Is the Holocaust Unique?
- Synopsis
-
Rosenbaum (philosophy, Cleveland State U. ) presents 17 papers that explore the question of the uniqueness of the Jewish Holocaust in comparison to other examples of genocide or mass death and the implications of different perspectives on whether the Holocaust is unique. New to this third edition are essays addressing common themes in the genocidal ideologies of Hitler, Cambodia's Pol Pot, and the Rwandan Hutu perpetrators of genocide against the Tutsis; Holocaust denial in Iran; and the Holocaust, Rwanda, and the category of genocide. Papers placing the Jewish Holocaust in historical comparison with the experiences of the Roma at the hands of the Nazis, the Atlantic slave trade, the Armenian genocide, Stalinist terror, and Japanese World War II atrocities have been retained, as have discussions on treatments of the question of Holocaust uniqueness among German historians, the politics of genocide scholarship, and legal and moral implications of the question of Holocaust uniqueness.
