Description
Jikeli presents research based on in-depth interviews with 117 young male Muslims from Berlin, Paris and London. Their views reveal a number of patterns of thinking regarding the Holocaust, and are influenced by antisemitic views that shape distorted views of the Holocaust. The use of the term Holocaust as an empty metaphor is a result of a lack of understanding of the specificity of the Holocaust and the drawing of inappropriate comparisons invites the minimisation of the Holocaust
