Title The Holocaust : the latent issue in the uniqueness debate.
Original Library/publisher Christians, Jews and Other Worlds
Patterns of Conflict and Accommodation. Ed. by Philip F. Gallagher. Lanham, MD: University Press of America, 1988
Host Item Christians, Jews and Other Worlds (1988) 62-79
Description Surveys the views of historians, philosophers, writers (and others) engaged in the debate, and summarizes their arguments for and against the claim that the Holocaust was a unique event. Argues against the differentiation made by historians between Jewish and non-Jewish victims. Contends that the Holocaust and its uniqueness claim serves as a cultural status claim, a drive for ethnocentric esteem. Argues that this leads the Jews to oppose any manipulation of the symbol by other groups for their own purposes.
