Contents Zakhor: the task of Holocaust remembrance, questions of representation, and the sacred -- Daniel Libeskind's architecture of absence in the Jewish Museum Berlin -- Architectures of redemption and experience: Yad Vashem and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum -- The artful eye: learning to see and perceive otherwise inside museum exhibits -- "We are the last witnesses:" artifact, aura, and authenticity -- Refiguring the sacred through words, flames, and trains -- Rituals of remembrance: Zionism and pilgrimage on Har Hazikaron and encountering the void in Berlin.
Summary In Holocaust Memory Reframed, Jennifer Hansen-Glucklich examines Holocaust representations in three museums: Israel's Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, Germany's Jewish Museum in Berlin, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. As she interprets the exhibits, Hansen-Glucklich clarifies how museums communicate Holocaust narratives within the historical and cultural contexts specific to Germany, Israel, and the United States.
