La littérature de l'holocauste pose problème à la critique éthique dans la mesure où celle-ci cherche le plus souvent à affirmer la pertinence des valeurs que l'holocauste remet en question. Cet article examine des textes de Charlotte Delbo, Elie Wiesel et Jorge Semprun qui suggèrent que la rencontre avec l'holocauste est impossible pour les survivants et leurs lecteurs ; l'événement est trop traumatisant pour être intégré à l'expérience du sujet et la connaissance qu'il offre est décrite comme inutile ou dangereuse. Enfin, la notion d'" enseignement " est empruntée à la pensée de Levinas pour esquisser une façon d'aborder la littérature de l'holocauste qui ne consisterait pas à se l'approprier du point de vue des valeurs du lecteur.

Novel Coronavirus

Jews as a collective have long served as scapegoats for epidemics and pandemics, such as the Bubonic Plague and, according to some scholars, the 1918–1920 influenza pandemic. This practice reemerged in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, when more and more fake news outlets in the US and Europe started publishing articles on a perceived linkage between Jewish communities and the novel coronavirus. What this article aims to achieve is to facilitate a dialogue between the observations on the phenomenon made by the Elie Wiesel National Institute for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania and the latest related EU reports, with a view to charting its beginnings in Romania in relation to other European countries and in an attempt to see whether Romania, like France and Germany, has witnessed the emergence of “grey area” discourses which are not fully covered by International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism.

American Policy

This chapter presents Ambassador vanden Heuvel's views on American immigration policies towards Jews before and during WWII. In response to a documentary by the historian David Wyman criticizing Roosevelt and his administration, vanden Heuvel began his own research to set the record straight. He demonstrates that American policy toward refugees was more generous than any other country at the time and that efforts by FDR to encourage Congress to revise refugee quotas would have resulted in a reduction of those quotas by an isolationist Congress. He refutes the idea that the exact details of the death camps were widely known at the time and thus could have prompted a military plan to save the Jews. He also recalls his intervention with President Jimmy Carter to challenge such claims by Elie Wiesel and others.
