<p>Abstract:</p><p>Memorials and monuments represent a society's view of its own history and the conclusions we collectively wish to draw about its meaning. In America in recent years, public clashes over the presence of contested public memorialsâincluding and especially monuments dedicated to the Confederate cause in the United States Civil Warâhave led to considerable debate over the proper role for such monuments in public spaces. Such debates also provide high school teachers with a unique opportunity to explore contested history and the process of memorialization. In this article, that process is analyzed, using the nation of Germany as a comparative example of how to build a "memory culture." Various teaching methods are also discussed, including strategies for reconceptualizing memorials through a "truth and reconciliation" process.</p>
