      abstract = {This book promotes a historically and culturally sensitive  understanding of trauma during and after World War II.  Focusing especially on Eastern and Central Europe, its  contributors take a fresh look at the experiences of  violence and loss in 1939-45 and their long-term effects in  different cultures and societies. The chapters analyze  traumatic experiences among soldiers and civilians alike  and expand the study of traumatic violence beyond  psychiatric discourses and treatments. While acknowledging  the problems of applying a present-day medical concept to  the past, this book makes a case for a cultural, social and  historical study of trauma. Moving the focus of historical  trauma studies from World War I to World War II and from  Western Europe to the east, it breaks new ground and helps  to explain the troublesome politics of memory and trauma in  post-1945 Europe all the way to the present day. This book  is an outcome of a workshop project 'Historical Trauma  Studies,' funded by the Joint Committee for the Nordic  Research Councils in the Humanities and Social Sciences  (NOS-HS) in 2018-20. Chapters 4, 5 and 6 are available open  access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0  International License via link.springer.com.},
