Make your fellowman worry as you yourself worry. In this article Gérard Rabinovitch presents a critical review of Zygmunt Bauman's book Modernity and the holocaust In his work Rabinovitch discusses the central thesis of the book which sees the holocaust as an effect rather than a post-modern barbarity, but modernity itself. On the one hand, Rabinovitch shows the aspects such as the criminal aspect and Nazism that were excluded from Bauman's analysis; on the other, he points out the essential presence of a value of pessimism which emphasizes the uniqueness of this text.
