The Holocaust Memorial Museum: Sacred Secular Space by Avril Alba

The Holocaust Memorial Museum reveals and traces the transformation of ancient Jewish symbols, rituals, archetypes and narratives deployed in these sites. Demonstrating how cloaking the 'secular' history of the Holocaust in sacred garb, memorial museums generate redemptive yet conflicting visions of the meaning and utility of Holocaust memory.

The Holocaust Memorial Museum Reviews

Albas book is an outstanding contribution to the discussion of what can and ought to follow the imminent arrival of the post-participant stage in Holocaust memorialization. (Arthur Shostak, The European Legacy, Vol. 22 (5), March, 2017)
