[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
Ethical responses to the Holocaust face two temptations: to mythologize evil, or to domesticate suffering. Deals with how we want to put as much distance as possible between us and the horrors of the Holocaust, while wanting to draw nearer to those who suffer, and reduce their suffering
