Amending the past: Europe's Holocaust commissions and the right to history.

Analyzes more than a dozen Holocaust commissions—in Germany, Switzerland, France, Poland, Austria, Latvia, Lithuania, and elsewhere— in a comparative framework, situating each in the context of past and present politics, to evaluate their potential for promoting justice and their capacity for bringing the perspectives of rival groups more closely together. Also evaluates the media coverage these commissions received and probes their public reception from multiple angles.
