From Ion Antonescu to the „Saints of the Prison”. Extremist symbols in the public space

Abstract

Memory in the public space is represented by symbols and messages with a powerful ideological and historical meaning. Freedom of expression frames a space of competitive memories. The memories of the Second World War or of the Holocaust can be classified as „god” or „bad” according to the degree to which they rewrite the totalitarian and criminal nature of a political life which too often is characterized as „contradictory”.
