Overview

The Berlin Wall crumbled amid fears that a united Germany might seek too quickly to put its Nazi past behind it, inaugurating a new era of triumphant nationalism. What happened instead was surprising: behind the flag-waving arose a more public, thoughtful, and realistic scrutiny of the country's horrific legacy than ever before seen in postwar Germany. Facing the Nazi Past shows how the readiness of a newly united people, combined with an explosion of media events, gave birth to a collaborative, determined effort to reexamine and accept the past.

Editorials

Richard J. Evans

An excellent book, authoritative...well researched, nuanced and perceptive...remarkably and probably correctly upbeat about the effects of reunification on German public memory.
