The history and meaning of the Berlin Wall remain controversial,
even three decades after its fall. Drawing on an extensive range of
archival sources and interviews, this book profiles key memory
activists who have fought to commemorate the history of the Berlin
Wall and examines their role in the creation of a new German
national narrative. With victims, perpetrators and heroes, the
Berlin Wall has joined the Holocaust as an essential part of German
collective memory. Key Wall anniversaries have become signposts
marking German views of the past, its relevance to the present, and
the complicated project of defining German national identity.
Considering multiple German approaches to remembering the Wall via
memorials, trials, public ceremonies, films, and music, this
revelatory work also traces how global memory of the Wall has
impacted German memory policy. It depicts the power and fragility
of state-backed memory projects, and the potential of such projects
to reconcile or divide.
