Zitelmann also wrote on the subject of "Umgang mit der NS-Vergangenheit" (dealing with the National Socialist past) in his contribution for the book "Bewusstseinsnotstand. Thesen von 60 Zeitzeugen" ("The Perceptual State of Emergency: Hypotheses by 60 Historic Witnesses"), edited by Rolf Italiaander (Droste-Verlag, 1990). In 1990, "Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft" published another anthology, edited by Zitelmann with the American historian Ronald Smelser. It offered 22 portraits of the Third Reich's leading figures. Like Zitelmann's doctoral dissertation, the anthology, which combined authors from several countries, was also translated to English, under "The Nazi Elite" (New York: NYUP, 1993). Reviews were found, for instance, in the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" of September 4, 1990.
