Holocaust Memory and Revenge: The Presence of the Past.
- Authors
Lang, Berel
- Abstract
The article discusses the phenomenon of revenge in the aftermath of the Shoah. It cites the explanations of the absence of the topic of revenge in the discourses which shape the memory and history of the Shoah such as the evidence of overt acts of revenge was dismissible, and that nobody has looked for it. It also discusses the displacement effect which is the appearance of revenge in other guises. It also presents the nature and moral status of revenge including the concepts of justice and forgiveness, and the basic link between revenge and the faculty of memory.
