| 要約: | The Attitude of Romanian Intellectuals towards the Holocaust and its Memory in Post-Communist RomaniaThe present study comprises an analysis of the positions adopted by today’s Romanian intellectuals, those who shape the predominant attitude in the Romanian culture towards the Holocaust – and especially towards its Romanian chapter. One can notice that the intellectual elites of postcommunist Romania seem to formally recognize the horrors perpetrated by the Romanian State against Jews and Roma during the Second World War and to be animated by the duty to preserve the memory of the victims of the Holocaust. At the same time, by x-raying the public discourse of the Romanian intellectuals on the Holocaust, the study reveals several persistent distortions :1) the downplaying of the nationalistic and anti-Semitic commitments of some of the leading figures of the interwar intelligentsia ;2) the discrediting of the direct testimonies regarding the Romanian chapter of the Holocaust ;3) the discrediting of the so-called “anti-anti-Semites” and “holocaustology” (a reference to the “Holocaust Industry”) ;and, finally, 4) the obsession of the symmetry between Nazism and Communism, Auschwitz and Gulag. |
