Memory and the Memorialization of the Holocaust

Memory and the memorialization of the Holocaust involve preserving and honoring the history, experiences, and victims of the genocide through education, memorials, and cultural expressions. Memory refers to personal and collective recollections, ensuring the events are not forgotten. Memorialization transforms these memories into physical monuments, museums, and ceremonies that foster understanding and reflection. This process aims to honor victims, prevent denial, and promote awareness about the dangers of hatred and intolerance, ensuring future generations remember the atrocities to promote tolerance and human rights.
