Shadows of Trauma, lucidly translated by Sarah Clift, offers both an important introduction to Assmann's influential thinking about how individuals and societies recall traumatic pasts and a sustained exploration of the memory of the Holocaust and World War II in the German context.\" -- -Michael Rothberg author of Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization \"For readers of German, Shadows of Trauma is a classic in the field of memory studies. We are fortunate now to benefit from Aleida Assmann's elegant elucidation of key theoretical concepts and analysis of important debates animating the memory of the Second World War and the Holocaust in contemporary Germany. At the same time, Assmann's own original and often surprising conceptualizations of the workings of individual, social, political, and collective memory are as definitive as they are provocative and productive.\" -- -Marianne Hirsch Columbia University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the English Language Edition       Introduction        Part I: Theoretical Foundations      1.
