In many regions outside Germany, a small number of known Holocaust rescuers are often held up as exemplars of broad pro-Jewish sentiment among that country’s population during World War II, thereby projecting an image of national moral virtue. Within Germany, by contrast, rescuers are often presented in both scholarship and public commemoration as a small minority; their examples condemn the majority by showing what Germans \u003ci\u003ecould \u003c\/i\u003ehave done but did not do.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kabalek argues that such simplistic depictions of the majority versus minority obscure the complex motivations and situations that led people in Nazi Germany to help persecuted Jews. Against the view that the rescuers were “forgotten” after the war, he shows that portrayals and interpretations of helping Jews appeared in various media and social discourses in East, West, and unified Germany and were used to actively debate questions of collective morality. \u003ci\u003eRescue and Remembrance\u003c\/i\u003e analyzes the varied and changing depictions of rescue in the distinct German polities from the Nazi period, examining how the very notions of “majority” and “collective” were articulated and reformulated.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Condemned: The Rescue of Jews and Nazi Concepts of Morality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Scattered: Individual and Group References to Rescue from 1945 to 1960\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Collected: Framing and Institutionalizing Rescue from the 1950s to the 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Expected: “\u003cbr\u003eOther Germans”\u003cbr\u003e from 1978 to 1988\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 “\u003cbr\u003eSilenced”\u003cbr\u003e: Debates over the Memory of Rescue from \u003ci\u003eSchindler’\u003cbr\u003es List\u003c\/i\u003e to the Present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52716779929880,"sku":"9780299350505","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/rescue-and-remembrance-imagining-the-german-collective-after-nazism-hardback-9780299350505","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
