Como cantar en tierra extraña. Para una memoria española del holocausto

Abstract

The approach to the problem of the Holocaust also requires a setting: that of our own history. Among the frequent and effective ways of denying the Holocaust within a culture that refuses limits and mutually binding responsability, especially serious will be the one which prevents us from retracing our own steps and remembering Sefarad, since it would turn the Shoah into a subject rather than into a process which engages us. To analyse both the ways in which the Jews where stigmatised and excluded in the Peninsula and the denial of this history of our most recent past, is a prior stage to the relection on the causes of the "distance" regarding the Holocaust in the Second World War. Moral reasons are embodied as biographical reasons too.
