Cradle and Crucible of ‘Vergangenheitsbewältigung’
[no abstract]
Not Just Death and Ruins
The article looks at ‘Trümmerfilme’ from different zones of occupation and discusses the roles which the young were allocated on German post‐war screens. While in all films under‐age characters are central to negotiating the severe national crisis following the end of World War II and the defeat of the Nazi dictatorship, the analysis highlights emerging differences in the depiction of the young between films from the Soviet Zone and the Western z…
Children of the Revolution
The article looks at three antifascist films from the 1980s by the East German film company DEFA: Jürgen Brauer's Pugowitza (1981), Egon Schlegel's Die Schüsse der Arche Noah (1983), and Helmut Dziuba's Jan auf der Zille (1986), which during this final decade of the East German state re‐examine an ideologically seminal constellation of the GDR's official antifascism – the relationship between antifascist father and son. Linking generational and p…

Inverting the Lives of ‘Others’
The article compares Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's film Das Leben der Anderen (2006) with Kurt Maetzig's early post‐war film Ehe im Schatten (1947). The comparison is based on significant narrative and thematic elements which the films share: They both have a ‘theatre couple’, representatives of the ‘Bildungsbürgertum’, at the centre of the story; in both cases the couple faces a crisis caused by the first and second German dictatorship resp…
