Austrian cultural production after 1945 has been enduringly haunted by unsavoury truths. The fraught relationship of post-war Austria with its own history and the collective denial of responsibility for National Socialist crimes informed a cultural discourse that was polarized between apologetic or extremely judgmental viewpoints (Fliedl 1998).

Sebald 1991).
