Hacia un destino desconocido:el Memorial de la Shoah en Milán, Italia

The Memorial of the Shoah in Milan is a good example of contemporary museography. This document analyzes the importance of this type of museums to clarify the darkest periods of our recent history and, thus, teach values of peace to future generations. Although the museography of this Memorial tells us the cruel story of the deportations of Jews and political prisoners during the Second World War, the building of the train station is itself a museum piece, because it keeps the traces of deportations in its structure. It is one of the few cases in Europe where container, museum and museum content coincide.
