Memorials and war monuments commemorate the official victims of the dictatorships and wars of the 20th century. But where do we commemorate the thousands of nameless, secretly buried dead, whether Jews or Roma, anti-communists or partisans? How do we live in landscapes contaminated by the countless massacres covered up in Central Europe, in Rechnitz in Burgenland, in Koevski Rog in Slovenia or in Kurapaty near Minsk? In his essay, Martin Pollack sets out to draw a different, more truthful map of our continent, with equal care and ruthlessness. A map in which memory and location take the place of poisoned secrets and anonymous graves.
