A War Against Memory?
View through CrossRef
Abstract
As Isabel Wollaston suggests, even variations in the terminology we use to signify the National Socialist genocide of the Jews betray different basic assumptions about its nature and its place in history and memory.The 1980s and 1990s have been marked by a series of fiftieth anniversaries relating to Nazism, World War II, and the Holocaust. For example, 1985: the Nuremberg Laws; 1988: the Anschluss, Munich, KristaUnacht; 1989: the outbreak of World War II; 1990: the Battle of Britain; 1991: the invasion of the Soviet Union, Pearl Harbour; 1992: the Wannsee Conference, El Alamein; 1993: the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising; 1994: D-Day, the Warsaw Rising; 1995: the liberation of Auschwitz, Dresden, VE-Day, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the end of World War II. Such anniversaries are observed with varying degrees of solemnity and public interest. Few of them are immune to controversy.

As Isabel Wollaston suggests, even variations in the terminology we use to signify the National Socialist genocide of the Jews betray different basic assumptions about its nature and its place in history and memory.
The 1980s and 1990s have been marked by a series of fiftieth anniversaries relating to Nazism, World War II, and the Holocaust.
For example, 1985: the Nuremberg Laws; 1988: the Anschluss, Munich, KristaUnacht; 1989: the outbreak of World War II; 1990: the Battle of Britain; 1991: the invasion of the Soviet Union, Pearl Harbour; 1992: the Wannsee Conference, El Alamein; 1993: the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising; 1994: D-Day, the Warsaw Rising; 1995: the liberation of Auschwitz, Dresden, VE-Day, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the end of World War II.
Such anniversaries are observed with varying degrees of solemnity and public interest.
Few of them are immune to controversy.
