Reckonings : legacies of Nazi persecution and the quest for justice

Seeks to explore the disjuncture between official myths about dealing with the past, on the one hand, and the extent to which the vast majority of Nazi perpetrators evaded justice, on the other. Weaves together the history of mass murder with the story of selective post-war justice, higlighting the disjunctures between different dimensions of 'reckoning' in the decades since 1945, offering powerfully argued critique of current commemorative practices and posing challenging questions.
