Abstract:
Th e article is an inquiry into the history and purpose of the Shoah Memorial inParis. It analyzes the very function of a memorial versus the function of a museum – and by doing so juxtaposes these two institutions as diametricaly opositeendeavors. Th e main hypothesis is that the museum, much like the university, orthe institute, deals with history, whereas the memorial deals with memory. One isorganized and conceptualized, “fi ltered” and “purifi ed”, the other is spontaneous,organic and intentionally in a state of dissaray. One stands for the community, theother for a crystalized, refi ned and elaborated image of the community. Th e perfectcase study for the examination of the given hypothesis is the Shoah Memorial inParis, as it is constituted out of both (as we have speculated, oposed) aspects thatmerge into the singular whole.
