Poser la question de la place du monument aux morts, de sa pertinence dans le paysage des contemporains et du sens qu’il renferme. Il est là depuis des lustres, scellé dans le présent avec l’assurance de l’éternité. Pourtant quels regards se posent sur lui ? Les gestes du quotidien le contournent. Muet, invisible, hors d’atteinte, il est né du souvenir pour finir monument de l’oubli. Lieu sacralisé par la mémoire, il cherche sa dimension historique. Le monument aux morts serait-il devenu un « non-lieu », un de ces endroits de l’évitement et du passage fugitif ? Le moment est venu de lui accorder le statut de monument historique, de le faire entrer dans le patrimoine commun. L’objet de ce livre est de le considérer sans emphase ni tabou, comme trace d’un passé et d’une histoire collective faite de destins individuels. Avec quelques clés il devient possible désormais de rendre audible à nouveau sa dimension symbolique, de redonner vie aux noms qui l’habitent. A un siècle de distance le monument aux morts peut simplement se raconter à quiconque viendra à sa rencontre.

"This innovative study of remembrance in Weimar Germany analyses how experiences and memories of the Great War were transformed along political lines after 1918. Examining the symbolism, language and performative power of public commemoration, Benjamin Ziemann reveals how individual recollections fed into the public narrative of the experience of war. Challenging conventional wisdom that nationalist narratives dominated commemoration, this book demonstrates that Social Democrat war veterans participated in the commemoration of the war at all levels: supporting the 'no more war' movement, mourning the fallen at war memorials and demanding a politics of international solidarity. It describes how the moderate Socialist Left related the legitimacy of the Republic to their experiences in the Imperial army and acknowledged the military defeat of 1918 as a moment of liberation. This is the first comprehensive analysis of war remembrances in post-war Germany and a radical reassessment of the democratic potential of the Weimar Republic"--
