The Second World War is omnipresent in contemporary global memory debates. This is the first study to systematically analyze on a global scale how museums allow today's visitors to comprehend and experience the history of the war. It analyzes twelve permanent exhibitions located in Europe and North America in order to understand the cognitive, ethical, and emotional potential and effects of Second World War exhibitions today.
