What happens when a whole group of humans is excluded from the definition of humanity? How is the power of language used to distort reality? What happens when an economic plan is based on theft, brainwashing, slave labor, and murder? These and other philosophical questions about the Holocaust are contemplated in Contemporary Portrayals of Auschwitz.In 1988, a group of philosophers who had survived the Holocaust, or had known people at Auschwitz, decided to found an organization that would examine the philosophical implications of Shoah: the Society for the Philosophic Study of Genocide and the Holocaust (SPSGH). Noting that the history and the personal horror stories had been told and retold, SPSGH's founders Sander Lee, Berel Lange, and Alan Rosenberg argued that too tittle study had been so far devoted to the philosophy of this and other genocides.Auschwitz problematized the Enlightenment concept of humanity, and other concepts. The perfection of state-sponsored and administered mass death issued in new forms of language, moral indifference, and forgetting. Philosophy often fails even to mention the Holocaust in discussions of National Socialism. And the disaster of Auschwitz has been largely neutralized by the normalization of a "ruined" language.This volume includes essays in several areas: Witnesses and Testimonies, Morality and Ethics, Art and Poetry, History and Memory, and The Crisis of Representation. Contributors are Karyn Ball, Eve Bannet, Debra Bergoften, James Bernauer, Klaus Dorner, Jennifer N. Fink, Roger Fjellstrom, Ruth Liberman, Burkhard Liebsch, Alan Milchman, Raj Sampath, Paul Sars, Hans Seigfried, Thomas W. Simon, Dan Stone, Peter Strasser, Frans vanPeperstratten, Erik M. Vogt, Andrew Weinstein, and others.
