Summary: This book argues that Germans and Austrians have dealt with the Nazi past very differently--with important consequences for political culture and partisan politics. David Art analyzes how public debates about the lessons of history created a culture of contrition in Germany thatprevented a resurgent far right from consolidating itself in German politics after unification. By contrast. public debates in Austria nourished a culture of victimization that provided a hospitable environment for the rise of right-wing populism. The volume is for those interested in the memory of Nazism and the Holocaust. the rise of European far right parties and contemporary German and Austrian politics.Weight in Kg appr.:
