Description
A wide-ranging series of reflections on the nature of the Holocaust and its legacy. One lesson it teaches us is that life is about survival; another is that we must now make the world Holocaust-proof. Hannah Arendt's dictum that "anti-Semitism may explain
the choice of victims but not the nature of the crime" is endorsed. Conclusion: The murder of the European Jews can be understood only as part of an attempt to create a new Europe.
