  Professor Young is the author of "Writing and Rewriting the 
  Holocaust" (1988), "The Texture of Memory" (1993), which 
  won the National Jewish Book Award in 1994, and "At 
  Memory's Edge: After-images of the Holocaust in 
  Contemporary Art and Architecture" (2000). He was also the 
  Guest Curator of an exhibition at the Jewish Museum in New 
  York City, entitled "The Art of Memory: Holocaust 
  Memorials in History" (March - August 1994, with venues in 
  Berlin and Munich, September 1994 - June 1995) and was the 
  editor of "The Art of Memory" (1994), the exhibition 
  catalogue for this show. 

  In 1997, Professor Young was appointed by the Berlin Senate 
  to the five-member Findungskommission for Germany's 
  national "Memorial to Europe's Murdered Jews," under 
  construction in Berlin. He has also consulted with 
  Argentina's government on its memorial to the 
  desaparacidos, as well as with numerous city agencies on 
  their memorials and museums. Most recently, he was 
  appointed by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation to 
  the jury for the World Trade Center Site Memorial 
  competition. 

  The recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, he was 
  appointed in 2000 as Editor-in-Chief of the Posen Library 
  of Jewish Culture and Civilization, a ten-volume anthology 
  of primary sources, documents, texts, and images, 
  forthcoming with Yale University Press.
