Representer l'Holocauste: Le traitement et la representation de l'Holocauste dans les musees-memoriaux d'Amerique du Nord. Etude comparative: Le United States Holocaust Memorial Museum et le Centre commemoratif de l'Holocauste a Montreal

Abstract

Cette recherche a pour objet l'étude de la présentation des mémoriaux de l'Holocauste de Washington et de Montréal. En plus d'une description sommaire de l'histoire de la perception de l'Holocauste en Amérique du Nord, une contextualisation de l'histoire des deux institutions et une description sommaire des expositions permanentes présentées par celles-ci, une analyse de la présentation est proposée. L'objectif premier est de mettre en relief les partis-pris des gestionnaires des musées et des concepteurs d'exposition, en ce qui a trait à la diversité des interprétations possibles de l'Holocauste. Situés à cheval entre la mémoire et l'histoire sur l'échelle temporelle, les musées posent la question de la pérennité et de nombreuses interrogations sont soulevées quant à la «véracité» et la qualité du récit qu'ils proposent aux visiteurs.

This research aims to study the presentation of Holocaust memorials in Washington and Montreal. In addition to a summary description of the history of the perception of the Holocaust in North America, a contextualization of the history of the two institutions and a summary description of the permanent exhibitions presented by them, an analysis of the presentation is proposed. The primary objective is to highlight the biases of museum managers and exhibit designers regarding the diversity of possible interpretations of the Holocaust. Straddling memory and history on the time scale, museums raise the question of sustainability and many questions are raised about the “veracity” and quality of the story they offer visitors.
