Port looks instead at the very concrete ways in which postwar Germans embraced the lessons of the Third Reich and the Holocaust—above all in response to other genocides that took place elsewhere after 1945. This innovative approach makes the lessons, limits, and liabilities of politics driven by memories of a troubled history harrowingly clear.
