Abstract:
Focuses on the impact of his wartime experiences on his postwar thought and writings, as well as his views regarding the situation of the Jews in Europe after 1945. Describes Edelman’s role in the Warsaw ghetto resistance and in the ghetto uprising, and his postwar attitude toward the memory of victims in Poland and worldwide. He remained a socialist, but he opposed the instrumentalization of the memory of the Warsaw ghetto uprising by the communist authorities in Poland. Despite the universalism of his views, Edelman insisted on the uniqueness of the Holocaust.
