Description
According to Bataille, we need to examine the Holocaust outside of the limited framework of classical economics. His categories and his ultimate rejection of fascism are useful in understanding the psychological background to the other circumstances in which it occurred. They lend credence to the critics who recognise that nazism did not die in 1945
