Beschreibung: From the literature of Günter Grass to the Happenings of Joseph Beuys, from Karlheinz Stockhausen's innovations in electronic music to the films Rainer Werner Fassbinder made with Hanna Schygulla, West Germany's culture was a distinctive as it was celebrated. But these achievements were far from inevitable.

After World War II a mood of despair and impotence pervaded the arts in West Germany. The culture and institutions of the Third Reich were abruptly dismissed, yet there was no immediate return to the Weimar period's progressive ideals. In this moment of stasis, artists struggled to process their experiences of Nazism.

Moving from 1945 to reunification, Michael H. Kater explores West German culture as it emerged from the darkness of the Third Reich. Examining periods of denial and complacency as well as attempts to reckon with the past, he shows how all post-war art was touched by the vestiges of National Socialism. Indeed, it was only through the reinvigoration of culture that West Gerany could conted with its recent history –and so allow democracy to e-emerge.
