About “Luftkrieg und Literatur”
W.G. Sebald's On the Natural History of Destruction examines the devastation of German cities by Allied bombardment during World War II and investigates the absence of this trauma from German historical and cultural memory. The book analyzes the reasons for this collective amnesia, including the repression of unbearable suffering and the retrospective justification of actions under the Nazi regime, presenting a critical exploration of forgetting, artistic responsibility, and moral compromise.
