hardcover. Shows that between 1800 and 1945, the fundamentalist desire for a single communal faith played a crucial role in the radicalization of Germany's political Right. This book says that a nationalist faith gained a wider appeal, because people were searching for a sense of identity and belonging, a mental map for the world and metaphysical security.

Hardback. The myriad debates on restitution and memory, which have been going on in Europe for decades, indicate that World War II never ended, paradoxically re-invoked by the events of 1989/90 and the expansion of Europe to the east in the aftermath of the collapse of communism and economic globalization. This book offers an assessment of this problem. Editor(s): Diner, Dan; Wunberg, Gotthart. Num Pages: 424 pages. BIC Classification: 1D; 3JJP; HBJD; HBLW3.
