Abstract
Incidents such as the Damschreeuwer in 2010 suggest that traditional views on how the Holocaust should be remembered and respected seem to be fading whom. Occurrences such as this ensure that research into the factors involved in the valuation of these sites might prove to be valuable. In particular, given Europe’s and The Netherlands’ increasingly multi-ethnic population, the main research question is “to what extent, and in which ways, does the valuation of Holocaust memorial sites differ between ethnic groups?” Through a survey amongst 168 participants the research found that there are in fact differences in valuation between ethnic groups. The main findings are that heritage has been used to promote an imagined community, or a sense of a collective identity among residents of the city of Groningen, and that pre-existing knowledge has an important influence on both the initial aesthetic and symbolic valuation of heritage sites.
