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 US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC; the House of Terror in Budapest; 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"-- 650 0 Memorialization |xMuseums. 650 0 Political atrocities |xMuseums. 650 0 Genocide |xMuseums. 650 0 Crimes against humanity |xMuseums. 650 0 Collective memory. 650 0 Historical museums. 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6069_000000000000000_SOD |70 |8REF |9129512OSA |bOSA |d2020-07-10 |eOSA |l0 |o069 SOD |r2020-07-10 |w2020-07-10 |yBK |cReference 920 01 jYx88VYq 992 01 069_000000000000000_SOD |bZTQ_ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_7BM 966 |cIn the Research Room
