Abstract:
Analyzes differences in the language used by historians in describing the Holocaust and - on the other hand - in relating the persecution of the kulaks in the USSR. Claims that the Holocaust is presented in more cruel terms. Protests against historians who assert that the events are not comparable; maybe they are not similar but this can only be found out by comparing them. Affirms that the main difference consists in linguistic terms employed in historiography.
