Synopsis:

Difficult Pasts provides a lively, wide-ranging discussion of contemporary Germany's rich and complex memorial landscape. It contains chapters on the many memorials constructed both to German losses during the Second World War, to the victims of National Socialism and to those of GDR socialism. The volume provides up-to-date coverage of the most publicised memorials, while at the same time discussing many of those less well-known; it provides discussion of key memorial debates in Germany, and challenges established ways of thinking about memorials and memorial sites. Bringing together international scholars from across a range of disciplines, ensuring a breadth of perspective and approach, each analytical essay is written in an accessible style which will appeal to academics, students, and general public alike.
