Genocide memorial museums

The idea of memorial museums is based on a fundamental aspect of human culture: the ritual o visitation. This is linked to the process of memorialization as mourning and acknowledging the tragic fate of others, trying to understand it. In order to fully experience this we must visit places where the things we mourn are present or took place, because only through this are we able to activate the process of memory. We visit cemeteries as a sign of respect for the dead, commemoration and foremost a way of upholding memory of them.
