description This article explores the widespread use of the ‘lessons’ of the era of the Second World War in Europe since 1945. This usage proved to be a resilient element of European cultural values, especially in Western Europe during the era of the Cold War.

These indicate changes not only in historical perspectives but also in the structures of civic morality.
