Between Mass Death and Individual Loss : The Place of the Dead in Twentieth-Century Germany, Paperback / softback Book

Between Mass Death and Individual Loss : The Place of the Dead in Twentieth-Century Germany Paperback / softback

Edited by Alon Confino, Paul Betts, Dirk Schumann

Part of the Studies in German History series

Paperback / softback

Description

Recent years have witnessed growing scholarly interest in the history of death.

Increasing academic attention toward death as a historical subject in its own right is very much linked to its pre-eminent place in 20th-century history, and Germany, predictably, occupies a special place in these inquiries.

This collection of essays explores how German mourning changed over the 20th century in different contexts, with a particular view to how death was linked to larger issues of social order and cultural self-understanding.

It contributes to a history of death in 20th-century Germany that does not begin and end with the Third Reich.
