Whose Holocaust?
By Margot Lurie • Friday, January 27, 2012
Za većinu Evrope danas je "Internacionalni dan sjećanja na Holokaust", priznat od UN, i njegov glavni sekretar Ban-Ki Moon je posvetio svoj govor djeci ubijenoj od nacista, uz poruku:" najbolje podsjećanje na tu djecu je da se nauči univerzalna lekcija o Holokaustu, tako da takve strahote neće vidjeti buduće generacije".
Njegova poruka je svakako odgovarajuća, ali neki postavljaju pitanje rečenice "univerzalne lekcije", jer se o Holokaustu sve više govori, ne kao o jednom primjeru ljudskog zla, već se vezuje uz druge suvremene genocide Darfur, Bosna, Rwanda. Fokus sjećanja se premješta sa evropskih decimiranih Židova na one koji su danas proganjani kao homoseksualci, Romi , mentalni ili fizički bolesnici. A čak i Palestinci koriste taj dan da kritiziraju Izrael.

Israel and Western Guilt by Aryeh Tepper
... Viewed through Wilfred McClay's lens, the legacy of the Holocaust initially conferred upon the Jews a kind of perverse prestige as a certified victim class. But for how long?
Holocaust without End by Alex Joffe
Sixty-six years after the end of World War II, the Holocaust remains one of the central puzzles of human history. For Jews, the imperative is clear: to remember and to encourage others to remember.But remember what?
It Isn't Even Past
The recent theft and recovery of the sign Arbeit Macht Frei from the gate of Auschwitz, and the emotional responses elicited by the incident, drive home just how deeply embedded the Holocaust and its imagery remain in contemporary consciousness.
Muslim Anti-Semitism
The prevalence of deep anti-Semitism in many parts of the Muslim world is one of today's scarier phenomena. To some, it can also seem mysterious. Nor did Islam ever bring forth a racially-infused hatred of Jews like that of the Spanish Church—or, in our own times, the Nazis.
Too Many Museums? by Diana Muir Appelbaum
Despite the proliferation of Holocaust institutions, and the millions of dollars,..Many such museums, trying to address all human evil under the rubric of the Holocaust, strip the event of all necessary distinctions, turning the attempted genocide of the Jews into a generalized lesson about prejudice
