A single word-"Auschwitz"-is often used to encapsulate the totality
of persecution and suffering involved in what we call the
Holocaust. Yet a focus on a single concentration camp - however
horrific, however massively catastrophic its scale - leaves an
incomplete story, a truncated history. It cannot fully communicate
the myriad ways in which individuals became tangled up on the side
of the perpetrators, and obscures the diversity of experiences
among a wide range of victims as they struggled and died, or
managed, against all odds, to survive. In the process, we also miss
the continuing legacy of Nazi persecution across generations, and
across continents. Mary Fulbrook's encompassing book expands our
understanding, exploring the lives of individuals across a full
spectrum of suffering and guilt, each one capturing one small part
of the greater story. Reckonings seeks to explore the disjuncture
between official myths about dealing with the past, on the one
hand, and the extent to which the vast majority of Nazi
perpetrators evaded justice, on the other. The Holocaust is not
mere history, and the memorial landscape barely hints at the
maelstrom of reverberations of the Nazi era at a personal level.
Reckonings illuminates the stories of those who remained outside
the media spotlight, situating their experiences in changing wider
contexts, as both persecutors and persecuted sought to account for
the past, forge new lives, and make sense of unprecedented
suffering.
