Volker Benkert is an assistant professor in the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies at Arizona State University. His research focuses on the impact of sudden regime change on biographies after both totalitarian regimes in twentieth-century Germany. He is the author of The Last Children of Socialism: Biographies of East Germans Born Around 1970, and the editor of two volumes on generational history and German-American relations since 1945. His current research focuses on memory of the Nazi past in German film, which despite great strides to acknowledge the horrors of the Holocaust still includes highly apologetic and redemptive narrative traits. Michael Mayer is an assistant professor at the Political Academy in Tutzing, Germany. His research focuses mainly on the Holocaust in Vichy France, asylum policy in West Germany, and German foreign policy after 1949. An editor of several volumes, Mayer is also the author of States as Perpetrators: Ministerial Bureaucracy and Anti-Jewish Policy in National Socialist Germany and Vichy France. Most recently he edited The Persecution and Murder of the European Jews by Nazi Germany, 1933–1945, Volume 5.
