Commentary on memorials to the Holocaust has been plagued with a
sense of "monument fatigue", a feeling that landscape settings and
national spaces provide little opportunity for meaningful
engagement between present visitors and past victims. This book
examines the Holocaust via three sites of murder by the Nazis: the
former concentration camp at Buchenwald, Germany; the mass grave at
Babi Yar, Ukraine; and the razed village of Lidice, Czech Republic.
Bringing together recent scholarship from cultural memory and
cultural geography, the author focuses on the way these violent
histories are remembered, allowing these sites to emerge as dynamic
transcultural landscapes of encounter in which difficult pasts can
be represented and comprehended in the present. This leads to an
examination of the role of the environment, or, more particularly,
the ways in which the natural environment, co-opted in the process
of killing, becomes a medium for remembrance.
