Wie heißt es so schön, in eigener Sache: Ich habe gerade die Druchfahnen meines neuen Buches durchgesehen. Es wird Anfang September bei Böhlau erscheinen und stellt den Abschluss meines "Trümmerfrauen"-Projekts dar:
Ein Buchcover mit einem Trümmerhaufen im Vordergrund, im Hintergrund die Votivkirche. Der Text lautet: Ruinen der Erinnerung. Die Suche nach der österreichischen Trümmerfrau. Martin Tschiggerl

A popular joke about an imagined inhabitant of #CentralEurope hinges on their ambivalence to the shifting national boundaries around them. Born in Hungary, apprenticed in Czechoslovakia, fought in Hungary, became a Soviet citizen, and settled in Ukraine, all while never leaving their home town.

The idea of Austrian "Trümmerfrauen" and their sacrifices reconstructing post-WWII Vienna has provided a positive reconstruction myth and opportunities to valorize the suffering of former National Socialists as themselves victimized.
But who actually cleared the rubble from postwar Vienna?
