Wie finden Nationen nach traumatisierenden Geschehnissen wieder zu sich? Wer entscheidet über die Deutung vergangener Vorgänge, wer schreibt deren Geschichte, und was folgt daraus für die Gegenwart? Mit diesen Fragen im Gepäck bereiste Erna Paris die USA mit ihrer lange verschütteten Erinnerung an Sklaverei und Rassenhass; Südafrika mit seiner Wahrheitskommission, die die Wunden der Apartheid zu heilen sucht; Japan, Deutschland und Frankreich mit der unentrinnbaren Allgegenwart von Hiroshima, Holocaust und Kollaboration; und das ehemalige Jugoslawien, wo sie die zynische Manipulation historischer Erinnerung entlarvt, die in eine Orgie der Gewalt mündete.
