The history disputes is important point is located in Korea-Japan relation. The background of history disputes is connected to politics of memory. The politics of memory consider that memorial halls is result for collective memory and important role to make collective memory for shaping national identity. However, We need the study which is developed by something to collective memory. Therefore this paper observes memorial hall in Korea and Japan. In Korea, Independent Memorial Hall and Seodaemun Prison History Hall are typical memorial halls on colony memory. In Japan, Yaskuni shrine and Hiroshima peace memorial hall deal with memory of war. Independent memorial hall only commemorate independent of Korea from Japan imperialism and not historical place. Whereas, Seodaemun Prison History Hall is historical place which penetrated from Japan imperialism period to 60``s Korea modern history. Yaskuni shrine is to justify Japan militarism, and Hiroshima Peace Memorial hall commemorate to use Nuke-Bomb at first and last and sacrifice with japanese. That``s different to commemorate mode and subject in history. Although They share one idea which is victim consciousness. All memorial halls argue a strongly narrative with victim consciousness, Independent Memorial Hall is made for to show consciousness of sufferer by Japan imperialism, and Seodamun Prison History hall give prominence to part of place history when period is suffered by japan imperialism. Ushukan in Yaskuni shrine cherish japanese to sacrifice for japan imperialism without history by assailant with colony-crime. Hiroshima Peace Memorial hall show how to sacrifice Japanese who is far away from war in rear area. In other words, all politics of commemoration is begun by narrative of collective memory which is based on victim consciousness.
