For sixty years, different groups in Europe have put forth interpretations of World War II and their respective countries' roles in it consistent with their own political and psychological needs. It has had profound implications for democratization and relations between neighboring countries. The conflict over the past has played out in diverse arenas, including film, memoirs, court cases, and textbooks.
The contributors include scholars of history, literature, political science, psychology, and sociology. This collection provides a comparative case study of how memories of World War II have been constructed and revised in seven European nations: France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Italy, and the USSR (Russia). Country by country, they bring to the fore the specifics of each nation's postwar memories in essays commissioned especially for this volume.
