Ethics above Politics

Ethics above Politics

by Claudia Moscovici

Decades later, for some, the Holocaust remains a controversial subject. It still polarizes people into prioritizing national interests over universal moral agreement. Ironically, I think this subject becomes politicized when an essentially ethical question comes up: who bears responsibility for it? This question tends to turn political when important historical figures--leaders of various regimes associated with or supportive of Nazism--become, for some, nationalist symbols. The focus of discussion then changes from a defense of the millions of innocent victims to a defensive nationalist posture. I think that, however complex the political and historical considerations may have been for each country during WWII, it's important to keep in mind
