      ab: This essay discusses the geography of memory that is the spatially of history and the ways in which memory is evoked and mediated through individuals' relationship to physical place. In the memorials discussed, the encounter with place unfolds through the act of walking, remembering through a visceral engagement of the body with the site is activated. It is stated that walking can induce a sense of journey or passage to a meditative space of commemoration, but can also be a means of navigating the present everyday reality. The paper also discusses the memorial of Walter Benjamin in Germany called "Passage," which is named after Benjamin's final and unfinished project called Passagenwerk.
