The Texture of Memory: Holocaust Memorials and Meaning
by James E. Young
On This Page
Description
"In this landmark study of Holocaust memorials, James E. Young explores both the idea of the monument and its role in public memory, discussing how every nation remembers the Holocaust according to its own traditions, ideals, and experiences and how these memorials reflect the ever-evolving meanings of the Holocaust in Europe, Israel, and America. The result is a groundbreaking study of Holocaust memory, public art, and their fusion in contemporary life." -- Back cover.Tags
