Abstract

The abuses in the presentation of the Holocaust in art, film, and literature have been extensively studied in contemporary humanist studies. The analyses point to the phenomenon of the Holocaust’s McDonaldization, its political instrumentalization, ideological manipulation and commercialization.

The author points at a number of dangers which appear in the academic Holocaust discourse – from the “source myth” to narcissistic temptations
