Memory, resentment and the politization of trauma: narratives of World War II (Danube Swabians, Entre Rios, Guarapuava - Paraná)
This article addresses narratives about the Second World War published in Deutsches Wort, the supplement in German language of the Jornal de Entre Rios(Guarapuava, Paraná, Brazil). The article focuses on an interview produced in 1984 with an immigrant of the Entre Rios colony, Guarapuava, deported to Ukraine during the war. This interview was carried out in 1984, although edited and published by this journal only in 1994, when the 50 years of the expulsion of the "Danube Swabians" from Romania, Hungary and ex-Yugoslavia were remembered. The construction of an overcoming sense and of a collective memory about these events, by editing and standardizing the traumatic memories of the witnesses, was assessed.
