During World War II, GEraldine Schwarz's German grandparents were neither heroes nor villains; they were merely MitlaUfer'those who followed the current. Once the war ended, they wanted to bury the past under the wreckage of the Third Reich. Decades later, while delving through filing cabinets in the basement of their apartment building in Mannheim, Schwarz discovers that in 1938, her paternal grandfather Karl took advantage of Nazi policies to buy a business from a Jewish family for a low price. She finds letters from the only survivor of this family (all the others perished in Auschwitz), demanding reparations. But Karl Schwarz refused to acknowledge his responsibility. GEraldine starts to question the past: How guilty were her grandparents' What makes us complicit' On her mother's side, she investigates the role of her French grandfather, a policeman in Vichy. Weaving together the threads of three generations of her family story with Europe's process of post-war reckoning, Schwarz explores how millions were seduced by ideology, overcome by a fog of denial after the war, and, in Germany at least, eventually managed to transform collective guilt into democratic responsibility. She asks: How can nations learn from history' And she observes that countries that avoid confronting the past are especially vulnerable to extremism. Searing and unforgettable, Those Who Forget is a riveting memoir, an illuminating history, and an urgent call for remembering. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Schwarz, Géraldine, |d1974- |xFamily. 650 0 Journalists |zFrance |vBiography. 650 0 Memory |xSocial aspects |zFrance. 650 0 Memory |xSocial aspects |zGermany. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 651 0 Germany |xHistory |y1933-1945. 651 0 Germany |xHistory |y1945- 651 0 France |xHistory |yGerman occupation, 1940-1945. 651 0 France |xHistory |y1945- 600 30 Schwartz family. 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 650 7 HISTORY / Europe / Germany. |2bisacsh 600 37 Schwartz family. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00216442 650 7 Families. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 Journalists. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00984188 650 7 Memory |xSocial aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01015940 651 7 France. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204289 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 647 7 German Occupation of France |c(France : |d1940-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353176 647 7 Jewish Holocaust |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 648 7 Since 1933 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 700 1 Marris, Laura, |d1987- |etranslator. 797 2 ProQuest (Firm) 856 40 |3Electronic version(s) available |zHosted by ProQuest |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ushmm/detail.action?docID=6354233 852 |bebook
