Some of the twentieth century’s most intense episodes of mass violence have homepages, maintained by people and institutions with a vested interest in preserving the memory of the murdered.

All are sincere testimonial gestures, and their continuities and contrasts hint at a digital aesthetic of twentieth century mass violence remembrance.
