Schlagwort(e):
Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Historiography
Kurzfassung:
States that the scholarship on the Holocaust has been a great boost to the study of genocide in general, but if genocide as a phenomenon is to be understood historically the Holocaust must no longer be seen as "unique". Rather, it should be regarded as part of the continuum of the history of nation-building - on racial, ethnic, political, and developmental grounds - in modern times, that has permitted the commission of the worst atrocities in the name of "progress" and "organic purity".
Anmerkung:
Appeared also in his "History, Memory and Mass Atrocity" (2006) 236-251.
