| description |
The turn of the century saw the proliferation of museums dedicated to the memory and history of the Holocaust in Latin America. These museums were built as spaces dedicated to reflect and transmit the history of the Jewish Holocaust in countries where the materiality of the events did not take place. In each country, the museums have elaborated diverse relationships with the recent past. In this way, a memory considered global interacted in different ways with local memories. This article investigates the creation, history and samples of origin of the Holocaust Museum located in Guatemala City and the museum of Buenos Aires. Each museum was built in relation to their recent pasts and it is the interest of this paper to describe and reflect on the uses of memories and the particularities of each country through museum exhibits. This case of Guatemala has the particularity of being the only Latin American country that contains in its recent history a genocide recognized by the UN. It is the interaction between the memory of the Guatemalan genocide and the Jewish genocide that we seek to illuminate. In the case of Argentina, it is a country with an enormous history linked to human rights and the memory of state terrorism. In what ways do memories interact, can they illuminate or obstruct each other? |

In what ways do memories interact, can they illuminate or obstruct each other? El cambio de siglo presentó la proliferación de museos dedicados a la memoria e historia del Holocausto en Latinoamérica. Estos museos se construyeron como espacios dedicados a reflexionar y transmitir la historia del Holocausto judío en países en los cuales no se llevó a cabo la materialidad de los hechos. En cada país, los museos han elaborado relaciones diversas con el pasado reciente. De esta manera una memoria considerada global, interactuó de diferentes formas con las memorias locales. Este artículo indaga sobre la creación, historia y muestras de origen del Museo del Holocausto situado en la Ciudad de Guatemala y el museo de Buenos Aires. Cada museo se construyó en relación con sus pasados recientes y es interés de este trabajo describir y reflexionar sobre los usos de las memorias y las particularidades de cada país a través de las muestras museales. Este caso de Guatemala tiene la particularidad de ser el único país latinoamericano que contiene en su historia reciente un genocidio reconocido por la ONU. Es la interacción entre la memoria del genocidio guatemalteco y el genocidio judío la que se busca iluminar. En el caso argentino, es un país con un enorme recorrido vinculado a los derechos humanos y la memoria del terrorismo de estado. ¿De qué formas interactúan las memorias?, ¿pueden iluminar u obturarse mutuamente? A virada do século apresentou a implantação e proliferação de museus dedicados à memória e à história do Holocausto na América Latina. Esses museus foram construídos como espaços dedicados a refletir e transmitir a história do Holocausto judaico em países onde a materialidade dos fatos não foi realizada. Em cada país, os museus desenvolveram diversas relações com o passado recente. Dessa forma, uma memória considerada global interagiu de diferentes formas com as memórias locais. Este artigo indaga sobre a criação, história e amostras de origem do Museu do Holocausto localizado na Cidade da Guatemala e do Museu de Buenos Aires. Cada museu foi construído em relação ao seu passado recente e é interesse deste trabalho descrever e refletir sobre os usos das memórias e as particularidades de cada país através das amostras museológicas. Este caso da Guatemala tem a particularidade de ser o único país latino-americano que contém em sua história recente um genocídio reconhecido internacionalmente pela ONU. É a interação entre a memória do genocídio guatemalteco e o genocídio judaico que ele busca iluminar. No caso argentino, é um país com uma longa história ligada aos direitos humanos e à memória do terrorismo de Estado. De que maneiras as memórias interagem?Elas podem iluminar ou obscurecer umas às outras? A este respeito, Huyssen afirmou que “deve-se sempre perguntar se e de que forma o Holocausto aprofunda ou obstaculiza práticas locais e lutas pela memória, ou se e de que forma talvez cumpra ambas as funções simultaneamente” (2007, p. .twenty- um).
