This inner border made Germany a unique place to experience the Cold War, and the “German question” in this post-1945 variant remained inextricably entwined with the vicissitudes of the Cold War until its end. This volume explores how social and cultural practices in both German states between 1949 and 1989 were shaped by the existence of this inner border, putting them on opposing sides of the ideological divide between the Western and Eastern blocs, as well as stabilizing relations between them. This volume’s interdisciplinary approach addresses important intersections between history, politics, and culture, offering an important new appraisal of the German experiences of the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“[A] timely and important contribution to the current scholarship on the Cold War and the critical reassessment of Cold War history within an interdisciplinary, comparative, and transnational framework…The editors are to be commended for promoting a comparative perspective in the individual essays themselves and through the thoughtful selection of topics from East and West German perspectives\u003c\/em\u003e.”\u003cb\u003e  ·  Sabine Hake\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Texas, Austin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Abbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eTobias Hochscherf\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChristoph Laucht\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAndrew Plowman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Divided, but not Disconnected: Germany as a Border Region of the Cold War\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eThomas Lindenberger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Fighting the First World War in the Cold War: East and West German Historiography on the Origins of the First World War, 1949-61\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMatthew Stibbe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Divided Memory of the Holocaust during the Cold War\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eBill Niven\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Commemorating Luther: Contested Memories and the Cold War\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJon Berndt Olsen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e The Third World Origins of the Consensual Turn: West German Labor Internationalism and the Cold War\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eQuinn Slobodian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e The German Question and Polish-East German Relations, 1945-1962\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSheldon Anderson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e From Bulwark of Peace to Cosmopolitan Cocktails: Marketing West Berlin as a Cold War Showcase from the 1960s to the 1970s\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMichelle A.
