Catechism debate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Catechism Debate, also known as Historikerstreit 2.0, is a debate about German Holocaust remembrance initiated by Australian historian A. Dirk Moses with his 2021 essay "The German Catechism".[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] In the debate, Moses challenges the uniqueness of the Holocaust.[2] In May through August of 2021, scholars reacted to Moses's thesis in the New Fascism Syllabus in a series of reflections curated by Jennifer V. Evans.[8]
