About The Book

German memories of the Second World War are controversial and they are used to justify different positions on the use of military force. In this book Maja Zehfuss studies the articulation of memories in novels in order to discuss and challenge arguments deployed in political and public debate. She explores memories that have generated considerable controversy such as the flight and expulsion of Germans from the East the bombing of German cities and the ''liberation'' of Germany in 1945. She shows how memory retrospectively produces a past while claiming merely to invoke it drawing attention to the complexities and contradictions within how truth ethics emotion subjectivity and time are conceptualised. Zehfuss argues that the tensions and uncertainties revealed raise political questions that must be confronted beyond the safety net of knowledge. This is a compelling book which pursues an original approach in exploring the politics of invocations of memory.
