Reckonings by Mary Fulbrook

Legacies of Nazi Persecution and the Quest for Justice

An examination of how postwar societies confronted the aftermath of Nazi persecution, tracing survivors’ ongoing suffering, the often-limited pursuit of justice, and the reintegration of perpetrators into everyday life. Drawing on individual life stories and legal records, it explores disparities between East and West Germany and beyond, the politics of memory and compensation, and the moral ambiguities and silences that shaped collective reckoning with the past.
