Encountering Nazi Tourism Sites explores how the terrible legacy of
Nazi criminality is experienced by tourists, bridging the gap
between cultural criminology and tourism studies to make a
significant contribution to our understanding of how Nazi
criminality is evoked and invoked in the landscape of modern
Germany. This study is grounded in fieldwork encounters with
memorials, museums and perpetrator sites across Germany and the
Netherlands, including Berlin Holocaust memorials and museums, the
Anne Frank House, the Wannsee House, Wewelsburg Castle and
concentration camps. At the core of this research is a respect for
each site's unique physical, architectural or curatorial form and
how this enables insights into different aspects of the Holocaust.
Chapters grapple with themes of authenticity, empathy, voyeurism
and vicarious experience to better comprehend the possibilities and
limits of affective encounters at these sites. This will be of
great interest to upper level students and researchers of
criminology, Holocaust studies, museology, tourism studies,
memorialisation studies and the burgeoning field of 'difficult'
heritage.
