In various European countries the two world wars are remembered in
very different ways, although everywhere one can find monuments
which serve as material objectification of the memory of war.
However, such objectifications not only determine certain patterns
of remembrance and a specific perception of the past: they also
contribute to local and/or national identity and create the basis
for attitudes toward the other participants of war. As it happens,
instruments of memory live their own life and the meanings they
attach to particular events may be changed by historical and
political processes. The question remaining in the background of
this publication is whether we can "make Europeans" without
European collective memory transgressing national perspectives. The
memory of war, which inevitably shows the overall absurdity and
tragedy of war no matter where and against whom fought, may be the
primary candidate for such Europeanization.
