Life After Death: Approaches to a Cultural and Social History of Europe During the 1940s and 1950s Paperback - 2003

by Richard Bessel (Editor); Dirk Schumann (Editor)


From the publisher

This collection of essays does not perceive the impressive economic and political stability of the postwar era as a quasi-natural return to previous patterns of societal development. It approaches this stability as an attempt to establish "normality" upon the lingering memories of experiencing violence on an unprecedented scale. While the history of post-war Germany looms large in this collection, the essays cover countries across Western and Central Europe. They offer comparative perspectives and draw upon a wide range of primary and secondary source material.

First line

led to systematic research on the psychological reaction to combat. German psychiatric research following World War II focused mainly on the victims of the concentration camps, who were interviewed for compensation claims.
