The presentation of Europe's immediate historical past has quite dramatically changed. Conventional depictions of occupation and collaboration in World War II, of wartime resistance and post-war renewal, provided the familiar backdrop against which the chronicle of post-war Europe has mostly been told. Within these often ritualistic presentations, it was possible to conceal the fact that not only were the majority of people in Hitler's Europe not resistance fighters but millions actively co-operated with and many millions more rather easily accommodated to Nazi rule. Moreover, after the war, those who judged former collaborators were sometimes themselves former collaborators. Many people became innocent victims of retribution, while others--among them notorious war criminals--escaped punishment. Nonetheless, the process of retribution was not useless but rather a historically unique effort to purify the continent of the many sins Europeans had committed. This book sheds light on the collective amnesia that overtook European governments and peoples regarding their own responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity--an amnesia that has only recently begun to dissipate as a result of often painful searching across the continent. In inspiring essays, a group of internationally renowned scholars unravels the moral and political choices facing European governments in the war's aftermath: how to punish the guilty, how to decide who was guilty of what, how to convert often unspeakable and conflicted war experiences and memories into serviceable, even uplifting accounts of national history. In short, these scholars explore how the drama of the immediate past was (and was not) successfully "overcome." Through their comparative and transnational emphasis, they also illuminate the division between eastern and western Europe, locating its origins both in the war and in post-war domestic and international affairs. Here, as in their discussion of collaborators' trials, the authors lay bare the roots of the many unresolved and painful memories clouding present-day Europe. Contributors are Brad Abrams, Martin Conway, Sarah Farmer, Luc Huyse, László Karsai, Mark Mazower, and Peter Romijn, as well as the editors. Taken separately, their essays are significant contributions to the contemporary history of several European countries. Taken together, they represent an original and pathbreaking account of a formative moment in the shaping of Europe at the dawn of a new millennium.

Deportations by train were critical in the Nazis' genocidal vision of the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question." Historians have estimated that between 1941 and 1944 up to three million Jews were transported to their deaths in concentration and extermination camps. In his writings on the "Final Solution," Raul Hilberg pondered the role of trains: "How can railways be regarded as anything more than physical equipment that was used, when the time came, to transport the Jews from various cities to shooting grounds and gas chambers in Eastern Europe?" This book explores this question by analyzin

Hoewel WOII al meer dan 60 jaar achter ons ligt, zijn de herinneringen daaraan nog springlevend. Weliswaar zijn er steeds minder mensen die deze jaren van geweld en onrecht, dwangarbeid en racistische massamoord - maar ook: spanning en heldenmoed - bewust hebben meegemaakt, maar als samenleving zijn we daar in tal van opzichten deelgenoot van geworden. De oorlog is geen afgesloten hoofdstuk, maar levend verleden - een geschiedenis beladen met actuele politieke en morele betekenissen, rond verhalen die ertoe doen en telkens opnieuw worden verteld en verbeeld. In het werk worden verschillende aspecten van de naoorlogse herinneringscultuur in Nederland onder de loep genomen en geplaatst in een internationaal perspectief: herdenkingsrituelen, onderwijs en educatie, getuigenisliteratuur, 'besmette' kunst, de inrichting van de voormalige kampen en andere plaatsen in het landschap van de oorlog - maar ook de herinneringen aan de oorlog in de voormalige koloniën
