The article shares thoughts on the commemoration of the Jewish Holocaust. The author relates that the Holocaust commemoration failed to provide a political, intellectual or moral ground from which to denounce new expressions of anti-Semitism. Jewish suffering continued to exist because of the emergence of a politics of victimhood that associated the word victim, with that of Jews. Jewish passivity, due to French memorialization of the Holocaust, required downplaying two historical conditions: conditions of detention that were not conducive to fighting back and Jewish resistance. |
