Is There a Chance for a Common European Culture of Remembrance?

Summary/Abstract: Over the past several years, there has been an intensification of the debate in Europe over its tragic past, in particular regarding the period of World War II (WWII), its aftermath, and the relation of contemporary Europe to the totalitarian regimes in power during that period. This debate was set in motion by politicians and historians of Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, who feel that so far the perception of Europe’s tragic past varies greatly depending on whether it is viewed upon from the “Eastern” or “Western” perspective.
