| Summary: | In her meticulously researched monograph Jews, Germans, and Allies, Atina Grossmann tells the story of the title groups' “close encounters” with each other in occupied Germany during the years immediately following the Second World War. She focuses on occupied Berlin and on the large Displaced Persons (DP) camps in Bavaria, in the heart of the American zone, paying close attention to the tense interactions between the Soviets and the Americans. She explores the ways in which the various actors here contested definitions of German identity, nation, and citizenship, as well as how they assessed notions of guilt, victimization, retribution, and survival. |
