| Research Abstract |
The project has investigated how museum and museum professionals of negative heritage are committed to educational programs that promote the conservation, continuation and communication to society of the world's natural and cultural heritage, present and future, tangible and intangible. The project focuses on the analyses of how practitioners are working closely with community and political leaders, local governments and international organizations. The main target sites are cities that were once brought to complete destruction by the dropping of atomic bomb or air raids during the war : From Dresden, Berlin, Hiroshima to Tokyo. The study is based on field research and interviewing practitioners and policy makers who are involved in preserving the historic sites. These include members of the International Committee of Memorial Museums for the Remembrance of Victims of Public Crimes and the International Coalition of Historic Site Museum of Conscience.
