| Summary: | The Holocaust is both a discrete event in the death and life of the Jewish people and one with lessons for all people. There are many strikingly shared characteristics between the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. These similarities are useful in drawing lessons and developing an Early Warning System on other potentially genocidal movements. Yet, the Holocaust remains morally and theologically unique, and represents a crisis of faith for Christianity which is sharpened by the State of Israel. Christian theology must be reconstructed after the Holocaust, with an end to Christian triumphalism. But there remains a tension between drawing lessons from the parallels with other genocides and confronting the Holocaust fully, an experience without equivalent. |
