About this book

This book examines a range of public debates on the Nazi legacy in Germany since Schröder's SDP-Green coalition came to power in 1998. A central theme is the 'dialectic of normality' whereby references to Nazi past impact upon present normality. The book is a valuable resource for students of contemporary German politics, history and culture.

'...this is a book that is well worth the effort for anyone interested in contemporary Germany, Europe in the twenty-first century, the ongoing impact of the Holocaust, and the complex intersections between memory and politics.' Richard Menkis, Journal of Genocide Research
