How is the Holocaust remembered in Romania since the fall of
communism? Alexandru Florian and an international group of
contributors unveil how and why Romania, a place where large
segments of the Jewish and Roma populations perished, still fails
to address its recent past. These essays focus on the roles of
government and public actors that choose to promote, construct,
defend, or contest the memory of the Holocaust, as well as the
tools—the press, the media, monuments, and commemorations—that
create public memory. Coming from a variety of perspectives, these
essays provide a compelling view of what memories exist, how they
are sustained, how they can be distorted, and how public
remembrance of the Holocaust can be encouraged in Romanian society
today.
