Abstract

Starting from the premise that post-Communist memorial museums dedicated to events that took place during World War II share significant similarities, this chapter will consider a recent aspect of the “Europeanization of memory” since 1989: the universalization and Europeanization of the Holocaust as a negative founding myth for post-1945 Europe in relation to the Holocaust’s difficult place in post-Communist national narratives of “Eastern Europe.” The focus here is on Croatia, and on one post-Communist memorial display in particular—the ultra-modern exhibition at the Jasenovac Memorial Museum, which opened in 2006.
