Description
Discusses initial false perceptions that are still relevant today e.g. mentions the myth of alleged victims' passivity, the narrative that the State of Israel was born out of the Shoah and the concept of totalitarianism which denies the specificity of the Shoah and Nazism. Describes the transition from silence about the Holocaust after the Second World War to the current centrality of the Holocaust
