'The long-awaited union of memory studies with empirical genocide
research is consummated in this important volume. Combining empathy
with clear-headed reconstructions of well- and lesser-known cases,
Remembering Genocide communicates the universal significance of
local knowledge about individual trauma, the construction of group
catastrophe and its inter-generational transmission. Written with
conceptual sophistication and narrative flair, these essays mark
the birth of a genuinely global approach to the study of
modernity's dark side.' - Dirk Moses, European University

sites and media for remembrance, including museums and memorials,
books, film and video, study tours, and political discourse.
