Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A brief review cannot do justice to the nuanced arguments presented by Bernard-Donals. He blends archival research with theory about representation and rhetoric to provide an insightful study of the design of the USHMM, an excellent look 'behind the scenes.' [Figures of Memory] is a must-read for those who hope to understand key problems planners faced, major decisions they reached, and the effectiveness of the Museum in achieving its goals." -- Holocaust and Genocide Studies

"Figures of Memory makes an important contribution to our understanding of the purpose of Holocaust memorials and museums and to the way that those who visit the USHMM are affected by their experience. Bernard-Donals is at his best when he focuses on the documents and archival materials, which reveal a great deal of new information about the process of creating the museum, the CoC [Committee on Conscience], and the public programs, as well as on the impact on visitors." -- Reading Religion

"...an insightful contribution to the fields of museum studies, memory studies, and rhetorical studies." -- CHOICE

"...an impressive work of seminal scholarship and unreservedly recommended for community, college, and university library collections." -- Midwest Book Review

Reseña del editor:

Explores how the USHMM and other museums and memorials both displace and disturb the memories that they are trying to commemorate.
