A revelatory history of the transformational decade that followed World War II, when Germany raised itself out of the ashes of defeat, turned away from fascism, and reckoned with the corruption of its soul and the horrors of the Holocaust. This book received wide acclaim and spent forty-eight weeks on the best-seller list in Germany when it was published there in 2019.
A revelatory history of the transformational decade that followed World War II, when Germany raised itself out of the ashes of defeat, turned away from fascism, and reckoned with the corruption of its soul and the horrors of the Holocaust. This book received wide acclaim and spent forty-eight weeks on the best-seller list in Germany when it was published there in 2019.
The years 1945 to 1955 were a raw, wild decade that found many Germans politically, economically, and morally bankrupt. Victorious Allied forces occupied the four zones that make up present-day Germany. More than half the population was displaced; 10 million newly released forced laborers and several million prisoners of war returned to an uncertain existence. Cities lay in ruins—no mail, no trains, no traffic—with bodies yet to be found beneath the towering rubble.
Aftermath is the first history of Germany's national mentality in the immediate postwar years. Using major global political developments as a backdrop—and including eye-opening black-and-white photographs and posters—Harald Jähner weaves a series of life stories into a nuanced panorama of a nation undergoing monumental change. Poised between two eras, this decade is portrayed by Jähner as a period that proved decisive for Germany's future—and one starkly different from how most of us imagine it today. Aftermath helps to answer the question: "How does a nation recover from fascism and turn toward a free society once more?"

本书最成功的叙事在于展现出德国人如何在战后十年完成了纳粹十年都未能完成的「团结」：有别于一体化式消灭个人的民族「团结」，战后的「团结」根植于那段共同的艰难岁月，那种真正砸在自己头上而非转嫁给他者的苦难，那些大范围的迁徙，大规模的重建，食不果腹与衣衫褴褛，普遍的两性问题，全民大讨论，关于抛弃与捍卫传统道德，抽象艺术与新式生活；「团结」甚至还建立在对战争与大屠杀罪责的集体沉默，选择遗忘与暂且搁置之上。... 本书最成功的叙事在于展现出德国人如何在战后十年完成了纳粹十年都未能完成的「团结」：有别于一体化式消灭个人的民族「团结」，战后的「团结」根植于那段共同的艰难岁月，那种真正砸在自己头上而非转嫁给他者的苦难，那些大范围的迁徙，大规模的重建，食不果腹与衣衫褴褛，普遍的两性问题，全民大讨论，关于抛弃与捍卫传统道德，抽象艺术与新式生活；「团结」甚至还建立在对战争与大屠杀罪责的集体沉默，选择遗忘与暂且搁置之上。而所谓的经济奇迹，只不过是现实时空与地缘政治赠予的一份幸运。这份幸运绝非当时德国人所应得。因此停在1955这个节点上，不禁让人困惑，那个关于德国深刻反思的神话，是如何在未来三十年间被形塑乃至被记忆的——难道是冷战？ (展开)

写得有一点点dry，但是每一个point都很有意思，从社会的各个层面重现了战后德国的面貌。后面说到政治和宣传我不是太感兴趣，不过也是德国最终成为民主国家的重要因素。有意思的好书。
