Germans as Victims

More about the book

The book explores a significant cultural shift in Germany's collective memory, moving from a focus on Nazi perpetration to an emphasis on German victimhood. It critically examines how this change reflects broader societal attitudes nearly sixty years after World War II, highlighting the implications of this narrative for understanding contemporary German identity. Students of history, politics, and culture will find the contextual analysis of current victim discourse within a historical framework particularly insightful.
