Book presentation with Prof. Dr. Tatjana Tönsmeyer
At the height of Germany's rise to power during the Second World War, 230 million people from Norway to Greece and from France to the Soviet Union lived under German rule. They all had to come to terms with the occupiers and had experiences that still have an impact today. In their everyday lives, at work, in their dealings with the authorities and the military. And any contact with the occupiers could turn into violence. Tatjana Tönsmeyer has written the first history of German-occupied Europe that takes the perspective of the occupied rather than the occupiers - and in doing so exposes a dark legacy that is still subliminally present in the relationship between Europe's neighbors and Germany.
Tatjana Tönsmeyer is Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at the University of Wuppertal and a member of numerous academic advisory boards.
