This document discusses the history and development of Holocaust museums in Italy. It begins by defining different categories of Holocaust museums, including those built on historical sites and those dedicated specifically to commemorating the Shoah. The document then outlines the early Holocaust memorials and museums established in Italy up until 1989, including sites like the Risiera di San Sabba. It proceeds to discuss some recent and current Holocaust museum projects in Italy, such as the expansion of the Maison d'Izieu and the planned MEIS museum in Ferrara. The document emphasizes that Holocaust museums in Italy serve as bulwarks against denying or trivializing the Shoah and help shape collective memory in a peaceful, democratic manner.

• Introduction to The American Museum of Wonder and Curiosity Cabinets
• Location Rationale
• Mission Statement
• Members of the Board of Directors
• Building Program
• Exhibition Plans
• Permanent Collection
• Special Exhibitions
I am a student from Temple University who expects to graduate in Fall of 2016. At the moment I am studying abroad in Rome as an International Business student. I have created a joint project to commission an english language book on the Jewish community and the artifacts (documented and undocumented) in Rome. I am seeking funding to stay in Rome to continue this project I have started with the Jewish Museum of Rome, the American Universities in Rome and Temple University. The anticipated outcome of this book would be educating and sharing the Jewish History in Rome, the oldest in Europe, which has been the center of continuous Jewish settlement dating back to 161 B.C.E. The intent of the book is to emphasize the influence the Jewish Community has had on the present and past history of Rome to promote the religious coexistence in Rome and in Italy. If this project can be realized the next prospect is to use proceeds and marketing of the book to connect a fund to start the archaeological excavation of the oldest Jewish synagogue in Europe located in Ostia Antica.
Each funder will receive a copy of the book for their funding involvement.

This project was an attempt to investigate the art museum as an specific building type as well as the issues involved in the design of spaces for contemporary art. As every architectonic object, art museums are deeply connected with the functions they must fulfil and must act on the user as a stimulus which requires a behaviour response.*
According to Michel Foucault museums are sites that have the curious property of being in relation with all other sites, but in such a way as to suspend, neutralize, or invert the set of relations that they happen to designate, mirror or reflect. The museum space is capable of juxtaposing in a single space several sites that are in themselves incompatible . Its space begins to function at full capacity when men arrive at a sort of absolute break with their traditional idea of time.
Designing a new museum requires a strong concept. An art museum should never be made as a neutral, weak thing. It should be made new and passionate. The museum space should create possibilities for the unpredictable. A space that is inspired, unconventional, unafraid of taking risks, humorous, provocative and spontaneous.
The new museum shouldn’t be there to train people how to answer but how to question. That what’s the new museum is for.

Talk held at Urban History Exhibited. Seminar at Den Gamle By in Aarhus, Denmark. 25th October 2011.

Abstract:
I spent 2010 surveying city museums in Europe and the United States as part of a Fulbright-sponsored research project. Since then I have continued to closely follow developments in this field in order to determine what we are doing poorly, what we are doing well, and what the 21st-century city museum should look like. Drawing from this work, my paper will explore recent trends in urban public history, particularly those taking place outside the walls of the physical museum, including geo-tagging, pop-up museums, user-generated content, and hyper-local history projects. I will also discuss what these trends mean for city museums and for our audiences. I will end with my personal vision for the 21st-century city museum.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

4. A basic question: what is a Museum?
Museums are basically collective memory machines.
As such, museums were established in the XVIIIth
century, first in Rome, then in Florence and London.
Their primary functions were to preserve beautiful or
‘important’ objects; to promote research; to
communicate their own knowledge to the public.
5. Definition
Modern museums are institutions, either public or
private, aimed at preserving, studying and
expanding to the public the knowledge of single
or series of cultural assets.
Each cultural asset, no matter if material or
immaterial, has to do with the concept and the
value of collective memory.
6. Categories: Museums and the Shoah
• Museums built or installed on – or close to –
sites where historical events connected to the
Shoah took place
• Museums of individual Jewish communities or
of the entire Jewish people
• Shoah, or Holocaust Museums per se

88. Conclusions
Out of Israel, the Museums of the Shoah have been
created so to fulfill the demand arose by modern
democracies of the Western world.
They are a strong part of our collective memory. They try
to orient it, to shape it in pacific, democratic and
reasonable terms.
They serve as ramparts of Memory: in Italy, they are
ramparts against the banalization and denial of the Shoah.
89. Key factors in the building process
• the ‘tactical scenario’, eg Italian political balance
and changes
• the global and European scenario
• to accept the memory Shoah and transform it
into the key factor in the peace-process of
Europe
