Fackenheim asserts that the Holocaust is not simply one more catastrophe in an endless chain of catastrophes in human history. It is unique because never before had genocide been made its own end, serving no other purpose. The Holocaust is the 'celebration' of evil for its own sake, and the face of the world has been changed once and for all.
