Hope M. Harrison, associate professor of history and international affairs, draws on extensive archival sources and interviews to profile key memory activists who have fought to commemorate the history of the Berlin Wall. She examines their role in the creation of a new German national narrative three decades after the fall of the Wall, and traces how global memory of the Wall has impacted German memory policy.
