Historical Note

Der Monat, a German-language political and cultural journal, first appeared in Germany inOctober 1948. After the Allied occupation of Germany in November 1944, all German mediaservices were suspended. The Office of the Military Government for Germany (US) [OMGUS]filled the information gap, which resulted from this prohibition with the issuing of various so-called "overt publications," of which Der Monat was the fifth to appear. Melvin J. Lasky, thefirst editor of Der Monat, worked out of the Political Information Branch of the InformationServices Division of the OMGUS, and in close association with the New York Field Office.German editors joined the staff in later years.

Der Monat's purpose was two-fold: to serve as a weapon against communism and fascism, and tobe a voice for Western ideals, assisting Germany and German intellectuals in finding their placein the western orbit after years of isolation. Der Monat's orientation was unmistakably American,but its founders intended the review to be international in range and impact, avoiding narrow,doctrinaire positions. Its contents reflected a concern for covering a broad range of politicaland cultural issues, and included articles, book excerpts, short stories, book reviews, and theaterand film articles and reviews. Internationally acclaimed figures such as Bertrand Russell, ArnoldToynbee, Jean-Paul Sartre, James Agee and Rebecca West contributed to early issues.

Initial response in the West to the publication of Der Monat was enthusiastic. Critics hailed it asan intellectual journal of the first rank. In addition, Der Monat also played an important role asa weapon in the cold war. Large numbers of the journal were smuggled into East Germany andother Soviet bloc countries, despite Soviet efforts to keep it out.

By 1954, after six years of U. S. government sponsorship, Der Monat became a private journal,independently published by the Gesellschaft für Internationale Publizistik. The end of the alliedoccupation of Germany and a growing concern for Germanization called into question thepropriety of the U. S. government's ongoing sponsorship of Der Monat. A grant from the FordFoundation made possible Der Monat's transition to private status. During its remaining yearsof publication, Der Monat enjoyed a close association with the International Association forCultural Freedom.

As more and more publications similar in scope and interest to Der Monat appeared inGermany, its readership began to decline. The magazine suffered financial setbacks, whicheventually made continued publication impossible. The last issue appeared in March 1971.
