Visitors to the House of Memory
«
“The book is highly insightful in discerning the politics of representation, especially in the case of memory and spaces that embody memory… What makes this book ethnographically compelling is that the audience reception and reaction is also voiced and interrogated.” • MEAH
“…the book provides an inspiring approach at a time when generational and societal changes call for the emendation of well-established patterns of memory and remembrance.” • German Studies Review
“Visitors to the House of Memory lucidly explores the intersection of museum experience, ethnic exclusion, and education. Its proposal for different models of inclusion in and through history education is very much needed in Germany and Europe today.” • Irit Dekel
“This is a very good ethnography of a central Berlin cultural institution. It deals with important questions of German national identity, guilt and responsibility, intergenerational transmission of memory, and museum pedagogy.” • Jackie Feldman, Ben Gurion University of the Negev
