Questions shape the Holocaust's legacy. 'What happened to ethics
during the Holocaust? What should ethics be, and what can it do
after the Holocaust?' loom large among them. Absent the overriding
or moral sensibilities, if not the collapse or collaboration of
ethical traditions, the Holocaust could not have happened. Its
devastation may have deepened conviction that there is a crucial
difference between right and wrong; its destruction may have
renewed awareness about the importance of ethical standards and
conduct. But Birkenau, the main killing center at Auschwitz, also
continues to cast a disturbing shadow over basic beliefs concerning
right and wrong, human rights, and the hope that human beings will
learn from the past. This book explores those realities and the
issues they contain. It does so not to discourage but to encourage,
not to deepen darkness and despair but to face those realities
honestly and in a way that can make post-Holocaust ethics more
credible and realistic. The book's thesis is that nothing human,
natural or divine guarantees respect for the ethical values and
commitments that are most needed in contemporary human existence,
but nothing is more important than our commitment to defend them,
for they remain as fundamental as they are fragile, as precious as
they are endangered.
