Memorials and Monuments to the Holocaust

Every year 10 or so new plaques, monuments or memorials to the Holocaust appear in the Czech Republic at sites commemorating the tragic fate of Jews and Roma during WWII. The discussion will focus on the question of what purpose Holocaust memorials and monuments serve in the 21st century. The evening will conclude with the presentation of the book Pomníky a památníky holokaustu ve střední Evropě (Holocaust Memorials and Monuments in Central Europe).
