• W347716504 abstract "I want to speak about my generation, this second generation, as well as the transition to the third generation. I am mindful that we are commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Scholars' Conference. Forty years is a biblical generation. We are in the last stages of the founding generation and their extraordinary achievements. When Franklin Littell left us, the field became orphaned of one of its real giants, and the question becomes what happens next and where we go with the transition. We are in a paradoxical situation: We have had extraordinary achievements over this past forty years, but we also face extraordinary problems. In my work, I have indicated that one of the important measures of our success is that we have taken the Holocaust out of the ghetto of being the sole concern of a bereaved community and their allies into the center of national life in the United States and, I would daresay, in the public life of the world. We have positioned the Holocaust as the absolute. Over the past decades the Holocaust has taken its place as the negative absolute of the Western world. In a world of relativism, when we do not know what is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong, we have near universal agreement--except for the lunatic fringe--that Nazism was the embodiment of evil. It was bad--absolutely and indisputably bad. We witness this in ways that make us smile but also in ways that must make us cringe. For example, as criticism of President Barack Obama mounted, his enemies--not his opponents--went on the attack: They called the President a socialist and a Marxist. But, in the post-Cold War world, such terms no longer sting the way they once did. Out of frustration, out of sheer pique, Obama's critics resorted to the nuclear bombs of moral epithets: Nazis, Hitler, the Holocaust. Those terms seem to be understood. still carries moral weight in contemporary culture, and it is reinforced by the many films that have brought the story of the Holocaust to the foreground or used it as a back story, which seem to dominate cinema and television. Holocaust occupies center stage in museums and memorials, in conferences and in scholarship, and also in the public sphere. Another example: When criticism of the proposed health care law got heated, it was compared to Nazi medicine, invoking death panels, even though in reality what was being proposed was just the opposite. At the Nuremberg doctors' trial of medical personnel, the judges realized the need to enunciate ethical principles for physicians that would prevent them from ever engaging in such practices. first principle articulated the universal right of individuals to make their own medical decisions, free from coercion. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential, it reads. health plan that was proposed honored that very principle by entitling the patients to be reimbursed for consultations with their physicians to discuss end-of-life issues. That measure is the essence of humane and moral medical policy, the very antithesis of Nazi medicine and Nazi practice. That is not to say there is no place for a Nazi analogy in this debate. Nazis rose to by mastering the art of propaganda, repeating lies so frequently and so widely that eventually people took them as truth--hence, the importance of seeking out the and exposing those who would engage in such deceit. Only twenty-five years after then-President Ronald Reagan visited the graves of SS officers at Bitburg, the Chancellor of Germany, the President of Germany, and the President of the U.S. make a pilgrimage to Buchenwald guided by Elie Wiesel, the iconic survivor who spoke truth to power and pleaded the President Reagan not to go to Bitburg. Even the deniers testify to its power. President of Iran, in whose country not a Jew was injured during the long years of the Nazi onslaught, seems to want to wish it away. …" @default.
