Description
Author asserts that in settler-colonial contexts, Holocaust memory tends to obscure historic colonial violence; cites the 2017 unveiling of the National Holocaust Monument (NHM) in Ottawa, noting that the narrative surrounding the NHM erases Indigenous peoples from the land and indigenizes the settler state.
