Beschreibung
This book compares the influence of the Nazi past in contemporary German and Austrian politics. In Germany, the process of dealing with the past has created a culture of contrition that keeps the far right marginalized politically. By contrast, many Austrians have presented themselves as victims of Nazism and deny that Austrians share much complicity in Nazi crimes. The far right Freedom party of Jorg Haider was able to become a political force in this environment.
