Remembering the Second World War -

. .

Résumé :
This book explores the remembrance of this conflict on a global scale. The first part explores the enduring utility and the limitations of the national frame in France, Germany and China. The second explores transnational transactions in remembrance, looking at memories of the British Empire at war, and the transnational campaign on behalf of Japan's former ?comfort women'. A third section considers local and sectional memories of the war and the final section analyses innovative practices of memory, including chapters on video gaming and Holocaust tourism. This volume will be essential reading for all students and scholars of the history and memory of the Second World War.
