Foreword by Michael LambekThe death and destruction of war leave
behind scars and fears that can last for generations. This book
considers the connections between memory and violence in the wake
of World War II.Covering the range of European experiences from
East to West, Memory and World War II takes a long-term approach to
the study of trauma at the local level. It challenges the notion of
collective memory and calls for an understanding of memory as a
fine line between the individual and society, the private and the
public. International contributors from a range of disciplines seek
new ways to incorporate local memory within national history and
consider whether memories of extreme violence can be socially
transformed. Personal testimony reveals the myriad ways in which
communities react to and reconstruct the horrors of war. What we
learn is that terrifying experiences reside not only in memories of
the past but remain embedded in present-day lives.
