Beskrivning
Reparations of Nazi Victims in Postwar Europe traces reparations back to their origins in the final years of the Second World War, when victims of Nazi persecution for the first time articulated demands for indemnification en masse. Simultaneous appearance of claims in New York, London, Paris and Tel Aviv exemplified the birth of a new standard in political morality. Across Europe, the demand for compensation to individuals who suffered severe harm gained momentum. Despite vast differences in their experiences of mass victimisation, post-war societies developed similar patterns in addressing victims' claims. Regula Ludi chronicles the history of reparations from a comparative and trans-national perspective. This book explores the significance of reparations as a means to provide victims with a language to express their unspeakable suffering in a politically meaningful way.

Recensioner i media

'Reparations for Nazi Victims in Postwar Europe is an exceptionally thorough analysis of reparation and compensation policies on behalf of victims of Nazism in Western Europe between 1945 and 1960. Based on extraordinary research, the book traces the roots of our contemporary reparation and indemnification regime and unveils the birth of a new paradigm in international morality. Ludi offers a magisterial analysis of crucial policy debates pertaining to collective memory and guilt, visions of justice, and the reaffirmation of state legitimacy through the reintegration (and exclusion) of various categories of victims.' G. Daniel Cohen, Rice University
