James Young pioneered the study of Holocaust memorials, whether in the form of public monuments like the Warsaw Ghetto monument or museums like Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. This was his first book on the subject, and it is still a must-read for anyone interested in how memorials shape our way of looking at the past.
