This book is the first sustained inquiry into the ways in which postmodern thinkers have grappled with the historical bases, implications, and methodological problems of the Holocaust. The book examines the thinking of Arendt, Levinas, Foucault, Lyotard, and Derrida, all of whom have recognized the centrality of the Nazi genocide to the epoch in which we live. The essays written for this volume constitute a wide-ranging study of the efforts of postmodernism to articulate the Holocaust.

”Milchman and Rosenberg (Queens College, CUNY) warn that unless we see the link between power and interest in the “philosophical discourse of modernity,” we will fail to understand genocidal events like the Holocaust, especially if we regard them as radical or unspeakably evil instead as “meaning choices.” These essays will advance some philosophers’, historians’, and grad students’ grasp of postmodernism, if not their understanding of the Holocaust and its place in history.” in: CHOICE, Vol. 36, No. 6, February 1999
