The memory of mass crimes constitutes the parameters of universal
ethics. The memory of the Holocaust was the reason for this. The
annihilation of European Jews was of paradigmatic importance. In
the meantime, other memories of mass crimes are also calling for
public memory and thus recognition. Such a pluralism of memories
holds a not inconsiderable potential for conflict, especially if
the different misfortunes are attributed to one and the same
historical event - the Second World War. Then opposing
constellations and competitions of memory appear - not only between
the political cultures of western and eastern Europe, but also and
especially between European and colonial memories. Dan Diner's
essay, now available in a bilingual edition, takes up the problem
of conflicting memories of the Second World War and the Holocaust
in terms of history and memory. By reaffirming the meaning of
"Auschwitz" as a breach of civilization, the conditions of
historical judgment and recognition are reflected in the memory
against this very background. Dramatic differences, even
contradictions, between Western and non-European cultures -
especially that of Islam - are heralded here.
