'Der Beitrag skizziert die Thematisierung der nationalsozialistischen Vergangenheit im Fernsehen der Bundesrepublik der 1950er Jahre. In dieser frühen Phase konstituierte das Medium noch keine eigene Öffentlichkeit sondern spiegelte im Wesentlichen die Perspektiven von Film, Theater und Literatur. Bezogen auf die NS-Vergangenheit bedeutete dies, dass auch das Fernsehen an der Inszenierung eines nationalen Mythos beteiligt war, der die deutschen Opfer in den Mittelpunkt der Erinnerung stellte. Im Zentrum standen demzufolge der Krieg und die Kriegsfolgen, während der Mord an den europäischen Juden allenfalls in Ausnahmefällen behandelt wurde.' (Autorenreferat)... view less

'This article outlines the dealing with the Nazi past in West German television of the 1950's. In this early phase the medium television did not yet constitute a public space in itself but reflected perspectives presented in film, theatre and literature. By concentrating on the war and its consequences television too participated in national myth-making, focusing entirely on the remembrance of German victims of war, while mentioning the mass murder of the European Jews only by exception, if at all.'
