Résumé anglais Memory and History: The Monumentalization of the Warsaw Ghetto
The different memorials placed on the site of the former Warsaw Ghetto express in their architectural and sculptural forms the successive historical climates and what the established powers or organisms of preservation and conservation have wished to transmit concerning, on the one hand, the 1943 uprising and the memory of the Jewish-Polish community and, on the other hand, their definition of Nazism. If the first such monument glorifies a whole people, those succeeding it attempt, in addition, to coming closer to a less triumphant type of truth, that of mass extermination and the dehumanization that underlies it.
