Publisher's Synopsis
This special double issue of History & Memory reconsiders the central themes that surfaced as a result of the debate: the problematics of historical representation of the Third Reich and the Shoah as they pass from living memory; the place of personal and collective memories in historical narratives; and the uneasy questions of who should/can/may write whose history/ies. Several of the articles in this volume, which is dedicated to Saul Friedlander on his 65th birthday, will relate to Friedlander's rich oeuvre, which has probed many facets of this highly charged past.
