ISBN: 9781501762734.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do states and societies confront the legacies of war and occupation, and what do truth, guilt, and justice mean in that process? In Ghosts of War, Franziska Exeler examines peoples wartime choices and their aftermath in Belarus, a war-ravaged Soviet republic that was under Nazi occupation during the Second World War.\nAfter the Red Army reestablished control over Belarus, one question shaped encounters between the returning Soviet authorities and those who had lived under Nazi rule, between soldiers and family members, reevacuees and colleagues, Holocaust survivors and their neighbors: What did you do during the war?\nGhosts of War analyzes the prosecution and punishment of Soviet citizens accused of wartime collaboration with the Nazis and shows how individuals sought justice, revenge, or assistance from neighbors and courts. The book uncovers the many absences, silences, and conflicts that were never resolved, as well as the truths that could only be spoken in private, yet it also investigates the extent to which individuals accommodated, contested, and reshaped official Soviet war memory. The result is a gripping examination of how efforts at coming to terms with the past played out within, and at times through, a dictatorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45119244369973,"sku":"ByrdShop_1501762737","price":38.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781501762734_28f4e4f4-b2b4-4355-a796-18c7b813a40d.jpg?v=1778778628","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ghosts-of-war-nazi-occupation-and-its-aftermath-in-soviet-belarus-9781501762734","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
