From preface:

The principal incentive to publish this book was the increasing presence of the issue of the Holocaust, not only in historiography, theology or political science, but also in the wide public discourse: namely in the Mass Media, comic books, popular cinema and critical artistic practices that enter the urban spaces courageously and engage both passers-by and tourists. History is no longer restricted to the competence of professional historians. Hence, they try to modify the traditional patterns of narration sometimes making them similar to the artistic discourse. The Holocaust became a criterion for the critical judgment of Western philosophy connected with the question of consequences of “identity thinking” and the relation between epistemology and ethics. It also initiated reflections upon the political engagement of philosophers such as Derrida, Lyotard, Rorty, Finkielkraut or Habermas, involved in public discussions about “The Case of Heidegger”, “The Case of de Man” or the less known case of Eliade.
