Summary:
"The uneasy link between
tourism
and collective memory at
Holocaust
museums and memorials. Each year, millions of people visit
Holocaust
memorials and museums, with the number of tourists steadily on the rise. What lies behind the phenomenon of "
Holocaust
tourism
" and what role do its participants play in shaping how we remember and think about the
Holocaust
? In
Postcards
from
Auschwitz
, Daniel P. Reynolds argues that
tourism
to former concentration camps, ghettos, and other places associated with the Nazi genocide of European Jewry has become an increasingly vital component in the evolving collective
remembrance
of the
Holocaust
. Responding to the tendency to dismiss
tourism
as commercial, superficial, or voyeuristic, Reynolds insists that we take a closer look at a phenomenon that has global reach, takes many forms, and serves many interests. The book focuses on some of the most prominent sites of mass murder in Europe, and then expands outward to more recent memorial museums. Reynolds provides a historically-informed account of the different forces that have shaped
Holocaust
tourism
since 1945, including Cold War politics, the sudden emergence of the "memory boom" beginning in the 1980s, and the awareness that eyewitnesses to the
Holocaust
are passing away. Based on his on-site explorations, the contributions from researchers in
Holocaust
studies and
tourism
studies, and the observations of tourists themselves, this book reveals how
tourism
is an important part of efforts to understand and remember the
Holocaust
, an event that continues to challenge ideals about humanity and our capacity to learn from the past."--From publisher.
