Descrizione
This essay is part of an ongoing project that looks at the way the Holocaust and 'Holocaust memory' comes to be subsumed within contemporary forms of antisemitism.The most recent illustration of this phenomenon concerns recent debates around its annual Holocaust Memorial Day. One of the articulations of these debates is through the language of 'universalism' and 'particularism'. From this perspective, Nazi crimes against Jews are presented as 'universal crimes against humanity'. This chapter examines the genealogy of these debates
