Abstract:
This volume examines the politics of history and memory in Germany today. From different perspectives, the collected essays analyze the topic of German suffering, from expulsion, bombings, and rape during World War II – as well as the Holocaust. Themes include the generational shift in memory; German, Jewish, and Austrian identity; and Czech-German and Polish-German reconciliation processes.
