How can you commemorate an atrocity with which so much of the local population had been identified only a short time before? There, too, Holocaust commemoration arose from a meeting of cultures and a struggle over cultural primacy between Germany’s past and present. Holocaust commemoration in Germany was particularly difficult for many years. In a few countries, the Holocaust was commemorated nationally in others, locally and in most, not at all. The Holocaust has been commemorated since the end of the Second World War (1939-1945).
The Holocaust was a systematic process that took place in Europe between 19, where the Nazis and their collaborators, under German chancellor Adolf Hitler, first persecuted and then tried to annihilate the Jewish inhabitants of all countries under their domination based on their interpretation of a pseudo-scientific racial theory. This is certainly true with regards to Holocaust remembrance commemoration. Commemoration and remembrance fill several needs simultaneously, creating a source of unification and continuity, acting as a tool to develop an ethos to be passed down to future generations, and integrating patterns of belief to provide a building block in the healing process. Judith Tydor Baumel-Schwartz, Director of the Finkler Institute of Holocaust Research at Bar-Ilan University in IsraelĬommemoration and remembrance-“to honor and preserve the memory of something for all eternity”-is an ancient concept whereby people in the present leave a concrete reminder of prior events for the coming generations, creating a bridge between the past and the future.
