"A brilliant analysis of the manner in which postwar Germany forged
for itself a new identity on the basis of vivid yet selective
memories of the past. Robert Moeller convincingly demonstrates that
public preoccupation with the expulsion of Germans from the east
and the fate of prisoners of war in the Soviet Union created a
sense of German victimhood that facilitated overcoming past crimes
by asserting an equivalence of suffering. This is the best analysis
by far of the 'negative' elements in the reconstruction of German
national identity. The book is an indispensable contribution to our
understanding of German politics and culture from the fall of
Nazism to the present day."--Omer Bartov, author of "Mirrors of
Destruction"
"Required reading for anyone interested in how selective memory
shapes national identity, Robert Moeller's "War Stories "provides a
whole new reading of Germany's confrontation with its Nazi past
from the fifties through the nineties. . . . This is history as it
should be written in the twenty-first century."--Temma Kaplan,
author of "Taking Back the Streets"
