2. Use the lecture, Oxford Illustrated’s essay by Modris Eksteins, and the films shown in class, specifically All Quiet and Battalion, to discuss specific memory cultures that developed around World War I. Use examples to illustrate general tendencies of war memories and also address how these memories differed between different countries. How were American memories different from Russian, German or East European ones? How might middle-class memories have differed from working class memories (be careful not to generalize but to find specific examples here).
