Reviews

"'In this personal, yet deeply learned exploration of Holocaust commemoration on the cusp of ""new media,"" Eran Neuman examines an age when physical memorials and architectural representation of Holocaust memory become something else altogether. Shoah Presence: Architectural Representations of the Holocaust is a sensitive meditation on the ways aesthetic spaces in the landscape conjure internal memory spaces within us.' James E. Young, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA ’This book studies Holocaust museums on the premise that their location away from the site of trauma poses an intriguing set of representational, philosophical and even political problems. Neuman’s brilliant and thorough analysis brings the reader into the heart of the multi-layered contestations about what architecture should or should not do in these contexts.’ Mark Jarzombek, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA"
