Abstract

Is the history of the Holocaust useful to us as we negotiate the world in which we live today? Many scholars have maintained that the Holocaust was an extension of modern development. Others hold that the Holocaust signified an utter rupture in western civilisation. But if the past is identical to the present, it lacks context and specificity. If the past is only and solely past, it has nothing to say about the present and future. In this article, the authors present an alternative to this bipolar scheme, and they explore questions about the Holocaust and its significance that their construct lays bare.
