Memory Activism in Germany
Manage episode 366571093 series 3334895
German memory culture underwent a dramatic transformation in decades after World War II. In the immediate aftermath of the war the memories of veterans, Germans expelled from their ancestral homes in Central and Eastern Europe, and the victims of allied bombings dominated the remembrance of the Nazi era. By the 1980s the focus had almost completely shifted to the perpetrators of the Holocaust and the diverse groups victimized by the Nazi regime. To understand this change tune in to the July 4th episode of Realms of Memory. Listen to a conversation with Nottingham Trent University Professor Jenny Wüstenberg and a discussion of her book, Civil Society and Memory in Postwar Germany.
