Erinnerungsverwaltung, Vergangenheitspolitik und Erinnerungskultur nach 1989 - Institute für nationales Gedenken im östlichen Europa im Vergleich

What happens when social remembering becomes institutionalised? Carola Lau compares Eastern European institutions which, after 1989, essentially took it upon themselves to apportion blame, commemorate victims, provide historical education and research whilst opening their archives. This study gives a revealing institutional history of remembering for Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine and the Czech Republic which has hitherto been lacking. With her eye on past-reconstruction policies, memory management and memory culture, she describes the multi-dimensional supporting structures and often conflict-ridden negotiation processes interwoven with social remembering.
