It made me think at something I never considered before - as the Holocaust is such as universal moment, it tends to be commemorated in similar tropes in multiple parts of the world - but the Holocaust is also a local moment in history and I find fascinating the thoughts that memorialization of the Holocaust can be done paying attention to the local aspect of rememebering.
