Genocide Memorials

From the BBC:
"The rise of genocide memorials"

 Millions of tourists have walked through the iron gates at Auschwitz bearing the legend Arbeit Macht Frei (work makes you free) to pay their respects.  Last year, a record 1.4 million people visited the site, while Holocaust memorials all over the world are also seeing numbers soar. What compels people to visit sites of mass death, like the 9/11 memorial? At the same time, other sites of massacres or genocide and cemeteries are becoming increasingly popular with tourists. Bosnia, Cambodia and Rwanda, are among the destinations on what has become known as the "genocide tourism" map.

Memorials around the world

• Srebrenica-Potočari Memorial
• Kigali Memorial Centre
• Cambodia's killing fields
• Auschwitz concentration camp

^ I think it's good for people to visit these kinds of memorials. Although the fact that these places continue to exist shows that we haven't learned much after 1945 with the "Never Again" slogan. ^
