Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Holocaust awareness has become a worldwide phenomenon, and an international free republic of Holocaust researchers has emerged. Among long-term trends field of Holocaust studies are universalization of victimhood and extension of circle of perpetrators. Present trends include Holocaust history local history, integration of perpetrator and victim histories, and explanation of perpetrator behavior ideological terms. Anticipated future developments include greater discussion of outlawing of Holocaust denial, and return of explanation of perpetrator behavior terms of disposition. The term genocide has come to be used too often. It is not only used a shield, but also a sword new quests for utopia. The History of Field of Holocaust Research The field ofHolocaust research became truly international 1970s.2 The single most important development since then has growth of a worldwide free republic of researchers, which now includes scholars from Israel, United States, United Kingdom, both Western and Eastern Europe, Canada, and Australia. There is some research by scholars from South America, but it mostly deals with Jewish emigration to that part of world during 1930s, not with Holocaust proper. Not yet included are scholars from Africa and Asia. The boundaries of this republic of Holocaust research are essentially boundaries of part of world that during Cold War, before fall of Berlin Wall, constituted free West - along with Eastern Europe. points to fact that Holocaust awareness is a way to discuss core political values of West such democracy, responsibility, and solidarity. It also is an instrument to strengthen democratic ethos Eastern Europe. As Omer Bartov has put it, in a century characterized by a quest for perfection, Holocaust awareness deals with the narrow path between utopia and hell. The murderous pursuit of Utopian politics has been engine of our epoch's aspirations and disillusionments, violence and annihilation.... In essence our century has tried to define what and who is human, and then to set rules to how human beings should live society and who must be excluded from it altogether.3 In keeping with Yehuda Bauer's outlook, basis for these discussions is idea of universalization of victimhood, that is, idea that everybody is a potential victim of genocide.4 In other words, identity is not only an unfailing source of empowerment; Holocaust makes abundantly clear that identity is also a risk, and possibly a fatal one. As Bauer wrote: What happened before, can happen again. We all are possible victims, possible perpetrators, possible bystanders. . . . The Holocaust is a warning. It adds three commandments to ten of Jewish-Christian tradition: Thou shalt not be a perpetrator; Thou shall not be a passive victim; and Thou most certainly shalt not be a bystander.5 universality of importance of Holocaust by no means contradicts specificity of Holocaust; two notions are two sides of same coin. Holocaust educators across globe prove this every day. To quote Bauer once more: This menace is universal and at same time - because it is founded on experience of Holocaust -very specifically connected with Jews. The specific and universal cannot be separated. And Bauer also observed: as a symbol of evil awareness of Holocaust is spreading all over world.6 Division of Labor In somewhat smaller republic of Holocaust researchers there is - or perhaps was - an implicit division of labor. American and German scholars specialize(d) studies of perpetrators; Israelis have strongly focused on victims. In past these two types of research were not connected. There is not yet sufficient input by younger scholars from Eastern Europe, although some of younger researchers from Ukraine appear promising. …
