Kurzfassung:
Following is a summary of the revised version. Discussing Holocaust memorials established in Poland, West Germany, Israel, and the USA as examples, examines the ways the Holocaust has been memorialized, interpreted, and built into the national mythology of each country. Thus, Polish authorities (at the Auschwitz and Majdanek memorials, for example) tended to equate Jewish victims with Polish and other ones; some Israeli memorials, such as at Yad Mordechai and Kibbutz Lohamei Haghetaot, stress Jewish resistance and try to link the Holocaust with the State of Israel; the founders of the memorials in the USA emphasize the role of Americans in the liberation of the concentration camps, or present the Holocaust as an ultimate example of intolerance.
