Experience and Memory : The Second World War in Europe, Hardback Book

Experience and Memory : The Second World War in Europe Hardback

Edited by Jorg Echternkamp, Stefan Martens

Part of the Studies in Contemporary European History series

Hardback

Description

Modern military history, inspired by social and cultural historical approaches, increasingly puts the national histories of the Second World War to the test.

New questions and methods are focusing on aspects of war and violence that have long been neglected.

What shaped people’s experiences and memories? What differences and what similarities existed in Eastern and Western Europe?

How did the political framework influence the individual and the collective interpretations of the war?

Finally, what are the benefits of Europeanizing the history of the Second World War?

Experts from Belgium, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, and Russia discuss these and other questions in this comprehensive volume.
