En savoir plus sur le livre
This volume breaks new ground in understanding how memorials, buildings, and spaces have played a role in Germany's struggle with the legacy of Nazism. Contributors challenge prevailing views on "coming to terms with the Nazi Past" (Vergangenheitsbewältigung) at various urban and architectural sites. By examining both western and eastern German cities—ranging from prominent metropolises like Hamburg to regional centers like Dresden and industrial cities like Wolfsburg, as well as rural towns like Quedlinburg—the case studies offer a nuanced perspective on how the confrontation with the Nazi past has shaped the German urban landscape since World War II. Through multidisciplinary discussions that intersect with historical, art historical, anthropological, and geographical themes, this collection enhances our understanding of how the memory of National Socialism has influenced postwar German culture and society. Scholars and students with interests in National Socialism, modern Germany, memory studies, urban studies, geography, industrial design, and art and architectural history will find this volume compelling. It also appeals to general audiences familiar with the Nazi past and those interested in historic preservation, memorials, and the dynamics of commemoration.
