Drawing on the work of Hannah Arendt and Theodor W. Adorno, this
book illustrates the relevance and applicability of a political
discussion of guilt and democracy. It appropriates psychoanalytic
theory to analyse court documents of Austrian Nazi perpetrators as
well as recent public controversies surrounding Austria's
involvement in the Nazi atrocities and ponders how the former
agents of Hitlerite crimes and contemporary Austrians have dealt
with their guilt. Exposing the defensive mechanisms that have been
used to evade facing involvement in Nazi atrocities, Leeb considers
the possibilities of breaking the cycle of negative consequences
that result from the inability to deal with guilt. Leeb shows us
that only by guilt can individuals and nations take responsibility
for their past crimes, show solidarity with the victims of crimes,
and prevent the emergence of new crimes.
