New Book: Kinder des Zweiten Weltkriegs...
Stigmatisierung, Ausgrenzung, Bewältigungsstrategien. By Elke Kleinau, Ingvill C. Mochmann (Hg.).
"Am 8. Mai 2015 jährte sich zum 70. Mal das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Doch noch immer gibt es Bevölkerungsgruppen, die als »Kollateralschäden« des Krieges aus dem kollektiven Gedächtnis der Nationen schlichtweg herausfallen. Dieser Band thematisiert die Bedingungen und Folgen des Auf- wachsens von Kindern des Krieges, insbesondere von Wehrmachts- und Besatzungskindern im Europa der Nachkriegszeit. Er kann aufzeigen, dass bis heute Spuren des Krieges in den Gesellschaften präsent sind, und lenkt den Blick auf die Erforschung von Bewältigungsstrategien."
