The Families Of Victims And Perpetrators Of The Nazi Regime

For families of those who were persecuted by Germany's Nazi regime as well as for those families of Nazi perpetrators/bystanders what form of dialogue is taken with regard to 'family past' from this tragic period of history? How do the Holocaust generation's experiences impact their children and grandchildren? How is the dialogue about family past different in the families of Nazi perpetrators? Is it similar to the dialogue of the families of Holocaust survivors? This second revised edition first published by Cassell (1998) examines these questions on the basis of selected case studies. Contents include: dialogue about the Holocaust in families of survivors and perpetrators families of survivors in Israel, West and East Germany Israeli families of forced emigrants from Germany East German families of forced emigrants families of Nazi perpetrators and accomplices in West and East Germany and two family dialogs compared.
