Shows that a distinctive form of memory of the Holocaust arose in Germany following World War II as a by product of total military defeat, Allied occupation and the restoration of previously suppressed German political traditions. The limits of justice and memory in the two Germanys after 1945 are striking in view of the enormity of the crime
