Summary:	"Develops the biblical idea of "turning" (tshuvah) into a conceptual framework to analyze a particular area of contemporary German history, commonly referred to as Vergangenheitsbewältigung or "coming to terms with the past." Chung examines a selection of German responses to the Nazi past, their interaction with the victims' responses, such as those from Jewish individuals, and their correspondence with biblical repentance. In demonstrating the victims' influence on German responses, Chung asserts that the phenomenon of Vergangenheitsbewältigung can best be understood in a relational, rather than a national, paradigm"--

Table of Contents:

Turning in the God-human relationship
Interhuman and collective repentance
People, not devils
Fascism was the great apostasy
The French must love the German spirit now entrusted to them
One cannot speak of injustice without raising the question of guilt
You won't believe how thankful I am for what you have said
Courage to say no and still more courage to say yes
Raise our voice, both Jews and Germans
The appropriateness of each proposition depends upon who utters it
Hitler is in ourselves, too
I am Germany
Know before whom you will have to give an account
We take over the guilt of the fathers
Remember the evil, but do not forget the good
We are not authorized to forgive.
