The Holocaust And Memory In The Global Age

Klappentext Examines the nature of collective memory in a globalized world, and how the memory of one singular event - the Holocaust - helped give rise to an emerging global consensus on human rights Zusammenfassung Examines the way the Holocaust has been remembered in Germany! Israel! and the US. This title shows how singular event has been detached from its precise context and instead used as a way of focusing abstract questions of good and evil! and how this use has given the Holocaust a resonance across the global stage.
