Description
Examines the relationship between the persistence of antisemitism after 1945 and Holocaust remembrance. The trivialisation of the Holocaust as well as the reversal of perpetrators and victims in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has become a widespread phenomenon across Europe. The Middle East conflict has become a backdrop for the projection of antisemitic sentiments, often related to the Holocaust. Wetzel highlights the difficulty of respecting the singularity of the Holocaust with regard to other atrocities and totalitarian regimes
