Harnessing the Holocaust presents the compelling story of how the
Nazi genocide of the Jews became an almost daily source of
controversy in French politics. Joan Wolf argues that from the
Six-Day War through the trial of Maurice Papon in 1997-98, the
Holocaust developed from a Jewish trauma into a metaphor for
oppression and a symbol of victimization on a wide scale. Using
scholarship from a range of disciplines, Harnessing the Holocaust
argues that the roots of Holocaust politics reside in the
unresolved dilemmas of Jewish emancipation and the tensions
inherent in the revolutionary notion of universalism. Ultimately,
the book suggests, the Holocaust became a screen for debates about
what it means to be French.
