Das Anliegen dieses Buches ist ein doppeltes. Zum einen spürt es dem politischen Möglichkeitenhorizont nach, wie ihn die Ästhetik der Klassischen Moderne in sich birgt. Zum anderen wird gezeigt, dass dieser Horizont die Möglichkeit des politischen Totalitarismus – des Nationalsozialismus zumal – nicht aus-, sondern einschließt. Wichtige, ja kanonische Texte der deutschsprachigen Literatur der Klassischen Moderne weisen einen Richtungssinn genuin moderner ästhetischer Autonomie auf, der sich gerade auch in der Dimension des Politischen zur Wirkung bringen soll: Aufgrund ihrer ästhetischen Struktur – und eben nicht wegen ihrer manifesten Aussagegehalte – haben diese Texte jenen Denkraum (mit-) eröffnet, innerhalb dessen sich auch der Nationalsozialismus als politisches Projekt situiert hat, und zwar seinerseits als ein solches, das sich nirgendwo anders als in der Dimension des Ästhetischen fundiert sehen wollte. Das politische Imaginäre dieses nationalsozialistischen Projekts – unter Einschluss seiner verhängnisvollen rassistischen Auswirkungen – gehört so einer bestimmten, bis heute jedoch nur zu gern marginalisierten Richtung der Moderne irreduzibel zu.

Memory Matters juxtaposes in tripartite structure texts by a child of German bystanders (Wolf), an Austrian-Jewish child-survivor (Klüger), a daughter of Jewish émigrés (Honigmann), a daughter of an officer involved in the German resistance (Bruhns), a granddaughter of a baptized Polish Jew (Maron), and a granddaughter of German refuges from East Prussia (Dückers). Placed outside of the distorting victim-perpetrator, Jewish-German, man-woman, and war-postwar binary, it becomes visible that the texts neither complete nor contradict each other, but respond to one another by means of inspiration, reverberation, refraction, incongruity, and ambiguity. Focusing on genealogies of women, the book delineates a different cultural memory than the counting of (male-inflected) generations and a male-dominated Holocaust and postwar literature canon. It examines intergenerational conflicts and the negotiation of memories against the backdrop of a complicated mother-daughter relationship that follows unpredictable patterns and provokes both discord and empathy. Schaumann's approach questions the assumption that German-gentile and German-Jewish postwar experiences are necessarily diametrically opposed (i.e. respond to a "negative symbiosis") and uncovers intersections and continuities in addition to conflicts.
