"Main description: In Nürnberg und Tokio standen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg die Hauptrepräsentanten des Nationalsozialismus und des japanischen Ultranationalismus vor Gericht und mussten sich wegen der von beiden Diktaturen verübten Massenverbrechen verantworten. In der Folgezeit tat sich Japan noch schwerer damit als Westdeutschland, seine Vergangenheit zu "bewältigen". Dies lag nicht allein daran, dass die Verbrechen nur teilweise vergleichbar waren und der Tennô in Tokio nicht auf die Anklagebank kam. Vielmehr konnten die Japaner nach dem apokalyptischen Schock der Atombomben auf Hiroshima und Nagasaki einen Opferstatus für sich reklamieren, der die japanischen Verbrechen im Weltkrieg lange Zeit verdeckte, während sich den Deutschen, trotz Bombenkrieg und Vertreibung, eine solche Ausflucht nicht eröffnete. Überdies war die Insel im Fernen Osten als allein auf die USA gestütztes Bollwerk gegen den ostasiatischen Kommunismus erinnerungskulturell einem viel geringeren Außendruck ausgesetzt als die in eine internationale Wirtschafts- und Verteidigungsgemeinschaft eingebundene Bundesrepublik. Manfred Kittel untersucht ferner die Bedeutung der inneren Kräfte - der konservativen Regierung und der linken Opposition, der Medien und der Geschichtswissenschaft - im Umgang mit den Lasten der Vergangenheit: bei der Ahndung von Kriegs- und Gewaltverbrechen, bei der "Wiedergutmachung" für die Opfer und der Entwicklung der politischen Kultur in einer shintôistisch bzw. protestantisch geprägten Erinnerungslandschaft bis hin zur Studentenbewegung der 1960er Jahre."
