Efforts to preserve and transform Auschwitz and Hiroshima into tourist sites in the aftermath of WWII reveal the difficult and often jarring connection between commemoration and tourism spectacle. As these sites slowly developed throughout the Cold War, another war-tourism conjunction was emerging in which Western soldiers on R&R vacations from the battlefields of Korea and Vietnam intensified racist, patriarchal and often violent modes of dominance.

Keywords:   Auschwitz, Hiroshima, tourism as preservation, Cold War, Rest and Recreation, Korea, Vietnam, violence
