Abstract

[This analysis sets out with Zygmunt Bauman’s insight about memorials and commemorations in mind: despite popular belief that they heal the wounds of loss, in practice they heal nothing because they are never about reconciliation. The example analyzed in light of Bauman’s statement is a memorial narrative of Yugoslav forced laborers in Nazi camps in Norway during World War II. From 1942 to 1945 thousands of forced laborers were sent to Nazi labor camps in Norway. The labor was used to build the Atlantic Wall, a German defense line for occupied western Europe against Allied invasion.]
