Jarausch presents a sustained academic reflection on the post-war German effort to cope with the guilt of the Holocaust amongst a generation of scholars too young to have been perpetrators. Ranging from his war-time childhood to Americanization as a foreign student, from his development as a professional historian to his directorship of the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung and concluding with his mentorship of dozens of PhDs, \u003cem\u003eThe Burden of Germany History\u003c\/em\u003e reflects on the emergence of a self-critical historiography of a twentieth-century Germany that was wrestling with the responsibility for war and genocide. This partly professional and partly personal autobiography explores a wide range of topics including the development of German historiography and its methodological debates, the interdisciplinary teaching efforts in German studies, and the role of scholarly organizations and institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“Konrad Jarausch’s academic memoir reveals a “hybrid identity” of many dimensions: an historian of Germany and Europe’s periods of both “catastrophe” and “recovery”; an historian of both of Germany’s post-war regimes—the “re-civilized” democracy in the west and the “welfare dictatorship” in the east; an historian of multiple methodologies; and finally a “transatlantic mediator” and “double insider” with a distinguished career on each side of the ocean.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Christopher R.
