520    Today, nearly any group or nation with violence in its 
       past has constructed or is planning a memorial museum as a
       mechanism for confronting past trauma, often together with
       truth commissions, trials, and/or other symbolic or 
       material reparations. Exhibiting Atrocity documents the 
       emergence of the memorial museum as a new cultural form of
       commemoration, and analyzes its use in efforts to come to 
       terms with past political violence and to promote 
       democracy and human rights. Through a global comparative 
       approach, Amy Sodaro uses in-depth case studies of five 
       exemplary memorial museums that commemorate a range of 
       violent pasts and allow for a chronological and global 
       examination of the trend: the U.S. Holocaust Memorial 
       Museum in Washington, DC; the House of Terror in Budapest,
       Hungary; the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre in Rwanda; 
       the Museum of Memory and Human Rights in Santiago, Chile; 
       and the National September 11 Memorial Museum in New York.
       Together, these case studies illustrate the historical 
       emergence and global spread of the memorial museum and 
       show how this new cultural form of commemoration is 
       intended to be used in contemporary societies around the 
       world.
