Stimmen zu »Remembering as Reparation«
“A vital contribution to understanding German memory and memorialization of the Holocaust. By bridging psychoanalysis and history, Karl Figlio sheds new light on the psychological dynamics that have shaped Germany’s attempts at reparation. This book is full of important insights about the ongoing struggle with memory, responsibility and historical trauma.” (Roger Frie, author of Not in My Family: German Memory and Responsibility After the Holocaust)
“Facing up to painfully complicated and actively troublesome histories and working them through -- the arduous process of really effective remembering -- requires collaborating across different kinds of knowledge and different traditions of thought. Nazism and the Holocaust present this dilemma at its most extreme. With carefully reasoned patience yet patent political urgency, Karl Figlio asks the practitioners of psychoanalysis and history to sit down together.” (Geoff Eley, Karl Pohrt Distinguished University Professor of ContemporaryHistory, University of Michigan)
