- Abstract
In her book "Europeanization of Remembrance? The First World War in German and British Exhibitions," author Judith Heß examines the culture of remembrance of the First World War in Germany and Great Britain. She analyzes seven museums, including the German Historical Museum in Berlin and the Imperial War Museum in London, to determine the extent to which national narratives influence the commemoration of the war and whether a "Europeanization of remembrance" can already be observed. The author concludes that national interpretations continue to have a strong impact and that the perspective of the war opponents is not taken into account in the exhibitions. However, Heß also presents ways in which a genuine Europeanization of remembrance can be achieved while still allowing national memories to remain valid.
