Beschrijving
The analysis of Holocaust museums and memorials across Europe lead to questions concerning the nature of history, the way victims are represented and the image of the perpetrators that the monuments aim to give. To what extent should Holocaust museums and memorials encompass the complexity of the history involved? To what extent have architectural features depicted the extent of the Holocaust in museums and memorials? How does the challenging of predominant political opinions influence the remembrance of the Holocaust in different nations?
