An Arduous Affair
The Germans' awareness of the murder of the European Jews began with the liberation of the concentration camps by the Allies. From there, a complicated history leads, via the judicial confrontation with the crime and the establishment of the new discipline of Zeitgeschichte (contemporary history), to the TV event ‘Holocaust’ (1979), which marked a caesura not only for the German public, but also for historical scholarship. Of great importance was…

N oah B enezra S trote . Lions and Lambs
Noah Benezra Strote’s Lions and Lambs: Conflict in Weimar and the Creation of Post-Nazi Germany is a highly original and powerful first book. It challenges long and widely shared views about the German post-1945 “success story,” and particularly about the American impact on it. Strote offers a new explanation about the conditions under which (West) Germans—different from their countrymen in the Weimar Republic, but also, of course, in the German …
Sensibler Skeptiker und streitbarer Geist Hans Mommsen 1930–2015
German Zeitgeschichte and Generation, or How to Explain the Belated Career of the Nazi Volksgemeinschaft
The concept of Zeitgeschichte (contemporary history) was introduced in postwar Germany as a critical inquiry into the history of the Nazi period. Yet the historians themselves had been contemporaries of the "Third Reich.” During the first decades of scholarly research, the question "How could that happen?" almost exclusively related to the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, and only much later on was redirected to the Second World War and the Holocau…
Der Führerstaat
Vergangenheitspolitik
Wie sind die Westdeutschen in den fünfziger Jahren mit dem Problem der NS-Vergangenheit politisch umgegangen? Nicht nur die von Adenauer geführte Bundesregierung, sondern auch die sozialdemokratische Opposition zeigte sich bereit, dem massiven gesellschaftlichen Verlangen nach einem "Schlußstrich" unter die seit 1945 praktizierte Entnazifizierung und die Ahndung von NS-Straftaten zu entsprechen. Das Ergebnis war eine "Vergangenheitspolitik", die …
Die Geburt des Zeitzeugen nach 1945
Kommentar: Anhaltende Mythenschwäche
Dealing with Two German Pasts
Apart from denazification, the Americans in particular promoted in western Germany after 1945 the “invention” of contemporary history as an academic discipline and as a political and moral task. In this way important foundations were laid for a self‐critical engagement with the past. This engagement — which for decades was associated with the generation of the Flakhelfer — was ultimately able to overcome the counter‐movement in the politics of th…
