Reviews
Stephanie Rotem's insightful and thoroughly-researched compendium illustrates the wide spectrum of approaches through which the Holocaust is presented in museums around the world. Notwithstanding each institution's distinct qualities - whether through architectural design, location, or the host society's particular connection to this history - Rotem illuminates the common threads that link the earliest Holocaust exhibitions to those newly opened, as well as to those now being planned. How best to honor memory and ensure the continued relevance of these lessons for future generations becomes the central thesis of this seminal work. This compelling narrative should be essential reading for anyone interested in gaining a fuller understanding of this ongoing challenge, particularly when navigated against the backdrop of contemporary and often competing political currents. Rotem's thoughtful and incisive analysis is a welcome addition to the family of Holocaust scholarship. (Richard S. Hirschhaut, Executive Director, Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, Skokie, IL)
