Abstract:
During the 1980s, dissidents in Germany organized independent commemorations of the "Kristallnacht" pogrom, while those in Poland organized such events for the Warsaw ghetto uprising. While these opposition groups used the events to further their own political agendas, insisting that communist governments had no right to commemorate Holocaust victims while oppressing their own people, they also stimulated debates in the two countries about memorialization of the Holocaust. Notes that the Polish communist government generally downplayed the ghetto uprising, while the Solidarity movement considered it a major part of the Polish rebellion, forcing the government to eventually take more note of it as well. In East Germany, the dissident movement was not as powerful; however, after German unification, East German members of the new parliament were the first to apologize for the crimes of Nazi Germany.
