Wassenaar 1952 marked the first time that reparations were the subject of negotiations between representatives of victims and perpetrators following mass human rights violations and genocide. The reparations program that Germany established after the Holocaust eventually became a point of reference for many calling for reparations to deal with the aftermath of other atrocities - from colonialism to slavery - in contexts as diverse as Namibia, the United States, and beyond. Combining perspectives from history, anthropology, international relations, and transitional justice, this volume reassesses the course and global legacy of these negotiations.
The book's holistic and nuanced intervention in the study of the politics of repair makes it essential reading for students of history, law, transitional justice, and political science interested in the complex topic of reparations.

"What was Wassenaar? This collection of papers by a diverse array of scholars shows that the gathering of representatives of the Federal Republic of Germany, Israel, and the Jewish Claims Conference gave new meaning to the idea of 'reparations.' Varied views are brought to bear on the innovation that took place during the negotiations in the Dutch town that led to an unprecedented agreement compensating for the wrongs done to Jews by the Third Reich. This volume is indispensable for anyone who wants to experience being 'present at the creation' of post-Holocaust reparations politics."John Torpey, Graduate Center, City University of New York, USA
