Erinnerung im globalen Zeitalter : der Holocaust

Contends that commemoration of the Holocaust has become a model for critical historical retrospective reflection in the era of globalization. Memorials today commemorate the victims rather than the perpetrators or heroes. Discusses museums and memorial sites, and discussions and debates, as examples of Holocaust commemoration in different countries, especially in Germany, the USA, and Israel, as well as the recent proliferation of reparations claims. All of these serve as an important institutional guidepost for cosmopolitical orientation in dealing with crimes against humanity worldwide and their consequences. 1. Aufl. 253, [1] pages ; 20 cm.
