This distinction remained solely an Israeli initiative until the late 1990s, when European governments began developing their own national categories, the most prominent of which was the "Righteous of France," honoring those who protected Jews during the Vichy regime. In National Policy, Global Memory, Sarah Gensburger uses this dramatic episode to lend a new perspective to debates over memory and nationhood. In particular, she works to combine two often divergent disciplines--memory studies and political science--to study "memory politics" as a form of public policy.--Provided by Publisher.Majer, Alex 2019Berghahn monographs in French studies ;Volume 15.Righteous Gentiles in the HolocaustFranceWorld War, 1939-1945JewsRescueFranceCollective memoryPolitical aspectsFranceMemorializationPolitical aspectsFranceMemorialsPolitical aspectsFranceFranceHistoryGerman occupation, 1940-1945Electronic books.Righteous Gentiles in the HolocaustWorld War, 1939-1945JewsRescueCollective memoryPolitical aspectsMemorializationPolitical aspectsMemorialsPolitical aspects940.53/18350944Gensburger Sarah988271Throssell KatharineMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910493706303321National policy, global memory2445902UNINA
