Today, nearly any group or nation with violence in its past has constructed or is planning a memorial museum as a mechanism for confronting past trauma, often together with truth commissions, trials, and/or other symbolic or material reparations. Exhibiting atrocity documents the emergence of the memorial museum as a new cultural form of commemoration, and analyzes its use in efforts to come to terms with past political violence and to promote democracy and human rights.Á through a global comparative approach, amy sodaro uses in-depth case studies of five exemplary memorial museums that commemorate a range of violent pasts and allow for a chronological and global examination of the trend: the us holocaust memorial museum in washington, dc; the house of terror in budapest; the kigali genocide memorial centre in rwanda; the museum of memory and human rights in santiago, chile; and the national september 11 memorial museum in new york.
