Commemoration of a cold war : The politics of history and heritage at Cold War memory sites in Denmark
(2015) In Cold War History 15(4). p.471-490- Abstract
- This article brings together the fields of Cold War studies and memory studies.
In Denmark, a remarkable institutionalisation of Cold War memory has taken
place in the midst of a heated ideological battle over the past and whether to
remember the Cold War as a “war”. Using Danish Cold War museums and
heritage sites as case studies, this article sheds new light on the politics of history
involved in Cold War commemoration. It suggests that the Cold War is
commemorated as a war, yet this war memory is of a particular kind: it is a war
memory without victims.
