In Reckonings, Mary Fulbrook, the author of a series of works on modern German history, including several about German and East German history since 1945, turns her attention to the extent to which justice was done to those engaged in Nazi Germany’s policies of persecution and extermination.1 Fulbrook’s central theme is “the significant disjuncture” that is “revealed between official myths about ‘dealing with the past,’ on the one hand, and the extent to which the overwhelming majority of the perpetrators actually evaded justice, on the other” (7). The work is divided into three sections. Part I, “Chasms: Patterns of Persecution,” describes policies of persecution and extermination in Auschwitz, the other major death camps, less well-known ghettos and concentration camps, the euthanasia campaigns, and the Einsatzgruppen murders. In Part II, “Confrontations: Landscapes of the Law,” Fulbrook draws on Germanand English-language scholarship of recent decades to discuss judicial reckoning in the era of Allied occupation, as well as in the successor states of the Federal Republic (West Germany), the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and, briefly, Austria. Part III, “Connections: Memories and Explorations,” rests on anecdotes taken from memoirs by survivors of Nazi persecution and from statements of avoidance by former perpetrators, and it surveys successes and shortcomings of individual efforts, both public and private, to reckon with the crimes of the Nazi era. Fulbrook’s descriptions of the crimes in Part I, while accurate, present events that have been examined many times in previous excellent works on the Holocaust and on other crimes of the Nazi regime. Her examination in Part III of the trauma and suffering—or, as the case may have been, avoidance and deception by individuals—after the war, stirs emotions but does not address significant issues of historical causation regarding the quest for justice. The book would have been better if the editors at Oxford University Press had drastically cut Parts I and III and produced a text of about 200 rather than 539 pages, focusing specifically on the issues of judicial reckoning addressed in Part II. For it is here that Fulbrook states her main case and makes her most valuable contribution to the historical interpretation of reckoning in Germanspeaking Europe. But it is also where she runs into difficulties.

推算:纳粹迫害遗产和寻求正义。玛丽·富布鲁克(Mary Fulbrook)。纽约:牛津大学出版社,2018年。x +657。布$ 34.95 ISBN 978-0190681241。

在Reckonings中,玛丽·富尔布鲁克(Mary Fulbrook)是一系列关于现代德国历史的著作的作者,其中包括自1945年以来的几本关于德国和东德历史的著作。她把注意力转移到了对那些从事纳粹德国的迫害和迫害政策的人们伸张正义的程度。 1 Fulbrook的中心主题是“重大脱节”,“一方面是在关于'与过去交易'的官方神话之间,另一方面是绝大多数肇事者实际上在逃避司法的程度之间相互矛盾”。 ”(7)。这项工作分为三个部分。第一部分,“鸿沟:迫害的模式”,介绍了奥斯威辛集中营,其他主要死亡集中营,鲜为人知的贫民窟和集中营,安乐死运动以及Einsatzgruppen谋杀案中的迫害和灭绝政策。在第二部分中 “对抗:法律的风景”,富尔布鲁克利用近几十年来的德语和英语奖学金来讨论同盟占领时期以及联邦共和国(西德),德国民主共和国的继承国中的司法计算。共和国(东德),以及奥地利。第三部分“联系:回忆和探索”,是根据纳粹迫害幸存者的回忆录和前行者的回避陈述所摘录的轶事,它概述了公共和私人努力的成败与不足,以期对付纳粹迫害。纳粹时代的罪行。富布鲁克(Fulbrook)在第一部分中对犯罪的描述虽然准确无误,但在以往关于大屠杀和纳粹政权其他犯罪的出色著作中已经多次审查了这些事件。战争结束后,她在第三部分中对创伤和痛苦(或视情况而定,是个人的回避和欺骗)进行了检查,这激起了人们的情绪,但并没有解决有关寻求正义的历史因果关系的重大问题。如果牛津大学出版社的编辑们将第一部分和第三部分进行大刀阔斧的砍伐,并制作出约200页而不是539页的文字,则该书本来会更好,该文本专门针对第二部分中涉及的司法计算问题。富布鲁克(Fulbrook)正是在这里陈述自己的主要案例,并为讲德语的欧洲对算盘的历史解释做出了最宝贵的贡献。但这也是她遇到困难的地方。激起人们的情绪,但没有解决有关寻求正义的历史因果关系的重大问题。如果牛津大学出版社的编辑们将第一部分和第三部分进行大刀阔斧的砍伐,并制作出约200页而不是539页的文字,则该书本来会更好,该文本专门针对第二部分中涉及的司法计算问题。富布鲁克(Fulbrook)正是在这里陈述自己的主要案例,并为讲德语的欧洲对算盘的历史解释做出了最宝贵的贡献。但这也是她遇到困难的地方。激起人们的情绪,但没有解决有关寻求正义的历史因果关系的重大问题。如果牛津大学出版社的编辑们将第一部分和第三部分进行大刀阔斧的砍伐,并制作出约200页而不是539页的文字,则该书本来会更好,该文本专门针对第二部分中涉及的司法计算问题。富布鲁克(Fulbrook)正是在这里陈述自己的主要案例,并为讲德语的欧洲对算盘的历史解释做出了最宝贵的贡献。但这也是她遇到困难的地方。在第二部分中专门针对司法计算问题。富布鲁克(Fulbrook)正是在这里陈述自己的主要案例,并为讲德语的欧洲对算盘的历史解释做出了最宝贵的贡献。但这也是她遇到困难的地方。在第二部分中专门针对司法计算问题。富布鲁克(Fulbrook)正是在这里陈述自己的主要案例,并为讲德语的欧洲对算盘的历史解释做出了最宝贵的贡献。但这也是她遇到困难的地方。
