The “HPI Future SOC Lab” is a cooperation of the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) and industry partners. Its mission is to enable and promote exchange and interaction between the research community and the industry partners. The HPI Future SOC Lab provides researchers with free of charge access to a complete infrastructure of state of the art hard and software. This infrastructure includes components, which might be too expensive for an ordinary research environment, such as servers with up to 64 cores and 2 TB main memory. The offerings address researchers particularly from but not limited to the areas of computer science and business information systems. Main areas of research include cloud computing, parallelization, and In-Memory technologies. This technical report presents results of research projects executed in 2018. Selected projects have presented their results on April 17th and November 14th 2017 at the Future SOC Lab Day events.

Despite the nearly three decades since German reunification, there remains little understanding of the ways in which experiences overlapped across East-West divides. German Division as Shared Experience considers everyday life across the two Germanies, using perspectives from history, literary and cultural studies, anthropology and art history to explore how interconnections as well as fractures between East and West Germany after 1945 were experienced, lived and felt. Through its novel approach to historical method, the volume points to new understandings of the place of narrative, form and lived sensibility in shaping Germans’ simultaneously shared and separate experiences of belonging during forty years of division from 1945 to 1990.

On pp. 7-38, Irene Runge recreates the everyday life of Germans as reflected in newspapers during the weeks just before and after "Kristallnacht". Kurt Pätzold (p. 39-110) reviews the history of the pogrom and subsequent anti-Jewish measures, the largely negative reaction of the German public to the violence, aid to Jewish neighbors and protest by a courageous few, and protests abroad, along with failure to take effective action to rescue Jews. Suggests that beyond its immediate goals, the pogrom served to habituate the German people to future atrocities. Pp. 111-233 reproduce official Nazi directives and reports concerning "Kristallnacht", reminiscences of Jewish victims, articles from the German and the foreign press, and speeches and letters by prominent persons abroad, mostly Germans in exile.
