| Summary: | Nearly three decades have passed since the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum opened in Washington, DC in 1993; that same year marked the appearance of James E. Young’s ground-breaking study The Texture of Memory (Yale University Press). As this simultaneity illustrates, it is difficult to disentangle the growth in the field of memory studies, which remains strongly concerned with and informed by the Holocaust, from the phenomena its researchers analyze: memorial sites, ceremonies, and participants enacting public remembrance. We have witnessed the transformation of Holocaust memorialization from local installations to large-scale national institutions of memory. |
