Holocaust And Memory In The Global Age (Politics History & Social Chan)

In The Holocaust and Memory in the Global Age, Daniel Levy and Natan Sznaider examine the distinctive forms that collective memory take in the age of globalisation. Levy and Sznaider examine the way the Holocaust has been remembered in Germany, Israel, and the US during the last fifty years, and show how this 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, as responses to other injustices, like ethnic cleansing in Bosnia have depended on a collective understanding of the Holocaust to justify such actions.
