At the turn of the millennium, Middle Eastern and Muslim Germans
had rather unexpectedly become central to the country's Holocaust
memory culture—not as welcome participants, but as targets for
re-education and reform. Since then, Turkish- and Arab-Germans have
been considered as the prime obstacles to German national
reconciliation with its Nazi past, a status shared to a lesser
degree by Germans from the formerly socialist East Germany. It is
for this reason that the German government, German NGOs, and Muslim
minority groups have begun to design Holocaust education and
anti-Semitism prevention programs specifically tailored for Muslim
immigrants and refugees, so that they, too, can learn the lessons
of the Holocaust and embrace Germany's most important postwar
democratic political values. Based on ethnographic research
conducted over a decade, Subcontractors of Guilt explores when,
how, and why Muslim Germans have moved to the center of Holocaust
memory discussions. Esra Özyürek argues that German society
"subcontracts" guilt of the Holocaust to new minority immigrant
arrivals, with the false promise of this process leading to
inclusion into the German social contract and equality with other
members of postwar German society. By focusing on the recently
formed but already sizable sector of Muslim-only anti-Semitism and
Holocaust education programs, this book explores the paradoxes of
postwar German national identity.
