Abstract

This paper looks at how the history of World War II and the Holocaust, in particular, has been treated in museums in Europe. It also discusses a trend within which the political and educational treatment of the Holocaust has been shifted in Germany's neighboring countries. Examples are drawn from history-related institutions and museums in Sweden, Czech and France. The trend in addressing past injustices should be seen in relation to heightened commitments to human rights in the context of post-Cold War international relationships.
