Exhibiting Atrocity documents the emergence of the memorial museum as a new cultural form of commemoration, and analyzes its use in efforts to come to terms with past political violence and to promote democracy and human rights. Through a global comparative approach, Amy Sodaro uses in-depth case studies of five exemplary memorial museums that commemorate a range of violent pasts and allow for a chronological and global examination of the trend: the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC; the House of Terror in Budapest, Hungary; the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre in Rwanda; the Museum of Memory and Human Rights in Santiago, Chile; and the National September 11 Memorial Museum in New York. Together, these case studies illustrate the historical emergence and global spread of the memorial museum and show how this new cultural form of commemoration is intended to be used in contemporary societies around the world. 606 $aCollective memory 606 $aCrimes against humanity$xMuseums 606 $aPolitical atrocities$xMuseums 606 $aGenocide$xMuseums 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $a911 memorial. 610 $a911. 610 $agenocide. 610 $aholocaust museum. 610 $aholocaust. 610 $amemorial museum. 610 $amuseums. 610 $aseptember 11 memorial. 615 0$aCollective memory. 615 0$aCrimes against humanity$xMuseums. 615 0$aPolitical atrocities$xMuseums. 615 0$aGenocide$xMuseums. 676 $a303.6075 700 $aSodaro$b Amy, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$0991624 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996449440403316 996 $aExhibiting Atrocity$92269456 997 $aUNISA
