Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1989, two sites of memory with respect to the deportation and persecution of Jews in France and Germany during the Second World War have received intense public attention: the Vélo d'Hiver (Winter Velodrome) in Paris and the Monument for the Murdered Jews of Europe or Holocaust Monument in Berlin. Why is this so? Both monuments, the author argues, are unique in the history of memorial projects. Although they are genuine "sites of memory", neither monument celebrates history, but rather serve as platforms for the deliberation, negotiation and promotion of social consensus over the memorial status of war crimes in France and Germany. The debates over these monuments indicate that it is the communication among members of the public via the mass media, rather than qualities inherent in the sites themselves, which transformed these sites into symbols beyond traditional conceptions of heritage and patriotism.

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Theologie - Historische Theologie, Kirchengeschichte, Note: 1,0, Universität Bielefeld, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Denkmäler haben eine elementare Funktion in einer Gesellschaft. Sie sind vermittelnde Medien zwischen der Vergangenheit und der Gegenwart. Denkmäler repräsentieren einerseits neutral die Geschichte einer Kultur, andererseits implizieren sie auch evident die Bedeutung des Vergangenen für eine Gesellschaft. Bereits die Diskussionen um ihren Bau oder Nicht-Bau symbolisieren die „politischen und mentalen Transformationen einer Gesellschaft“ . Ein Denkmal spiegelt nicht nur ein erinnerungswürdiges Ereignis der Vergangenheit wider, sondern auch den Umgang eines Volkes mit seiner Vergangenheit. Peter Carrier formuliert es ähnlich: „It is necessarily a product and reflection of its time, derived from the initiative of an individual, group or state.“ Mahnmäler lassen Schlüsse über den Grad und die Intensität der Ereignisverarbeitung zu, da die Darstellungsweise den Erinnerungsmodus widerspiegelt. Eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung, basierend auf der Interpretation von Denkmälern, führte auch Janet Jacobs, Professorin für Soziologie an der Universität von Colorado, durch. Sie untersuchte die Erinnerungskultur zum Holocaust in Deutschland unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Betrachtung der Rolle der Synagogen und heiligen Kultgegenstände. Ihre Forschungsarbeit basiert auf Feldarbeit an fünfzig Gedächtnisstätten zur Kristallnacht. Ihre Forschungsergebnisse legte Janet Jacobs im Jahr 2008 in der „Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion“ dar.

Book excerpt: The Holocaust Memorial Museum reveals and traces the transformation of ancient Jewish symbols, rituals, archetypes and narratives deployed in these sites. Demonstrating how cloaking the 'secular' history of the Holocaust in sacred garb, memorial museums generate redemptive yet conflicting visions of the meaning and utility of Holocaust memory.

Book excerpt: "The Second World War was a common experience of cultural and historical rupture for many European countries, but studies of this period and its after-images often remain locked in national frameworks. Jones' comparative study of national memory cultures argues for a more nuanced view of responses to shared issues of remembrance. Focusing on the 1960s and 1970s, two decades of great change and debate in French and German discourses of memory, it investigates literary representations of the Second World War, and in particular the Holocaust, from France and both Germanies. The study encompasses thirteen works representing a variety of genres and divergent perspectives, and authors include Jorge Semprun, Peter Weiss, Georges Perec and Bernward Vesper. Addressing the underlying theme of travel as a means of exploring the past, it contrasts the journeys made by deportees and post-war visitors to the camps with the use of the journey as a literary device."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since unification, eastern Germany has witnessed a rapidly changing memorial landscape, as the fate of former socialist monuments has been hotly debated and new commemorative projects have met with fierce controversy. Memorializing the GDR provides the first in-depth study of this contested arena of public memory, investigating the individuals and groups devoted to the creation or destruction of memorials as well as their broader aesthetic, political, and historical contexts. Emphasizing the interrelationship of built environment, memory and identity, it brings to light the conflicting memories of recent German history, as well as the nuances of national and regional constructions of identity.
