Fifteen year later, the landscape looks starkly different. Shedding fresh light on these developments, The perversion of Holocaust memory explores the politicization and distortion of Holocaust remembrance since 1989. This innovative book opens with an analysis of events across Europe which buttressed confidence in the stability of Holocaust memory and brought home the full extent of nations' participation in the Final Solution. And yet, as Judith M. Hughes reveals in later chapters, mainstream accountability began to crumble as the 21st century progressed: German and Jewish suffering was equated; anti-Semitic rhetoric re-entered contemporary discourse; populist leaders side-stepped inconvenient facts; and, more recently with the revival of ethno-nationalism, Holocaust remembrance has been caught in the backlash of the European refugee crisis. The four countries analyzed here -- France, Germany, Hungary, and Poland -- could all claim to be victims of Nazi Germany, the Allies or the Communist Soviet Union but they were also all perpetrators. Ultimately, it is this complex legacy which Hughes adroitly untangles in her sophisticated study of Holocaust memory in modern Europe."-- |cProvided by publisher. 505 00 |g1. |tPapon affair -- |gI. |tFrom Barbie and Touvier to Papon -- |gII. |tExcavating France's colonial past -- |gIII. |tUn crime de bureau -- |gIV. |tCoda -- |g2. |tGermans in the dock -- |gI. |tWilling executioners -- |gII. |tCrimes of the Wehrmacht -- |gIII. |tCoda -- |g3. |tVictims, Jewish and German -- |gI. |tCreating a memorial -- |gII. |tGerman suffering revisited -- |gIII. |tCoda -- |g4. |tFrom Holodomor to Holocaust -- |gI. |tHistorikerstreit -- |gII. |tVariations on a theme -- |gIII. |tCoda -- |g5. |tRevising history, reviving nationalism -- |gI. |tDenying Hungary's past -- |gII. |tDefending Poland's honor -- |gIII. |tCoda. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 650 0 Holocaust denial |zEurope |xHistory |y21st century. 650 0 Collective memory |zEurope |xHistory |y21st century. 776 08 |iebook version : |z9781350281899 852 0 |bstacks |hD804.3 |i.H84 2022
