| Summary: | Holocaust Angst offers an original and important interpretation of the changes in and controversies surrounding Holocaust memory from the 1970s through the 1990s. Rather than focusing exclusively on the Americanization of Holocaust memory or on the multiple West German efforts at “coming to terms with the past,” as many other scholars have done, Jacob Eder places West German-American relations and transnational memory management at the center of his meticulously researched and lucidly written study. From the late 1970s on, Eder argues, conservative West German elites were increasingly concerned about U.S. Holocaust memory culture and the negative image of Germany that they feared it fostered. |
