Description
The legacy of the Holocaust continues to shape German national identity. Mary Fulbrook explores how this traumatic event has influenced public debates and collective memories in both East and West Germany, particularly during the period of division. Fulbrook examines a range of sources, including landscapes of memory, private diaries, oral history interviews, and public opinion poll surveys, to provide a clear analysis of key controversies, events, and patterns of historical and national consciousness. By drawing on these diverse materials, she sheds light on the complexities of German identity and how it has been constructed and contested over time. This book offers a nuanced understanding of the ongoing impact of the Holocaust on German society, and how this legacy continues to inform discussions about national identity and unity.
