Description
Rosenberg contends that the Holocaust was a unique event that cannot be completely explained logically or through recourse to historical causes, nor by introducing such elements as racial theory and the concvept of genocide.. He holds that the identification of the Holocaust as demonic entials a significant implication for Jews. The Holocaust was a war against Jews and everything or everyone identified as Jews simply because of their Jewishness. In this he argues it differed from the Nazi assault against other groups. Only Jews were selected by the Nazis as absolutely "other". As such they must be understood as the preeminent enemy of Satan and the ally of God and good.
