The commentator of the panel was one of the leading US experts for the former Habsburg Central European region Nancy M. Wingfield from the University of Northern Illinois.

COBISS.SI-ID: 1537527748The essays assess the uses and misuses of history 25 years after the collapse of Soviet hegemony in Eastern Europe. As opposed to the revival of national histories that seemed to be the prevailing historiographical approach of the 1990s, the last decade has seen a particular set of narratives equating Nazism and Communism. This provides opportunities to exonerate wartime collaboration, casting the nation as victim even when its government was allied with Germany. While the Jewish Holocaust is acknowledged, its meaning and significance are obfuscated.
