Complicated Complicity is about the forms taken motives and spectrum of actions of European
collaboration with the Nazis. State authorities local military organizations and individual
players in different countries and areas including France Scandinavia Lithuania Poland
Ukraine Romania Hungary Slovakia Greece Italy Portugal and the countries of the former
Yugoslavia are discussed in the context of the history of World War II the history of
occupation and everyday life and as an essential influencing factor in the Holocaust. New forms
of right-wing populism nationalism and growing intolerance of Jewish fellow citizens and
minorities have made such historically sensitive studies considerably more difficult in many
countries today. In this time of increasing historical revisionism in Europe such elucidating
discourse is particularly relevant.
