Abstract

The recording, explanation and the inescapable task of judging great wrongs in the past presents historians with their most difficult assignment. For those who have either lived through such injustice or have been in some way responsible for it the impositions of memory are both painful and unavoidable. Memory shapes the future, and the recollections of past suffering haunt and may overwhelm generations long after. In 1938 the National Socialist Party in Germany began the final preparations for the systematic genocide of the Jews throughout Europe. For the Jews, whose national loyalties had long exceeded any ties of ethnicity, the programme of extermination was an act not merely of monstrous cruelty but of humiliation and treachery. In Holocaust Remembrance scholars, artists and writers consider the ways in which the events of 1938-1945 have been, might be, and will be remembered. The records of the Holocaust are vast and various, ranging from the museum at Auschwitz to the cartoons of Art Spiegelman, from the dark paintings of R.B. Kitaj to the elegaic stories of Primo Levi, from the filmed testimonies of the death camp survivors to revisionist historians who usurp the name of scholar in the pursuit of denial and evasion. The perspectives brought to bear here are rich and various - impassioned, objective, personal, poetical, historical and philosophical. They are united by an awareness of the dangers both of respectful silence and overwhelming information, and that only in remembering can an understanding of the past be sought and human kind redeemed from the forces of humiliation and guilt.

Abstract

La France, comme d'autres pays d'Europe, porte encore dans son paysage et sa mémoire les blessures des nombreux conflits armés du xxe siècle. La Seconde Guerre mondiale, en particulier, y a engendré de nombreux « lieux de mémoire » : villages-martyrs, lieux de massacre par les nazis, camps d'internement vichystes, lieux de combats de la Résistance... Ces traces ont suscité la création de musées et de mémoriaux dont l'existence, en tant qu'institutions, ne laisse pas d'être problématique quant aux choix des thèmes et aux modes d'exposition des événements concernés. Dans ses thèses relatives à la muséologie, Georges-Henri Rivière parle ainsi d'une « ponctuation de l'espace adéquate à l'organisation idéologique du message à transmettre ». Que transmettre ? La guerre et la politique peuvent-elles devenir un patrimoine ? Telle sont les questions centrales posées par ces musées qui participent de stratégies mémorielles de groupes, de collectivités territoriales ou d'État, questions que reprennent à leur compte les auteurs du présent ouvrage pour engager une réflexion critique et stimulante sur les politiques de transmission de la mémoire.

Abstract

"Focussing on German responses to the Holocaust since 1945, Postwar Germany and the Holocaust traces the process of Vergangenheitsbewältigung ('overcoming the past'), the persistence of silences, evasions and popular mythologies with regards to the Nazi era, and cultural representations of the Holocaust up to the present day. It explores the complexities of German memory cultures, the construction of war and Holocaust memorials and the various political debates and scandals surrounding the darkest chapter in German history. The book comparatively maps out the legacy of the Holocaust in both East and West Germany, as well as the unified Germany that followed, to engender a consideration of the effects of division, Cold War politics and reunification on German understanding of the Holocaust. Synthesizing key historiographical debates and drawing upon a variety of primary source material, this volume is an important exploration of Germany's postwar relationship with the Holocaust. Complete with chapters on education, war crime trials, memorialization and Germany and the Holocaust today, as well as a number of illustrations, maps and a detailed bibliography, Postwar Germany and the Holocaust is a pivotal text for anyone interested in understanding the full impact of the Holocaust in Germany."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
