The cultural story of denazification

The qualifications of an author to write about his or her subject are rarely so well established in an opening line as Michael Hans Kater’s are in the first sentence of After the Nazis: The Story of Culture in West Germany: "On Tuesday, May 1, 1945, I was drying a small collection of Hitler stamps on the windowsill of my grandfather's house in a small village near Bremen in North Germany." Kater, a distinguished research professor emeritus of history at York University whose work has covered a wide range of German history, here finishes a trilogy of work concerning, respectively, culture in the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany, and, now, just what the subtitle of this new work says.
