War Remains: Mediations of Suffering and Death in the Era of the World Wars

In the first half of the 20th century, more than 120 million people lost their lives in untimely or violent deaths – on the battlefield, in concentration camps, through fierce air strikes or as casualties of the many severe epidemics and hardships that followed in war’s path. The experiences of war travelled through and between different media of the time and were often focused on the emotional, the personal, the everyday and the subjective. This book is about these sense-making, persisting media representations and narratives, how they were established in different media formats and how they moved between different media of the time.
