| Sumario: | This book explores the generational transmission of memories related to Nazism within German families. It delves into how narratives are reshaped as they pass from one generation to the next, examining the construction of family memory and the role of media in shaping collective remembrance. The work highlights the discrepancies between official historical discourses and personal family stories, revealing how descendants often perceive their ancestors as opposed to or victims of Nazism, despite historical evidence suggesting involvement. The book also compares these memory processes with those in families from East and West Germany, as well as with experiences of dictatorial regimes in Latin America. The author aims to challenge politically correct narratives and provoke discussion on how societies process traumatic pasts. Intended for readers interested in history, memory studies, and social psychology.
