Encountering Nazi Tourism Sites
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-09733-9 (ISBN)
This study is grounded in fieldwork encounters with memorials, museums and perpetrator sites across Germany and the Netherlands, including Berlin Holocaust memorials and museums, the Anne Frank House, the Wannsee House, Wewelsburg Castle and concentration camps. At the core of this research is a respect for each site’s unique physical, architectural or curatorial form and how this enables insights into different aspects of the Holocaust. Chapters grapple with themes of authenticity, empathy, voyeurism and vicarious experience to better comprehend the possibilities and limits of affective encounters at these sites.
This will be of great interest to upper level students and researchers of criminology, Holocaust studies, museology, tourism studies, memorialisation studies and the burgeoning field of ‘difficult’ heritage.
Derek Dalton is an Associate Professor conducting research into gay hate homicide, the representation of homosexuality in popular culture, and crime-themed tourism and memorialisation. He lives in South Australia, loves dogs and going to the cinema to see arthouse films.
