Yehuda Bauer, one of the world's premier historians of the Holocaust, here presents an insightful overview and reconsideration of its history and meaning. Drawing on research he and other historians have done in recent years, he offers fresh opinions on such basic issues as how to define and explain the Holocaust; whether it can be compared with other genocides; how Jews reacted to the murder campaign against them; and what the relationship is between the Holocaust and the establishment of Israel.The Holocaust says something terribly important about humanity, says Bauer. He analyzes explanations of the Holocaust by Zygmunt Bauman, Jeffrey Herf, Goetz Aly, Daniel Goldhagen, John Weiss, and Saul Friedländer and then offers his own interpretation of how the Holocaust could occur. Providing fascinating narratives as examples, he deals with reactions of Jewish men and women during the Holocaust and tells of several attempts at rescue operations. He also explores Jewish theology of the Holocaust, arguing that our view of the Holocaust should not be clouded by mysticism: it was an action by humans against other humans and is therefore an explicable event that we can prevent from recurring.… (plus d'informations)

È ancora possibile, a più di sessant'anni di distanza, dire qualcosa di nuovo sull'Olocausto? E, soprattutto, ha senso farlo? A questi due interrogativi, che costituiscono il filo rosso di Ripensare l'Olocausto, Yehuda Bauer risponde affermativamente. (fonte: Google Books)
  MemorialeSardoShoah | May 24, 2020 |
Ripensare alla genesi dell’Olocausto, alle ragioni di un evento che rappresenta un unicuum nella, comunque, tormentata storia dell’uomo è un modo per pensare, per non perdere la traccia della memoria. Yehuda Bauer è uno studioso israeliano e raccoglie, o meglio ordina, in questo saggio dei suoi contributi scritti sull’argomento nel corso degli anni. E il libro si chiude con un discorso dell’autore davanti al Parlamento tedesco tenuto il 27 gennaio del 1998. Bauer parte da un presupposto: l’olocausto degli ebrei perpetrato dai nazisti non va nel solco delle precedenti persecuzioni razziali, a danno degli ebrei, o delle minoranze etniche. I pogrom, la strage dei curdi, dei tutsi, gli eccidi di Pol Pot in Cambogia hanno un filo conduttore: l’eliminazione di alcune minoranze ritenute ostili; con genocidi e crimini efferati contro l’umanità. Ma l’olocausto ha una matrice diversa, la colpa degli ebrei non è imputabile a quello che hanno fatto, ad un sistema di responsabilità sociali, ad un semplice odio razziale; la loro colpa è quella di essere nati. E non basta eliminarli dalla Germania o dai territori occupati; l’obiettivo dei nazisti era quello di estirpare il male alla radice, estinguendo un popolo a titolo definitivo. Lungo questo percorso Bauer articola un’analisi approfondita che spazia dalla resistenza, o dalla desistenza, degli ebrei, per giungere all’atteggiamento che i tedeschi e gran parte degli abitanti dei territori occupati hanno avuto nei confronti degli ebrei, legittimando i crimini dei nazisti. Non sono i volenterosi carnefici di Hitler, come sostenuto da Goldhagen; ma un intero popolo contaminato dalla volontà di eseguire gli ordini di una elitè e di una burocrazia in grado di garantire efficientemente il più efferato crimine della storia dell’uomo. Lessi questo libro nel 2010, ancora non avevo compiuto 40 anni, la vita ancora non mi aveva fornito gli strumenti necessari a comprendere quanto l’odio e l’ignoranza possano deviare l’uomo. Ora ho gli strumenti; ma non riesco a farmene una ragione.

Recensione del 12 dicembre 2010
Un approccio diverso all’Olocausto. Questo l’obiettivo di Bauer in un libro che parte da lontano, per arrivare alla fondazione dello stato di Israele. I libri dell’Olocausto sono in genere fondati sui racconti, storie di dramme individuali che rappresentano la tragedia collettiva; niente più della realtà per raccontare la follia dell’Olocausto. Il libro di Bauer usa percorsi diversi, entrando nel cuore della cultura ebraica e dell’odio verso questa medesima cultura. Il libro risulta interessante e di agevole lettura, ma è evidente l’assenza di profondità. Troppo forti gli assiomi dell’autore che ne condizionano i percorsi di ricostruzione. Buono, invece, l’impianto del libro e la suddivisione in undici capitoli. Alcuni spunti sono molto interessanti e consentono di riflettere su temi fondamentali come la differenza tra l’Olocausto e gli altri genocidi. Un giudizio, complessivamente, buono ma con alcune zone d’ombra. ( )

The title of this latest contribution from Bauer is slightly misleading; as valuable as it is, the volume is not really a rethinking of the Holocaust but rather a revisiting of the major problems and interpretations in Holocaust studies. Bauer, director of the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, begins with a short discussion of what exactly historians do. He quite rightly departs from standard practice when he asks such moral and "what if" questions as what could have been done? and what should have been done? Contrary to what he calls Elie Wiesel's "mystification" of the Holocaust, he insists that the catastrophe was a human invention and therefore historically and "rationally" explicable. Separate chapters deal with Jewish armed and unarmed resistance, and with rescue attempts--he examines, for instance, the case of Gisi Fleischmann, a Zionist leader who worked to get as many Jews out of Slovakia as possible, which Bauer uses to discuss issues of gender, arguing that women did not fight for the status of women separately but for collective and individual survival and for honor. Most fascinating for non-Jewish readers are the chapter on Jewish theological attempts to explain the Holocaust and Bauer's valuable synthesis and reexamination of some of the major interpretations of the Holocaust. Bauer ends by looking at how the Holocaust is related to the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 (he rejects, for instance, the notion that "a guilt complex" on the part of Western countries led them to vote for partition of British Palestine). (Jan.)Forecast: This book will become a staple of Holocaust literature and should enjoy a long, if quiet, life in print.

Paul Breines, Washington Post Book World
"Bauer's book . . . reaches beyond issues of rescue, offering a strong introduction to many of the analytic debates on Nazi genocide."

One of the world's premier historians of the Holocaust evaluates accepted views of its history and meaning in this thoughtful book. Yehuda Bauer offers his own interpretation of why the Holocaust occurred and how another could be prevented. He offers fresh opinions on topics ranging from how Jews reacted to the murder campaign against them to the relationship between the Holocaust and the establishment of Israel.
