Coping with the Nazi past : West German debates on Nazism and generational conflict, 1955-1975

The contributors, drawn from both sides of the Atlantic, offer an in-depth analysis of how the collective memory of Nazism and the Holocaust influenced, and was influenced by, politics and culture in West Germany in the 1960s. The contributions address a wide variety of issues, including prosecution for war crimes, restitution, immigration policy, health policy, reform of the police, German relations with Israel and the United States, nuclear non-proliferation, and student politics and the New Left protest movement. "This volume grew out of a German Historical Institute conference that took place at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in April 2001"--Preface. viii, 339 pages ; 24 cm.
