• Resumen

  • The conservation of the Nazi architecture challenges European society since its buildings (public and military, concentration camps, cementeries and battlegrounds) are linked to traumatic events which, however, must be preserved because of their historical value without legitimating their ideology. This paper attempts to analyze the concept of dissonant heritage by the survey of the interventions on several buildings built by Nazism, and to reflect on the blurring of the fingerprint of this ideology. The challenge is to preserve history without forgetting the pain, but taking advantage of its potential to make society aware of such events and use them in a pacific ands constructive way.
