismarck during the time of the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich. Their counterparts in the 1960s and 1970s, however focused critically on the `impersonal' movements of the Bismarckian empire. These, Marxist influenced, analyses did not include any biographies. It was only in the 1980s that three biographers achieved a politically detached evaluation of the chancellor's personality. With the centenary of Bismarck's death in 1998, a return to the pre-1980s views can be noticed in biographies of the chancellor. They threaten to oversimplify Bismarck's personality and government technique again.

179 227 - 'England is pro-Hitler': German popular opinion during the Czechoslovakian crisis, 1938(Manchester University Press, 2021-01-08)
;Urbach, Karina ;Gottlieb, Julie V. ;Hucker, DanielToye, RichardHistory is about perspective as well as information. To understand Germany’s actions during the Czechoslovakian crisis, we have a great deal of information and perspective from the top but much less from the bottom. The reason for this unevenness is obvious. In a dictatorship, people censor themselves continuously – in every letter they write and in every conversation they have. As a consequence, we are left with anecdotal evidence. However, with the help of new sources this article shows that it is possible to combine political and social history to understand this crisis in its multiple dimensions.282 435 - Interview with historian Karina Urbach (German radio)(2017-10-19)

;Urbach, KarinaBernd, BuchnerDieser Quellenfund führt zwei historische Persönlichkeiten zusammen, die man gewöhnlich nicht miteinander in Verbindung bringt: Prinz Max von Baden und Houston Steward Chamberlain, den scheinbar liberalen Prinzen, der im Herbst 1918 den Ersten Weltkrieg zu beenden half, und den Protagonisten eines radikalen Antisemitismus', der auch zu Hitlers Ideengeber wurde. Die Korrespondenz dieser beiden unterschiedlichen Figuren eröffnet viele neue Einsichten: in einem ganz neuen Licht erscheint nicht nur der Prinz; deutlich wird auch, welch große Wirkung die Schriften Chamberlains hatten.359 208
