Dedicated to my mother and to the memory of my father and to everyone who ever entered a historical site and wanted to change something

I have been thinking about and writing parts of this book for a very, very long time. This book would not exist without the support and insights of many scholars, colleagues, and friends. Without the careful and thoughtful observations of those who have studied and written about sites of public memory, I could not have built on their insights and valuable contributions. And without the patience and encouragement of colleagues and friends, I could not have completed this research.
