| Abstract | Who is a Holocaust memorial for? Who has the authority to decide on its form, and how should we expect its audience to respond? The Berlin neighbourhood of Schöneberg is home to two large-scale Holocaust memorials: one created by an artistic partnership that won competition judged by arts professionals and government officials, and one created by local people after researching local residents who became victims of National Socialism. This paper looks at both of them and asks who the imagined audience is for each, who has the authority to decide a memorial’s form, and what kind of impact each memorial has the people who engage with it. |
