Museum of the Victim is dedicated to presenting current and historical
data with the victim placed at the center of events. The victim is a
historical constant – a general reality present in all places and at
all times. As such, the Museum does not focus on any specific period or
people but rather is an ever growing global narrative built around a
complex role, too often relegated to the footnotes of historical
research and modern affairs reporting.
The MV seeks to define the term Victim broadly, exposing the complexity of the term as a concept. In doing so, our goal is to shed light on the events and circumstances surrounding this systematically neglected character within the context of historic and current affairs.
The MV strives to be as pluralistic as possible. To develop and maintain an independent and impartial attitude and a rigorous and accurate analysis, an exchange of ideas – at times confrontational ideas – is beneficial and necessary. In this spirit, we are open to and encourage contributions from other parties as well as challenges to our materials and analysis from all quarters.
Due to the often intense nature of the material, there is a great amount of pressure on the analyst to editorialize content into a political framing. We want to stress our commitment to resist sensationalization of the material and to provide an analysis that is as independent, rigorous, and impartial as possible.
