联邦德国“新右派”历史修正主义批判

A Critique on the Historical Revisionism of the Neo-Right in the Federal Republic of Germany

自20世纪70年代中期以来,联邦德国部分倾向于民族保守主义的历史学家、时事评论家和自由作家连续发表著作,力图打破"禁忌",颠覆左派"知识霸权",重新解说德国历史,特别是纳粹主义和第二次世界大战的历史,使纳粹主义"历史化"、纳粹罪行"相对化",在"卸却负担的"历史观的基础上,构建"有自我意识的"民族认同,恢复德国传统的大国地位。"新右派"历史修正主义虽然只是联邦德国政治文化中的一股"逆流",但有较深的历史和社会根源,必须予以认真对待,严肃批判。

From the mid-1970s, some historians, commentators and free-lance writers of national conservatism orientations began to publicize works aiming at re-explaining German history, especially history of the Nazi Regime and the Second World War. Based on a new perception that is ＇ freed from the burden of history＇ , these authors tried to ＇ historicize＇ Nazism, to ＇relativize＇ the crimes committed by the Nazis, and to construct a national identity of ＇ self-consciousness＇ , thus facilitating Germany＇s return to the status as a traditional great power. Although the Historical Revisionism of the Neo-Right is just a ＇ countercurrent＇ in the political culture of the Federal Republic of Germany, it does have a profound historical and social background. Therefore, it deserves our attention and must be seriously criticized.
