Description
Germans remember the Nazi past so that it may never happen again. But how has this vow to remember translated into concrete action to prevent new genocides abroad? Andrew I. Port examines the complex responses of Germany to atrocities in Cambodia, Bosnia, and Rwanda. In the late 1970s, the genocide of the Khmer Rouge received relatively little attention from a firmly antiwar public. However, by the 1990s, the Holocaust had become central to German identity, inspiring greater involvement in Bosnia and Rwanda. This shift reflects both an enthusiastic embrace of human rights and a more active international role involving military might. Port's study sheds light on the lessons, limits, and liabilities of politics driven by memories of a troubled history, offering a harrowing insight into how countries confront their dark pasts.
