Blending history and social science, this book tracks the role of
social movements in shaping German public memory and values since
1945. Drawn from extensive original research, it offers a fresh
perspective on the evolution of German democracy through civic
confrontation with the violence of its past. Told through the
stories of memory activists, the study upends some of the
conventional wisdom about modern German political history. An
analysis of the decades-long struggle over memory and democracy
shows how grassroots actors challenged and then took over public
institutions of memorialization. In the process, confrontation of
the Holocaust has been pushed to the centre of political culture.
In unified Germany, memory politics have shifted again, as
activists from East Germany have brought attention to the crimes of
the East German state. This book delivers a novel and important
contribution to scholarship about postwar Germany and the wider
study of memory politics.
