The Myth of Austrian victimization at the hands of both Nazi
Germany and the Allies became the unifying theme of Austrian
official memory and a key component of national identity as a new
Austria emerged from the ruins. In the 1980s, Austria's myth of
victimization came under intense scrutiny in the wake of the
Waldheim scandal that marked the beginning of its erosion. The
fiftieth anniversary of the Anschluss in 1988 accelerated this
process and resulted in a collective shift away from the victim
myth. Important themes examined include the rebirth of Austria, the
Anschluss, the war and the Holocaust, the Austrian resistance, and
the Allied occupation. The fragmentation of Austrian official
memory since the late 1980s coincided with the dismantling of the
Conservative and Social Democratic coalition, which had defined
Austrian politics in the postwar period. Through the eyes of the
Austrian school system, this book examines how postwar Austria came
to terms with the Second World War.
