  • Politics of the Past: the Use and Abuse of History
    Cover History and Politics:Mise en page 1 3/20/09 4:04 PM Page 1 Twenty years after the end of the Cold War and the collapse of communism the battles about the right interpretation of the twentieth century past are still being fought. In some countries even the courts have their say on what is or is not the historical truth. But primarily politicians have claimed a dominant role Politics of the Past: in these debates, often mixing history and politics in an irresponsible way. The European Parliament has become the arena where this culminates. Nevertheless, not every Member of Parliament wants to play historian. That is the The Use and Abuse of History background of Politics of the Past, in which historians take the floor to discuss the tense and ambivalent relationship between their profession and politics. Pierre Hassner: “Judges are no better placed than governments to replace open Edited by dialogue between historians, between historians and public opinion, between citizens and within and between democratic societies. That is why this book is Hannes Swoboda and such an important initiative.” Jan Marinus Wiersma Politics of the Past: The Use and Abuse of History The of the Past: Politics Cover picture: Reporters/AP 5 7 2 6 2 3 2 8 2 9 ISBN 92-823-2627-5 8 7 QA-80-09-552-EN-C ISBN 978-92-823-2627-5 9 Politics of the Past: The Use and Abuse of History Edited by Hannes Swoboda and Jan Marinus Wiersma Dedicated to Bronisław Geremek Bronisław Geremek, historian, former political dissident and our dear colleague, was one of the speakers at the event which we organized in Prague to commemorate the Spring of 1968.

Bt*iti«h Socialist Party, 21a Maiden Lane, London, W.C.2 : .'UN 2 1963 . TKe TKi Xp^^...,. ....cv^-^^ k^^SiTY OF T0««>^-: By BOB S47193. The Eclipse of the International. On the 4th August, 1914, the Workers" Internationrm^^^^ breathed its last, and that watchword of Socialism " Death to militarism,'" which should have rung out clear and strong above the tumult of mobiHsation and the clash of arms, was unheard by the peoples of the world. Xo doubt this cry of revolt from a workers' movement animated bj' a true solidarity of the exploited against their task masters would have been promptly stifled by the death-dealing implements of war, and by the weight of censorship and martial law, but ere its defeat it would have awakened the consciences of thous- ands, who, in their turn, would have awakened thousands mofe. Thus the opposition of the workers to militarism would have swiftly followed on the declaration of war, instead of supervening years later, and the governing classes would have had to reckon from the start with an opposing force to whose ranks ever}' additional day of warfare would have brought fresh recruits, until thej^ assumed revolutionary strength. But. instead of this, the International remained silent. The International, that is to say its executive and its representatives rather than its component sections, has never, unto this day, refuted the shameful conduct ta which its members had to submit, and which subse- quent events have fully shown up.
