Six decades after the defeat of National Socialism, commemoration
and mourning are ongoing, open-ended projects in Germany and
Austria, and continue to generate a steady stream of literature and
film about the Nazi past that, while comparatively modest in
volume, is often disproportionately influential in public debates.
At the same time, new museums and memorials are being established
all the time in what Andreas Huyssen has called a 'memory boom',
while what is remembered and how it is remembered is subject to
continuous change. Scholars have to keep pace with each new
development in this culture of commemoration. Rather than add to
the growing body of surveys of literature and film about the Third
Reich, this study instead puts scholars' critical approaches under
the microscope. Chloe Paver considers how far the object of the
study is not just analysed but also constructed by the scholar's
approach and identifies the criteria by which academics judge the
values of works that deal with the Third Reich. This book brings
aspects of film, fiction, and memorial culture together in a single
study that pays as much attention to images (and in the case of
film to sound) as it does to text. The study of film, historical
exhibitions, and sites of memory also demands consideration of
social contexts and practices. A case study of memory at two of
Austria's sites of terror demonstrates the methods used in the
study of memorials and museums and considers the ways in which
memory attaches itself to place.
