Based on ethnographic research, this is a fundamental contribution that rewrites our understanding of the development of Holocaust memory in Germany\"—Alon Confino, author of \u003ci\u003eA World Without Jews\u003c\/i\u003e \"German Holocaust memory culture is often held up as a model for other nations to imitate. But, as Esra Özyürek shows in this provocative and ethnographically rich book, the story is much more complicated. \u003ci\u003eSubcontractors of Guilt\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating study of belonging and exclusion in post-Holocaust Germany and a must-read for all who are interested in contemporary Europe.\"—Michael Rothberg, author of \u003ci\u003eMultidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization\u003c\/i\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eSubcontractors of Guilt\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential intervention into contemporary German debates around migration, Muslim minorities, anti-Semitism, and Holocaust memory. By centering the perspectives of young German Muslims, Özyürek's insightful study offers an important corrective to narratives that too often fail to do so.\"—Fatima El-Tayeb, Yale University \"This powerful, well-informed book would make a fine addition to any academic library. Recommended.\"—S. Anderson, \u003ci\u003eCHOICE\u003c\/i\u003e \"Rooted both in subtle and sophisticated anthropological fieldwork and in sharp historical and theoretical analysis, Özyürek's study offers a deeply illuminating window into the worldview and lived experience of the young male Turkish and Arab Germans who are drawn into this memory work. It also provides an incisive dissection of the elisions, confusions and evasions of these culturally targeted programmes. \u003ci\u003eSubcontractors of Guilt\u003c\/i\u003e should be required reading for anybody seeking to understand the fundamental role of historical memory in the deep-seated problematics of ethnic and religious inclusion in contemporary Germany.\"—Adam Sutcliffe, \u003ci\u003eReOrient\u003c\/i\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eSubcontractors of Guilt\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for students, researchers, teachers, as well as the general public interested in the entangled questions of Holocaust memory culture, national belonging, migration, Muslims, and the making of the postwar German social contract.\"—Didem Udal, \u003ci\u003eInternational Journal of Middle Eastern Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the turn of the millennium, Middle Eastern and Muslim Germans had rather unexpectedly become central to the country's Holocaust memory culture—not as welcome participants, but as targets for re-education and reform. Since then, Turkish- and Arab-Germans have been considered as the prime obstacles to German national reconciliation with its Nazi past, a status shared to a lesser degree by Germans from the formerly socialist East Germany. It is for this reason that the German government, German NGOs, and Muslim minority groups have begun to design Holocaust education and anti-Semitism prevention programs specifically tailored for Muslim immigrants and refugees, so that they, too, can learn the lessons of the Holocaust and embrace Germany's most important postwar democratic political values.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on ethnographic research conducted over a decade, \u003ci\u003eSubcontractors of Guilt\u003c\/i\u003e explores when, how, and why Muslim Germans have moved to the center of Holocaust memory discussions. Esra Özyürek argues that German society \"subcontracts\" guilt of the Holocaust to new minority immigrant arrivals, with the false promise of this process leading to inclusion into the German social contract and equality with other members of postwar German society. By focusing on the recently formed but already sizable sector of Muslim-only anti-Semitism and Holocaust education programs, this book explores the paradoxes of postwar German national identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: German Holocaust Memory and the Redemptive Path toward Democracy\u003cbr\u003e  1.
