Abstract

This case study will take Volker Losemann’s recently published collection of essays titled Clio und die Nationalsozialisten and the (often far from complimentary) reception of his groundbreaking work on classics in the Third Reich since the 1970s as a starting point to reflect on wider discourses that have led to academic “forgetting” of this period in German classical scholarship.
