Travelling to Remember -- $tBibliography -- $tIndex 330 $aCommentary on memorials to the Holocaust has been plagued with a sense of ?monument fatigue?, a feeling that landscape settings and national spaces provide little opportunity for meaningful engagement between present visitors and past victims. This book examines the Holocaust via three sites of murder by the Nazis: the former concentration camp at Buchenwald, Germany; the mass grave at Babi Yar, Ukraine; and the razed village of Lidice, Czech Republic. Bringing together recent scholarship from cultural memory and cultural geography, the author focuses on the way these violent histories are remembered, allowing these sites to emerge as dynamic transcultural landscapes of encounter in which difficult pasts can be represented and comprehended in the present. This leads to an examination of the role of the environment, or, more particularly, the ways in which the natural environment, co-opted in the process of killing, becomes a medium for remembrance. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAtrocities$zEurope$vCase studies 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xHistory$vCase studies 606 $aCollective memory$zEurope$vCase studies 606 $aHistorical geography$zEurope$vCase studies 607 $aEurope$xEthnic relations 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAtrocities 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xHistory 615 0$aCollective memory 615 0$aHistorical geography 676 $a940.53/18 686 $aBD 7110$2rvk 700 $aRapson$b Jessica$01699447 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809248003321 996 $aTopographies of suffering$94081698 997 $aUNINA
