Memorable Quote (from the book)
"To understand Germany is to understand the tensions between memory and identity in modern Europe."
Translation (Sinhala):
"ජර්මනිය වටහා ගැනීම යනු නූතන යුරෝපයේ මතකය සහ හැඳුනුම අතර ඇති ආතතිය වටහා ගැනීමයි."
Translation (Tamil):
"ஜெர்மனியை புரிந்துகொள்வது என்பது நவீன ஐரோப்பாவில் நினைவுகளும் அடையாளங்களும் இடையே உள்ள முரண்பாடுகளைப் புரிந்துகொள்வதே ஆகும்."
