Richard Steigmann-Gall
Richard Steigmann-Gall (born 1965) is Associate Professor of History at Kent State University, and was the Director of the Jewish Studies Program from 2004 to 2010. He received his BA in 1989 and MA in 1992 from the University of Michigan, and his PhD in 1999 from the University of Toronto.[1] In 2003, he published The Holy Reich through Cambridge University Press, which argues that the Nazi Party was not anti-Christian as popularly understood, nor was it in any sense a paganist movement.[2] Exploring the concept of positive Christianity, Steigmann-Gall demonstrates that many in the Nazi Party leadership believed themselves and their movement to be inherently Christian.[3]
The Holy Reich has been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.[4] It has been reviewed widely,[5] culminating in a symposium on the book published by the Journal of Contemporary History in 2007.[4]
On September 30, 2009 Steigmann-Gall was featured on the The History Channel in a documentary discussing Hitler's religious views.[6][7]

"A particularly valuable lesson was learned when he agreed to appear in a History Channel documentary about Hitler. A pleasant March weekend in sunny Burbank, California left him feeling like a star, but left him somewhat puzzled that the production team apparently had yet to come up with a title for the program. Two weeks before its premier last September, he finally got word: "The Nostradamus Effect: Hitler's Blood Oath"! Not anticipating becoming a talking head for one of the more sensationalistic theories about Hitler currently in circulation, he learned a valuable lesson about the limits of controlling your message."
