Shoah Presence - Architectural Representations of the Holocaust

Zusatztext 'In this personal! yet deeply learned exploration of Holocaust commemoration on the cusp of "new media!" Eran Neuman examines an age when physical memorials and architectural representation of Holocaust memory become something else altogether. Shoah Presence: Architectural Representations of the Holocaust is a sensitive meditation on the ways aesthetic spaces in the landscape conjure internal memory spaces within us.' James E. Young!
