Petrification of military memory versus piety: Military monuments and mass graves in their historical operation
Kessler, Vojtěch
The text deals with the reception of military monuments, found on the territory of the Czech Republic, which are related to the war events from 1757 to 1866. The memorials can be understood as specific memory locations, whose so-called second life modifies the historical awareness of the relevant military events. War memorials constitute a relatively wide range: from the purely military, celebratory monuments, which are found mostly on elevated dominant locations of battlefields, to reverential memorials with graves or even mass graves.
