Abstract:
Based on a lecture delivered in Berlin, July 1999. Protests against the use of the metaphor of the Holocaust and "the lessons of the Holocaust" in present-day German politics, especially to justify Germany's participation in the NATO attack on Yugoslavia. This relativizes the Holocaust: even though photographs seem similar, Yugoslav prison camps are not Nazi concentration camps, ethnic Albanians driven over the border are not in the same situation as deported Jews, and the Serbian policy is not genocide.
