Thesis - Atlantic City Boardwalk Holocaust Memorial
Type
In 2009, Atlantic
City held an international competition to select a design for a Holocaust
memorial that would be located on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The site was
chosen to ensure the memorial would benefit from the millions of people who
pass by it each year already. Atlantic City provides the opportunity for a
variety of visitors ranging in all ages and backgrounds to view the memorial.
Through the format
of the memorial competition, this thesis attempts to answer the questions: Why are some
memorials considered to be successful at capturing the essence of the tragedy
of the Holocaust while others are not? How can a memorial emotionally impact a
visitor who wasn’t a victim or a friend or a family member of a victim? This
thesis is an investigation of memorial design and its ability or inability to
reflect the many nuances of tragedy and atrocity and to evoke emotions like
sympathy, outrage and resolve in a variety of people from a range of different
backgrounds.
