Book Synopsis
Coming to terms with a troubled past is the mark of the modern condition. But how does memory operate? This title includes collection of essays that probes this question by focusing on Germany, where historical trauma and political turbulence over the past century have deeply scarred modern memory and identity.

Trade Review
"This is most certainly not yet another book on memory with the air of deja vu many volumes inevitably have, but an innovative and challenging contribution, with an excellent introduction." -- Pieter Lagrou, author of The Legacy of Nazi Occupation: Patriotic Memory and National Recovery in Western Europe, 1945-1965
