Abstract:
Investigates whether it is possible for the historian to reconstruct the events of the Holocaust while avoiding what in contemporary historiography is known as "fiction making", since the Holocaust, like any other historical phenomenon, was forged not only by actions but also by a symbolic discourse which had the pretention of truth. Based on the points of view of Norbert Elias and Zygmunt Bauman, proposes that the researcher, in order to approach the truth, has to introduce the ethical category, which is absent from the symbolic world of the Holocaust.
