The merit of this book is to show in detail just how administratively complex it was to actually carry out the compensation program [ of The Foundation 'Remembrance, Responsibility and Future']. German Politics and Society
This highly informative collection is very well executed, and it will be especially valuable for English readers. Its contributors have been careful to keep their analytical distance from the sponsoring organization, offering accounts of its work and results that are balanced and candid. Peter Hayes, Northwestern University
One of the strengths of this volume is that it offers a wide range of information, analysis and insights with far-reaching implications not only for historical research, but also for future policy initiatives, thanks to the rare view it gives into the inner workings of the Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility, and Future. Ultimately, the book makes a compelling case for the role professional historians can play beyond the academy. Elizabeth Vlossak, Brock University
