Recenzii
A courageous, self-reflexive and conscientious book. It is an intimate account of her personal life story but at the same time it is a story of a generation of Germans born into the shattered and perplexed reality of 'aftermath' Germany who were forced to struggle with the haunting shadows of the past . Bammer is a gifted narrator and her personal story is both intimately touching and intellectually evoking . Bammer compels us to rethink the very foundations of identity: memory, personal history, attachment to place, culture and, above all - language. It brings together historical research (letters, family documents, interviews, etc.) with contemplative and reflective observations, reminding us of the blurred distinction between facts and representation, historiography and literature, memory and imagination . Its embedded psychological and historical insights which are marked by a rare clarity and sensitivity . stem from a genuine understanding of the human psyche that goes beyond the somewhat schematic and abstractive nature of theories . Nonetheless, the most significant contribution of the book lies in its ability to raise questions without aspiring to answer them, and in its achievement in sharpening the paradoxes and dilemmas embedded not only in relation to the history of Nazi and post-war Germany but in relation to history and memory as such.
Important and in many ways original contribution to this vast body of work concerned with Holocaust memory from the perspective of a perpetrator culture.What makes Bammer's accounting remarkable among other things is the huge time span of her engagement with her family history. Her personal narrative begins well before she was born in 1945 and stretches beyond the death of her father in 2009. Instead of narrating one single revelation concerning her family's implication with Nazi violence, as has been done in so many popular novels and films, Bammer tells about her recurrent, labored, and often frustrating efforts of trying to understand not only the actions of her parents and grandparents but maybe even more important their changing emotions and silences vis-à-vis their country's horrific past.
Engaged in what was clearly a difficult - sometimes agonising - task, Bammer has produced a beautiful and important book ... 5 stars.
[Born After] is a powerful meditation on love and death, guilt and atonement, and memory and imagination, as well as a recognition of reason and its limitations when confronting history's brutal realities. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers through faculty.
Born After is a painfully honest and mesmerizing reflection on what it means to have been born a German in the wake of the Holocaust. An elegant writer, Angelika Bammer is unafraid to probe deeply into areas where others--including many Germans--have refused to go. She weaves together history and family, the past and the present, and literature and psychoanalytic analysis in a seamless and eminently readable fashion. I have waited for this book for a long time and when I received it I read it in one sitting because I could not put it down. And I shall return to it often.
In this brave and acutely perceptive book, Angelika Bammer confronts the legacy of a dark past without shirking the difficult ambiguities of denial, guilt, anger, or attachment carried by its inheritors. Moving between personal story and larger history, Born After gives us felt insight into the paradoxes of transmitted memory and the dilemmas faced by the second generation on both sides of atrocity.
Readers of Born After will be grateful to Angelika Bammer for the invitation to join in the intimacy of her life-long memory work. This is a courageous, wise, and quietly devastating book in which the past can shift at a moment's notice, while the future remains open to surprises large and small.
