| Résumé: | Few Holocaust topics have been researched more than German memory of the crime. Unlike other academic literatures that evolve only slowly, the study of working through the legacy of the Holocaust in Germany has experienced continued change, now well into its “third generation.” Wulf Kansteiner's new study provides an outstanding contribution to the literature., Kansteiner identifies two lingering problems in memory scholarship: “an unselfconscious return to the central role of human agency in history (now as the maker of representations)”; and “a troubling disregard for proof (who actually shares or identifies with these representations)” (p. 22). |
