Summary

This chapter begins with two contrasting tales of state-managed reburials and then mainly focuses on Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl, the national cemetery. The recent process whereby Mount Herzl and the adjoining Holocaust Memorial are joined together is described, and the chapter reviews the multiple divisions and conflicts that presently characterize Israeli society.
