What expressions did the birth of modernity take in Sweden? What does the connection between genocide and culture look like? And how does the historian recreate lost historical experiences? Twenty-six researchers investigate a contradictory and dynamic 20th century. From different perspectives, the authors of the anthology treat subjects such as cultural history, Judaism, memory research and history writing as an art and method. With the apparent idyll of the Swedish "folk home" and the complex reality of a stormy Europe in focus, this anthology answers questions about what modernity has meant for man as an individual and a social being. And what it means to be modern.
