Résumé
The purpose of this article is to show why and how places of painful memories represent space objects in their own right. Those places include sites as diverse as the Holocaust museums built in major Western capitals after the end of the Second World War, the rehabilitated Tuol Sleng prison in Phnom Penh, an infamous place of torture and crimes committed by Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge between 1975 and 1978, or the Cu Chi tunnels in Southern Vietnam, recently open to tourism. These sites are reclassified as heritage because of the national and international tourists visiting them.
