`This book is a courageous critique of generalizing the Holocaust into a universal frame for evil and victimhood, and making the commemoration of massive violence a moral obligation. With sensitivity, the authors examine the costs of the ensuing divisiveness, and propose dialogue, compromise, and the acknowledgment of past suffering instead.' - Antonius C. G. M. Robben, Utrecht University, Netherlands `... the authors' general reflections about the mantra Never Again and the challenging and bold lesson of Memory and Forgetting in the Post-Holocaust Era regarding the `dark side' of the well-intentioned but complex idea of Never Again are an important message for activists, practitioners, scholars and citizens alike.' - European Journal of Cultural and Political Sociology
