Abstract

During Hitler's reign, Nazis deliberately developed and exploited a youthful image and used youth to define their political and social hierarchies. This title analyzes a variety of media, including literature, news media, and films, in order to argue that youth and education played a central role in Germany's coming to terms with the Nazi past.

Abstract

"Despite the growing interest in general European history, the European dimension is surprisingly absent from the writing of contemporary history. In most countries, the historiography on the 20th century continues to be dominated by national perspectives. Although there is cross-national work on specific topics such as occupation or resistance, transnational conceptions and narratives of contemporary European history have yet to be worked out. This volume focuses on the development of a shared conception of recent European history that will be required as an underpinning for further economic and political integration so as to make lasting cooperation on the old continent possible. It tries to overcome the traditional national framing that ironically persists just at a time when organized efforts to transform Europe from an object of debate to an actual subject have some chance of succeeding in making it into a polity in its own right."

Abstract

Hat die Vertreibung von Millionen Deutschen aus Ostmitteleuropa nach 1945 in der Erinnerungskultur der Bundesrepublik einen angemessenen Platz gefunden? Manfred Kittel zeigt, dass Differenzierungen notwendig sind: In den 1960er Jahren zeichnete sich mit wachsender Kritik an der ostpolitischen Haltung der Landsmannschaften in Medien und intellektuellen Milieus eine zunehmende Entfremdung vom historischen deutschen Osten ab. Da aber noch alle Parteien um die Wählerstimmen der Vertriebenen rangen, blieb der erinnerungskulturelle Wandel begrenzt. Erst nach dem "Machtwechsel" in Bonn 1969 mehrten sich in Bund, Ländern und Kommunen die Symptome der Verdrängung.

Abstract

This 2007 book analyzes how West German intellectuals debated the Nazi past and democratic future of their country. Rather than proceeding event by event, it highlights the underlying issues at stake: the question of a stigmatized nation and the polarized reactions to it that structured German discussion and memory of the Nazi past. Paying close attention to the generation of German intellectuals born during the Weimar Republic - the forty-fivers - this book traces the drama of sixty years of bitter public struggle about the meaning of the past: did the Holocaust forever stain German identity so that Germans could never again enjoy their national emotions like other nationalities? Or were Germans unfairly singled out for the crimes of their ancestors? By explaining how the perceived pollution of family and national life affected German intellectuals, the book shows that public debates cannot be isolated from the political emotions of the intelligentsia.

Abstract

This work deals with the crime of genocide and with the social and collective memory of this crime. The volume shows that genocide fails to be adequately remembered due to the inherent defects of the law of genocide itself. The book thus links the social phenomenon to the legal theory (the legal norms) as well as to the legal practice (the trials).
