Abstract

In Popular Trauma Culture, Anne Rothe argues that American Holocaust discourse has a particular plot structure-characterized by a melodramatic conflict between good and evil and embodied in the core characters of victim/survivor and perpetrator-and that it provides the paradigm for representing personal experiences of pain and suffering in the mass media. The book begins with an analysis of Holocaust clichés, and then explores the embodiment of popular trauma culture in two core mass media genres: daytime TV talk shows and misery memoirs.

Abstract

After the breakdown of civilization during the Holocaust, Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice quickly regained its traditional position at the forefront of the West German theater scene. Despite or indeed due to the fact that the piece exhibits problematic constructions of Jewishness in the figure of the money-lender Shylock, it became an important reference point and medium of difficult debates regarding the problem of German hate and German guilt. This volume discusses important stations of this contradictory reception history from the perspective of English and German studies, theater studies

Abstract

This book presents new developments in Scandinavian memory cultures related to World War II and the Holocaust by combining this focus with the perspective of history didactics. The theoretical framework of historical consciousness offers an approach linking individual and collective uses and re-uses of the past to the question how history can and should be taught. It also offers some examples of good practice in this field. The book promotes a teaching practice which, in taking the social constructivist notions of historical consciousness as a starting point, can contribute to self-reflecting and critical thinking - being fundamental for any democratic political culture. »Wegweisend ist in dem Band [...] das Operieren auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen kollektiver Erinnerungen oder, geschichtsdidaktisch gesprochen, die Multiperspektivität, die er eröffnet. Sie könnte Anstoß geben, zukünftig noch stärker auch unterhalb der nationalen Ebene auf regionale und kommunale Erinnerungsgemeinschaften, auf neue Medien, auf transnationale ebenso wie auf transregionale Netzwerke der Erinnerung zu blicken, in denen sich die Europäer ihre Geschichtsbilder malen.« Malte Thießen, H-Soz-u-Kult, 05.06.2012 Besprochen in: Zeitschrift für Geschlechterdidaktik, (2012), Katja Gorbahn

Abstract

Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs lebten etwa 4.500 Juden spanischer Staatsangehörigkeit im deutschen Machtbereich. Bis 1942 waren sie wie andere ausländische Juden von den Deportationen in die Todeslager ausgenommen. Himmler und Eichmann drängten aber darauf, auch Ausländer zu deportieren. Aus außenpolitischen Rücksichtnahmen setzte das Auswärtige Amt in Berlin durch, daß zehn neutralen und verbündeten Staaten 1942/43 die Möglichkeit zur Repatriierung ihrer Juden gegeben wurde. Die Arbeit, für die erstmals alle relevanten spanischen und deutschen Quellen sowie Archive in Israel, Frankreich, den Niederlanden und den USA ausgewertet wurden, schildert detailliert die zögerliche spanische Reaktion und vergleicht sie mit der anderer neutraler Regierungen. Auf deutscher Seite steht im Mittelpunkt das Auswärtige Amt, das in dieser Frage nicht dem Reichssicherheitshauptamt untergeordnet war. Die Gewährung von Schutzpässen für Juden in Budapest Ende 1944 ist ein weiteres Thema. Schließlich setzt sich das Buch auch mit Madrids Nachkriegspropaganda, das Land habe nicht nur Juden mit spanischen Pässen, sondern allen sephardischen Juden Hilfe gewährt, kritisch auseinander. Die Arbeit zeigt, daß es auch in der Hochphase des Holocaust 1943/44 für die Entscheidungsträger auf beiden Seiten noch Spielräume gab, die zur Rettung von Juden hätten genutzt werden können. Warum dies auch von spanischer Seite nur teilweise geschah, wird kritisch hinterfragt. Damit ist das Buch auch ein Beitrag zur allgemeinen Geschichte des Holocaust.

Abstract

Over the last decade German culture has been engaged in a re-examination of the traumatic events of the Second World War and their post-war legacy in the public and private sphere. This shift in German memory culture from a focus on responsibility for the Holocaust to a focus on wartime suffering has attracted a lot of critical attention over the past decade, in both Cultural and Literary Studies and History. This volume brings together British, German, Dutch and American scholars from the fields of Cultural Studies, History and Sociology to address the national and international significance of discourses of ‘German wartime suffering’ in post-war and contemporary Germany. The focus of this interdisciplinary volume is both on the historical roots of the ‘Germans as victims’ narratives and the forms of their continuing existence in contemporary public memory and culture. The first three sections of this volume explore the conditions of German victim discourses in a variety of media and public arenas from historiography, sociology, literature and film to monuments, civil defence bunkers and local public memory. The final section sets the contemporary re-articulation of German wartime suffering in an international context with respect to its reception and its reflection in both Western and Eastern Europe and Israel.
