“To Ensure that these Emotions are Passed to the Next Generation”: The Netherlands American Military Cemetery in Margraten as a site of Transatlantic Memory Diplomacy during George... by Albertine Bloemendal

“…By incorporating the role and agency of Dutch citizens in the development of the local commemorative culture, which in turn informed alternative—‘vernacular’—interpretations of the ‘meaning’ of Margraten as a lieu de mémoire, it demonstrates not only how top-down—‘official’—aims and narratives were at times contested, but also how public diplomacy has the power to obfuscate such alternative meanings, while simultaneously building upon these citizen initiatives for its own purposes. More specifically, this article demonstrates how president Bush’s visit was rhetorically and visually framed through the memory of World War II—linked to Margraten as the décor of this transatlantic diplomatic spectacle—and how this framing in turn informed ‘emotional norms’ that facilitated the creation of an unequal platform for political messaging in favor of the purposes and narratives of the official political-diplomatic actors.…”
