Drawn from extensive original research, it offers a fresh perspective on the evolution of German democracy through civic confrontation with the violence of its past. Told through the stories of memory activists, the study upends some of the conventional wisdom about modern German political history. An analysis of the decades-long struggle over memory and democracy shows how grassroots actors challenged and then took over public institutions of memorialization. In the process, confrontation of the Holocaust has been pushed to the centre of political culture. In unified Germany, memory politics have shifted again, as activists from East Germany have brought attention to the crimes of the East German state. This book delivers a novel and important contribution to scholarship about postwar Germany and the wider study of memory politics. 650 0 $a Memory $x Political aspects $z Germany. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $x Influence. 651 0 $a Germany $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 611 07 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958866 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Memory $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01015930 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710032718.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B22789AEC6A11E7AF65C16E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
