Abstract:
|
This paper contrasts and compares two salient Holocaust commemorations via an exploration of the debates that accompanied their planing; their journalistic coverage; and through their interpretation of the Holocaust story. The paper maintains that despite important similarities, the two museums reflect opposing perceptions of the Holocaust: while the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum represents the Holocaust as an American story that bears American and universal lessons, the Museum of Jewish Heritage - a Living Memorial to the Holocaust presents the Holocaust as a Jewish story that bears Jewish lessons. |
