Abstract:
Through the examples of the main urban museums and memorials worldwide, this work scrutinizes several issues elicited by the memorial policy of the Shoah (in the realms of urban planning, tourism, geopolitics, or pedagogy). Indeed, each of those museums or memorials is part of a process involving political, territorial as well as identity-related stakes. Thus, they insert the cities where they are built in within the worldwide network of the memory of the Shoah.
