How should Germany commemorate the mass murder of Jews once committed in its name? In 1997, James E. Young was invited to join a German commission appointed to find an appropriate design for a national memorial in Berlin to the European Jews killed in World War II. As the only foreigner and only Jew on the panel, Young gained a unique perspective on Germanys fraught efforts to memorialize the Holocaust. In this book, he tells for the first time the inside story of Germanys national Holocaust memorial and his own role in it.In exploring Germanys memorial crisis, Young also asks the more general question of how a generation of contemporary artists can remember an event like the Holocaust, which it never knew directly. Young examines the works of a number of vanguard artists in America and Europeincluding Art Spiegelman, Shimon Attie, David Levinthal, and Rachel Whitereadall born after the Holocaust but indelibly shaped by its memory as passed down through memoirs, film, photographs, and museums. In the context of the moral and aesthetic questions raised by these avantgarde projects, Young offers fascinating insights into the controversy surrounding Berlins newly opened Jewish museum, designed by Daniel Libeskind, as well as Germanys soontobebuilt national Holocaust memorial, designed by Peter Eisenman.Illustrated with striking images in color and blackandwhite, At Memorys Edge isthe first book in any language to chronicle these projects and to show how we remember the Holocaust in the afterimages of its history.

This book, 'Afterimages of the Holocaust in Contemporary Art and Architecture' by At Memory's Edge, really gets you thinking. The blend of art and historical perspective is compelling, and I found the insights into how these themes are portrayed in modern architecture fascinating. It’s definitely a heavy read but worth every moment if you're interested in the subject!

Interesting but Dense Material
I wanted to love this book, and there are some truly powerful interpretations of Holocaust memorials and art. However, I found some sections quite dense and a bit hard to follow. Not sure if it’s the writing style or the depth of the subject, but it took me longer to get through than I expected. Still, it has valuable content for anyone interested in this area.

Disappointing Format
I was really looking forward to diving into 'Afterimages of the Holocaust in Contemporary Art and Architecture', but I was let down. The physical book arrived with some pages crumpled, which made it hard to focus on the content. The material itself was intriguing, but the presentation was off. I hope the next edition has better quality control!
