Sommario/riassunto |
|
AntiFascism and Memory in East Germany sheds new light on the legacy of the Spanish Civil War, the way in which societies remember, and the nature of state socialism. It combines cultural, social, and political history to examine the ways in which the legacy of the International Brigades was commemorated in the German Democratic Republic. -AntiFascism and Memory in East Germany is a book about remembering and about forgetting, about war, and about the peace which eventually followed. |
