"Aftermath: Life in the Fallout of the Third Reich, 1945–1955" by Harald Jähner explores German society in the aftermath of World War II. The book challenges the idea that the atomic bomb would have had the same impact on Germany as it did on Japan, as Germany was already devastated and defeated. Jähner examines the physical and psychological conditions of the period, including the displacement of millions of Germans and the challenges of survival. The book also delves into the role of women, the suppression of the memory of the Holocaust, and the persistence of antisemitism. Overall, "Aftermath" provides a nuanced and insightful exploration of Germany's defeat and the complex issues faced by its people in the postwar period. [Extracted from the article] |
