On the Intersections of Collective Memory and Foreign Policy: The Case of Yad Vashem’s Use of Holocaust Trauma in the Discourse on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflic

Summary/Abstract: Adopting a new materialist perspective, the article analyzes the exhibition offered by the historical museum of Yad Vashem in Jerusalem to commemorate Shoah. It aims at exposing the subtle references the exhibition makes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The argumentation reveals the multiple ways in which official strategies of remembering the traumatic past are shaped by contemporary discourses or political challenges, placing emphasis on the important intersections of historical policy and current political ventures.
