Special Issue Spotlight: Mass Atrocities in Southeast Europe: History and Memory of World War II and its Aftermath

The Journal of Modern European History, edited by historians from different countries, is a response to advancing internationalization, which is taking place in thinking and writing about history as much as anywhere else. The Journal sees itself as a forum for historians all over the world who share a common interest in the history of Europe. The aim of the Journal is to overcome national boundaries thematically.

In their last special issue, ‘Mass Atrocities in Southeast Europe: History and Memory of World War II and its Aftermath’, the journal explored the enduring impact of World War II on national memory and identity in Southeast Europe. Articles delve into themes such as nationalism and collaboration, the prosecution of war crimes, the literary representation of martyrdom and victimhood, and the public memory of genocide and exile, highlighting how these historical events have been remembered and interpreted in the region’s collective consciousness. Some of the articles in this issue is OPEN ACCESS.
