Abstract:
Surveys criticism by Western and Arab scholars of Arab relativization or denial of the Holocaust. Argues that rather than attributing this attitude narrowly to the influence of Nazism or to the Arab-Israeli conflict, it is necessary to see it in a wider historical perspective. Abd al-Wahab al-Missiri and Georges Corm come closest to this approach: both see the Holocaust as one more manifestation of European assertions of racial supremacy, which also produced the colonialism from which the Arabs suffered themselves.
