Abstract

The authors of this interdisciplinary anthology discuss the innovative question about the connection between shame, guilt, and gender in the German culture of remembrance, particularly about the transgenerational gendered passing on of shame and guilt. However, the conceptualization of these terms is left rather vague both in the introduction and in some articles. Nevertheless, this anthology makes an important contribution to the history of representation of National Socialism and offers an insightful discussion of the meaning of the category gender for the reprocessing of National Socialism in Germany.
