Beskrivning
Commentary on memorials to the Holocaust has been plagued with a sense of "monument fatigue," a feeling that landscape settings and national spaces provide little opportunity for meaningful engagement between present visitors and past victims. This book examines the Holocaust via three sites of murder by the Nazis: the former concentration camp at Buchenwald, Germany; the mass grave at Babi Yar, Ukraine; and the razed village of Lidice, Czech Republic. The author balances scrutiny with a focus on the way these violent histories are remembered, allowing these sites to emerge as dynamic transcultural landscapes of encounter in which difficult pasts can be represented and comprehended in the present.

Recensioner i media

"This book marks a clear interdisciplinary innovation and a new engagement with ... debates over memory ... it makes controversial and important new arguments and - its strength - examines the details through its very well-chosen and well balanced case studies." * Robert Eaglestone, University of London "... An interesting and original work, which ... prompts us to reflect on memories as dynamic elements and presents the past as a challenging arena always in connection with the present." * Alexandre Dessingue, University of Stavanger
