Abstract: This study explores the concept of public memory by resorting to the private-public dichotomy as an analytical framework of political theory. Based on empirical evidence regarding the recollection of the Holocaust in Romania, it highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the public-private separation, as conceived by the liberal and public sphere models,with regard to the analysis of competing accounts of the past. Furthermore, drawing on subse - quent critiques of the habermasian theory of public sphere, this study discusses the memory work of marginalized publics and their counterdiscourses to the official Holocaust memory.
