More about the book
The essay explores the evolving narrative of German history regarding World War II, focusing on the dual themes of collective guilt and victimhood. Since the late 1960s, discussions around German culpability have intensified, particularly following significant trials. Recently, there's been a shift in perspective, with German intellectuals and media highlighting the suffering endured by Germans during the war. This reflects a complex self-image that oscillates between viewing Germans as perpetrators and as victims of wartime atrocities, including bombings and displacement.
