Vanishing Points of Memory

What distinguishes racism from antisemitism?

The relationship between colonial crimes and the Holocaust has been discussed internationally for some time. Are Jewish victims given precedence over African victims in our collective memory?

Their works provide Natan Sznaider with ideas and arguments with which to advance the discussion we are having today. Will it ultimately be possible to remember the victims of the Holocaust and of colonialism without relativising history?
