The Trauma of the Past. Remembering and working through

»Die sich des Vergangenen nicht erinnern, sind verurteilt, es noch einmal zu erleben.«

Zu diesem Buch

»In 1992 when the Goethe-Institut London planned the lecture series "The Trauma of the Past - Remembering and Working-Through" it seemed as if some Germans had forgotten the past and at the same time were unconsciously reviving it: hostels of asylum seekers were set on fire, foreigners and immigrant workers were attacked. At the same time light from the candles held up by mile-long chains of Germans shone out in protest against the return of brute force and terror against the weak and against people of a different cultural and racial background.

Today in 1994 the reasons for organising a lecture series of this kind are no less cogent than two years ago. The weight of the past is too enormous and in two years too little has really changed. One has even the impression that the virus of intolerance and racism has been spreading over Europe. Much is yet to be done, and this is a further reason why it is still essential to publish this lecture series in 1994.« (aus dem Vorwort)
