Views of Violence by Joerg Echternkamp

Views of Violence by Joerg Echternkamp

The twenty-first-century vision of historical violence has been immeasurably influenced by cultural representations of the Second World War. Within Europe, one of the key sites for such representation has been the vast array of museums and memorials that reflect contemporary ideas of war, the roles of soldiers and civilians, and the self-perception of those who remember. This volume takes a historical perspective on World War II museums and explores how these institutions came to define political contexts and cultures of public memory in Germany, across Europe, and throughout the world.

"This is a very impressive collection that brings together a series of strong, substantial case studies arranged into two thematic sections that - in their strength and consistent quality - constitute a significant contribution to the field" Gabriel Moshenska, University College London
