This Side of Good and Evil: A German Story; Notes; Index""This book will provoke intellectually, ideologically, and emotionally loaded responses in the U.S., Germany, and Israel. Barnouw's critique of the 'enduringly narrow post-Holocaust perspective on German guilt and the ensuing fixation on German remorse' questions taboos that the political and cultural elites in those three countries would rather leave alone.... [Barnouw] makes us understand why the maintenance of a privileged memory of the Nazi period and World War II may not survive much longer."" --Collective memoryGermanyWorld War, 1939-1945GermanyHistoriographyPhotography in historiographyNational characteristics, GermanHistoryPsychological aspectsGermanyHistory1933-1945HistoriographyElectronic books.Collective memoryWorld War, 1939-1945Historiography.Photography in historiography.National characteristics, German.HistoryPsychological aspects.940.53/072/043Barnouw Dagmar457344MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457588703321The war in the empty air1903430UNINA
