Remembrance
This chapter examines the commemoration of victims of the Terror. It focuses on the transformation of mass graves into expiatory monuments. This process began in the immediate aftermath of the Terror and continued into the Bourbon Restoration. The chapter shows how the struggle of the families to get closure by providing proper burial to their loved ones clashed with the desire of post-revolutionary regimes to keep at bay memories that threatened to reignite civil discord.
