In essays written jointly by specialists on Soviet and German history, the contributors to this book rethink and rework the nature of Stalinism and Nazism and establish a new methodology for viewing their histories that goes well beyond the now-outdated twentieth-century models of totalitarianism, ideology, and personality. Doing the labor of comparison gives us the means to ascertain the historicity of the two extraordinary regimes and the wreckage they have left. With the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, scholars of Europe are no longer burdened with the political baggage that constricted research and conditioned interpretation and have access to hitherto closed archives. The time is right for a fresh look at the two gigantic dictatorships of the twentieth century and for a return to the original intent of thought on totalitarian regimes - understanding the intertwined trajectories of socialism and nationalism in European and global history.--

“No subject poses a greater challenge to the moral imagination than the Holocaust, nor raises more complicated questions than its memorialization and its pedagogy. To clarify these tricky issues, Jeffrey Demsky brings the resources of an enduring and serious engagement, a tenacious appetite for the detritus of popular culture, and a flair for crisp and lively prose. Demsky’s willingness to stalk the terrain of the most problematic expressions of Holocaust imagery is scrupulous and admirable”. –Stephen J. Whitfield, Professor of American Studies (Emeritus), Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA “Jeffrey Demsky’s Nazi and Holocaust Representations in Anglo-American Popular Culture makes a vital contribution to Holocaust Studies. Beginning with the 1945 Nuremberg Trials and concluding with the emergence of potentially incendiary modes of representation in the opening decades of the 21st century, Demsky makes convincing claims for the complex ways in which even the most problematic pop cultural discourses reframe and extend Holocaust memory”. –Victoria Aarons, O.R. & Eva Mitchell Distinguished Professor of Literature, Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas, USA This book analyzes sensationalized Nazi and Holocaust representations in Anglo-American cultural and political discourses. Recognizing that this history is increasingly removed from contemporary life, it explains how irreverent representations can help rejuvenate the story for successive generations of new learners. Surveying seventy-five-years of transatlantic activities, the work erects counterposing categorizes of “constructive and destructive memorializing,” providing scholars with a new framework for elucidating both this history and its historicization. Jeffrey Demsky is an Associate Professor of Political Science at San Bernardino Valley College (USA). His scholarship exists at the intersection of post-World War II western democratic history and Holocaust memorialization.

En 1947, les magistrats les plus actifs du Troisième Reich ont été condamnés, par le Tribunal de Nuremberg, en qualité de coauteurs des crimes nazis et du chef de crime contre l’humanité. Ce procès a montré à quel point les magistrats peuvent être corrompus au service d’une idéologie génocidaire portée par un pouvoir politique totalitaire. L’enseignement du jugement prononcé est remarquable d’actualité en ce qu’il écarte, en des termes qui se veulent à la fois radicaux et définitifs, l’argument positiviste de l’obéissance à la loi invoqué par la défense des accusés et en ce qu’il souligne la primauté du droit international dont il rappelle le lien qui l’unit au « sens moral de l’humanité ».

The internationally distinguished contributors to this landmark volume represent a variety of approaches to the Nazi and Stalinist regimes. These far-reaching essays provide the raw materials towards a comparative analysis and offer the means to deepen and extend research in the field. The first section highlights similarities and differences in the leadership cults at the heart of the dictatorships. The second section moves to the 'war machines' engaged in the titanic clash of the regimes between 1941 and 1945. A final section surveys the shifting interpretations of successor societies as they have faced up to the legacy of the past. Combined, the essays presented here offer unique perspectives on the most violent and inhumane epoch in modern European history.
