The war in the empty air : victims, perpetrators, and postwar Germans /
Barnouw, Dagmar.
The war in the empty air : victims, perpetrators, and postwar Germans / Dagmar Barnouw. - Bloomington : Indiana University Press, ©2005. - 1 online resource (xiv, 303 pages)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The loss of history in postwar German memory -- Historical memory and the uses of remorse -- "Their monstrous past": German wartime fictions -- Censored memories: "Are the Germans victims or perpetrators?" -- The war in the empty air: a moral history of destruction -- No end to "Auschwitz": historical or redemptive memory -- This side of good and evil: a German story.
"This book will provoke intellectually, ideologically, and emotionally loaded responses in the U.S., Germany, and Israel. Barnouw's critique of the 'enduringly narrow post-Holocaust perspective on German guilt and the ensuing fixation on German remorse' questions taboos that the political and cultural elites in those three countries would rather leave alone ... [Barnouw] makes us understand why the maintenance of a privileged memory of the Nazi period and World War II may not survive much longer."--Manf
