Levick, C. orcid.org/0000-0002-6310-753X (2023) Decolonizing remembrance in Eastern Europe: commemorating the Holocaust in post-communist Romania. Holocaust Studies, 29 (4). pp. 588-609. ISSN 1750-4902
Abstract
Examination of regime changes in Eastern Europe reveals significant insights into the development of post-communist politics of memory and commemoration. It also allows for meaningful conversations about events that had been historically ignored or redefined by state narratives during communism, including the active involvement of Eastern European countries in the Holocaust. The Elie Wiesel Memorial House in Sighetu Marmației (2002) and the Holocaust Memorial in Bucharest (2009), both in Romania, will be analyzed within the larger framework of a current decolonial conceptualization of former Eastern European state socialist regimes, and their cultural and political experiences at the periphery of Europe.
