Postmodernism and the Holocaust
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.
Postmodernism and Holocaust Denial
Does postmodernism, with its relativism and claims that historical study is little more than a discourse of political power promote and defend thinking that denies the occurrence of the Holocaust in Nazi Germany? This book argues not, exploring the key issues affecting historians today through a vital study of this most atrocious of crimes against humanity.

Robert Eaglestone argues that postmodernism is a response to the Holocaust. He offers a range of new perspectives, including new ways of looking at testimony and at and recent Holocaust fiction; explores controversies in Holocaust history; looks at the importance of the Holocaust for recent philosophy; and asks what the Holocaust means for reason, ethics, and for being human.
