Hitler and the Holocaust have once again come up in discussion on this list. I am at the moment unable to participate in such discussion, but do offer this not-unrelated article which was brought to my attention on a list devoted to such matters. The article is long (three pages) and controversial - and well worth critically engaging with.

_Faustian Bargain_, by Alvin Rosenfeld

"The singular horror of the Holocaust is being lost in exchange for enshrining rare moments of inspiration and universal narratives of suffering"
