Summary After a period of intense work on national memory cultures, we are observing a growing interest in memory both as a social and an individual practice. Memory studies tend to focus on a particular field of memory processes, namely those connected with war, persecution and expulsion. In this sense, the memory - or rather the trauma - of the Holocaust is paradigmatic for the entire research field. The Holocaust is furthermore increasingly understood as constitutive of a global memory community which transcends national memories and mediates universal values. The present volume diverges from this perspective by dealing also with everyday subjects of memory. This allows for a more complete view of the interdependencies between public and private memory and, more specifically, public and family memory
»Einer konstruktiven wissenschaftlichen Diskussionskultur ist [...] allein schon die Tatsache förderlich, dass hier eine Debatte angestoßen wurde. Dies ist, neben den spannenden Ansätzen, Ergebnissen und Perspektiven, die er aufzeigt, eine besondere Stärke dieses insgesamt vorbildlich gestalteten Bandes.«Norbert Franz, Zeitschrift für Luxemburger Geschichte, 67/1 (2015)Reviewed in:Mitteilungsblatt, 74 (2013)
