Some reflections on the practice of commemoration

Ernst Kossmann

European Review, 1998, vol. 6, issue 3, 269-275

Abstract: Half a century after its end, the Second World War is still an object of enormous public interest. This essay tries to indicate in which respects the present style of commemorating it differs from the ways that former generations shaped the memories they wished to preserve of the historical events that were then thought relevant.
