This book analyzes how West German intellectuals debated the Nazi
past and democratic future of their country. Rather than proceeding
event by event, it highlights the underlying issues at stake: the
question of a stigmatized nation and the polarized reactions to it
that structured German discussion and memory of the Nazi past.
Paying close attention to the generation of German intellectuals
born during the Weimar Republic - the forty-fivers - this book
traces the drama of sixty years of bitter public struggle about the
meaning of the past: did the Holocaust forever stain German
identity so that Germans could never again enjoy their national
emotions like other nationalities? Or were Germans unfairly singled
out for the crimes of their ancestors? By explaining how the
perceived pollution of family and national life affected German
intellectuals, the book shows that public debates cannot be
isolated from the political emotions of the intelligentsia.
