History

"In her book  Learning From the Germans , the philosopher Susan  Neiman observes that the enormity of the Holocaust has forced Germany to address the darkest aspects of its past. But it has also allowed Britain and America not to do so, to avoid thinking too deeply about the history of slavery or of empire, to minimise their horrors in comparison with the Holocaust." —Kenan Malik, the Guardian online 13 October 2019
