Justice, politics and memory in Europe after the Second World War
This collection of sixteen essays on survivors and survival in post World War II Europe showcases new scholarship on the effects of traumatic experiences on the creation of memory and the reconstruction of a just society. Divided into sections covering post-war justice, national narratives and private memories, and the creation of memorial, both emotional and physical, individual papers discuss such topics as the Russian victims of Nazi human experiments, collective memory and the construction of national identities, and concentration camp memorials and their local neighbors. The volume includes numerous black and white photographs as well as a selection of color plates. Contributors include American and European historians from several universities.
