Holocaust Monuments and National Memory

More about the book

Focusing on the Vélo d'Hiver in Paris and the Holocaust Monument in Berlin, the author explores their roles as unique memorials that foster public discourse about the persecution of Jews during WWII. Rather than merely commemorating history, these sites promote dialogue and consensus on the memorialization of war crimes. The book highlights how media communication shapes the significance of these monuments, transforming them into symbols that challenge conventional notions of heritage and patriotism.
